Robert Williamson, CEO, says he founded the site after finding nothing on the Internet that was a good enough fit for the packaging materials and equipment industry.The decision on whether to use the online store or the live auction depends on what is to be sold, according to site instructions.If the item or lot is normally in stock and has an established value, use of the site store as an online catalog should be considered.The auction is better suited for items or lots that are not normally available or do not have a specific established value.
Only registered members of the site can do buying and selling, although nonmembers may browse the store offerings and the auction floor.There is no charge for membership and "for a limited time only," no fee for listing materials in the store or the auction and no commission charges on sales.
