About Bonanzle
Bonanzle is a startup person-to-person marketplace with two goals: make it easy to sell stuff, and make it addictive.
What's different about Bonanzle than every other place you could sell or buy stuff from people?
- Bonanzle is simple to pickup and simple to master: it is a decimal-free zone, you don't waste time choosing bold or outlined listings, and there's no html markup in item descriptions. With that simplicity comes speed -- there is no faster site to put up items for sale, and there is no faster way to go from wanting an item to owning it. Bonanzle go zoom.
- It's fun! When's the last time you enjoyed putting an item up for sale on eBay? When's the last time you made a friend while making a deal for Modest Mouse tickets? At Bonanzle, you might start off intending just to buy or sell an item, but the people you'll meet in each booth are the real destination.
- Bonanzle recognizes that selling your stuff is like eating potato chips -- most people don't stop at just one. We're dedicated to helping you sell many items quickly and simply. You need visit only one page to post an item.
- Our wonderful time-saving picture cropper. Take and upload just one photo for multiple items. We recommend reading the brief introduction to the picture cropper before photographing your stuff. Why didn't anybody think of this before?
- Sellers can transfer items posted on Craigslist by using our magical gerbils. Even we don't understand how they do it.
The Team
The Bonanzle team is comprised of action-minded experts whose first priority is giving users an experience that makes them feel like they rule.
The team is based in the Seattle area, and led by founder Bill Harding. Bill's long history of entrepreneurial pursuits began at age 11, when he founded a candy store within his primary school that grossed hundreds of dollars annually. Bill's passion for seeing a great idea become reality has continued ever since, with a series of profitable businesses stretching from a self-published magazine to an online laptop store to a casual games development team.
Running through all of Bills entrepreneurial pursuits are the common themes of creativity infused with a dichotomous attention both to detail and to bottom-line profitability.
Bill graduated the University of Washington Computer Software Systems program with a BS. Most recently, he has worked as the technical lead on a series of multi-million dollar Nintendo DS titles at Amaze Entertainment.
