About Post a Bargain
Post a Bargain is a virtual space meant to help the smart online shopper sift through the endless online listings to find the Great Bargains. We do this by allowing anybody to post a link and description of whatever they are selling from an online marketplace (Ebay, Craigslist, Amazon marketplace, etc). Then, the Post a Bargain community (you!) votes up the truly great bargains. Together we all simplify and bring further efficiency to online shopping. We are proudly based on Pligg whose original source was authored by
Ricardo Galli who was inspired by
digg.com.
