PrintNation.com Features the Largest Online Auction
of Printing Equipment
IRVINE, CA -- March 21, 2000: PrintNation.com, the world's leading business-to-business e-commerce site for the commercial printing industry, now features the industry's most unique and exciting way to buy and sell printing equipment: PrintNation.com's online auctions. With over $575 million of used, refurbished, demo, and surplus printing equipment, PrintNation.com now offers the largest online auction of commercial printing equipment. Within the last three months, the site -www.printnation.com/auction -- has grown in size from less than one percent to 15 percent of the U.S. market for used printing equipment.
Both buyers and sellers are finding PrintNation.com equipment auctions easy to use and extremely beneficial. Buyers can purchase needed equipment efficiently at discounted prices, while sellers can quickly advertise their for-sale equipment to a broad audience of potential purchasers. These benefits are driving an adoption rate that is doubling each month as commercial printers embrace the PrintNation.com auction site as a highly effective way of doing business.
"PrintNation.com is gaining critical mass by offering a revenue-boosting tool to today's small- and mid-sized printers. In fact, our auction site is already the market choice for used printing equipment auctions," said Tony Seba, PrintNation.com's CEO. "Print shops can use our auctions to make additional money by selling their unused equipment or find exceptional deals on equipment they need to increase company revenues."
"PrintNation.com connected me with a buyer for an HP plotter, which I had left over from my catalog business," noted Dick Carville of PrePress Solutions.
"PrintNation.com made the transaction easy by not only locating the buyer but arranging the shipping details. It was a win-win situation. I made money on equipment I no longer required, and the buyer received a bargain on a high-end printer."
PrintNation.com is the leading business-to-business destination site for the $104 billion commercial printing industry, the 4th largest US manufacturing industry. The company meets commercial printers' day-to-day business needs by offering the world's broadest array of printing supplies, equipment, professional resources, and services at its one-stop e-commerce site - www.printnation.com.
