Buystand, a Durham, N.C. e-commerce start-up, launched its public beta test of buystand.com, an online marketplace that allows consumers to buy the outdoor gear they want at the price they want to pay.
At buystand.com, consumers can browse through thousands of outdoor products, ranging from camping gear to running shoes, and make-an-offer on any of these products at the price theyre willing to pay. Buystands Edge Pricing Engine matches those offers to retailers and brands that are willing to sell at that price.
Our novel shopping experience empowers consumers to purchase products at their own unique price point, while simultaneously providing retailers with the platform they need to more dynamically and profitably move product from their shelves, said Buystand Founder and COO, Ted Kraus.
Apart from its core technology, make-an-offer shopping, Buystand features staff-curated Collections, offering consumers valuable insights into the best gear for various adventures and activities. Collections range from all the necessities you need for hiking the Appalachian Trail to the must-have items for the summer Music Festival circuit.
Were extremely excited to be opening up Buystands unique shopping experience to the public says Joe Davy, CEO. Over the past several months, weve developed a product that consumers, retailers and brands have loved using. In particular, we know that outdoor enthusiasts, like many of the individuals on the Buystand team, will enjoy saving money by naming their own price on the best gear in the industry.
Buystand already features many of the most popular brands in the outdoor industry, but they are always seeking to expand their selection. Interested brands, manufactures and retailers should contact Phil DeSimone, director of partnerships, at Phil.Desimone@Buystand.com or (919) 260-6987.
