LEADING FREE LOCAL ONLINE CLASSIFIEDS SITE LIVEDEAL.COM HELPS PARENTS BUY AND SELL NEW AND USED BACK-TO-SCHOOL MERCHANDISE; CUT COSTS

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 13, 2006 – Buying musical instruments or sporting goods equipment is expensive – and kids can outgrow these items quickly. Value-conscious parents are turning to LiveDeal.com, one of the nation’s leading local online classifieds sites, as the ideal place to find bargains as well as find local buyers.

According to comScore Media Metrix, LiveDeal.com is consistently one of the top 10 most visited online classifieds sites on the Web, with more than one million unique users each month. This gives parents the confidence that they’ll have a great selection of merchandise from which to browse -- from keyboards, violins and saxophones to golf clubs, elbow pads and chest protectors to soccer balls .

“LiveDeal is a great alternative for parents who want to see a broad selection of new and used musical and sporting merchandise available for sale in their local neighborhoods. And a terrific place to sell what’s already cluttering up the house from last year’s hobbies,” said Steve Chaffin, vice president of marketing for LiveDeal.

Because LiveDeal.com is searchable by zip code or city/state, it’s a great tool for connecting buyers and sellers in their local community, particularly for items like musical instruments or sporting equipment that kids and parents want to see and try before they buy.

Parents can research and preview merchandise online at LiveDeal.com and then meet the buyer in person to inspect, purchase and pick-up items. Parents can also take advantage of LiveDeal’s e-commerce capabilities and buy and sell items nationally, as well.

LiveDeal also boasts millions of buyers for anything parents have for sale, such as last year’s drum set or cross country skis that are already taking up valuable space in the garage. With LiveDeal, you can quickly post a free ad and sell that equipment without paying exorbitant shipping costs or worrying about online fraud.
