Auction Bytes:

FoundValue is a new eBay consignment service with 10 full-time employees and 80 sellers (”specialists”) in 24 states. But unlike other eBay consignment chains, FoundValue has one characteristic that makes them stand out from the crowd: they do housecalls, so brick & mortar stores are not required.

Stella Kleiman founded the San Francisco-based FoundValue. “When I started my own business, I realized that people wanted to use my services because they didn’t want to deal with the hassle of selling on eBay,” said Stella in an email to AuctionBytes. “I also learned that they viewed going through their own things, choosing what to sell and then dropping their stuff off somewhere was also part of the hassle equation. When I offered to come over and help them sift through their things and let them know what sells, they were much more interested in my service.”
