Elizabeth Mays, Wilmington Island resident and owner of Snappy Auctions of Savannah, has been selling on eBay for over 4 years. Running an eBay business out of her home since 2000, Mays noticed an untapped market for people who have things they want to sell, but just don't have the time, effort, technology, or desire to do it. Snappy Auctions offered a complete franchise solution for a storefront-based eBay drop-off center. Customers can take their items to sell at the Wilmington Island store and the Snappy Auctions staff will take care of the rest. "Snappy Auctions is for busy people who have things to sell, and want someone to handle all the details of selling on eBay," said Mays. "Everyone has things that they say they should sell on eBay, but they never get around to it. There are over 45,000 categories of items to list on eBay, so now everyone has a way to turn their unwanted items into cash." The staff at Snappy Auctions digitally photographs individual items to sell online, creates listings on eBay, manages the live auctions, generates invoices, collects payments and ships items to the buyer. After the sale, Snappy Auctions sends a check to the original owner minus a commission. "Snappy Auctions provides an alternative to estate sales or waking up on a Saturday to have a garage sale. Items sold through Snappy Auctions are exposed to millions of people worldwide, increasing the market and potential sale price," Mays commented. Snappy Auctions will sell items with an expected value of $50.00 or greater. Items include sporting goods, apparel, jewelry, electronics, computers, camera equipment, music equipment, antiques, collectibles, and more. Snappy Auctions will conduct a valuation and selling strategy for every item, so customers can have an idea of what their items may sell for.

Snappy Auctions is currently in New Jersey, Georgia, and Tennessee with plans to sign 39 additional locations Q3 2004 in the East and Midwest.
