BarterQuest “Trade with Us” Promotion Completed

March 10th, 2009

NEW YORK, March 10, 2009 – BarterQuest (www.barterquest.com), a platform that supports the cashless exchange of goods, services and the use of real estate, today announced their special “Trade with Us” promotion has been successfully completed.

During the promotion, users were encouraged to barter directly with BarterQuest’s official trading icon Puzzleman for a brand new Nintendo Wii, iPod Touch, and Prada handbag. In exchange for the Nintendo Wii, BarterQuest received a set of limited edition, hand forged, swords as used in the movie “Kill Bill: Vol.2” and signed by actor David Carradine (Bill). The iPod touch and Prada handbag were traded for a diamond necklace and a limited edition volume of the sci-fi classic “The Fixer” signed by author Jon F. Merz, respectively.

BarterQuest’s trading partners said the following about their barter experience:

• “2 thumbs WAY up! A pleasant experience. iPod Touch arrived 5 days from winning it. Shipped Fed-Ex from China directly from APPLE. Brand new, personally engraved and fabulous! My son will love it. We cannot thank you enough.”

• “Thank you. Wii love it. :) I appreciate this trade more than you can ever know. I feel very lucky for once!”

• “Prada purse is exactly what I wanted, an A+++++++++Trade with Puzzleman!”

“We would like to thank all users who participated in our launch promotion and congratulate our bartering partners for their successful trades,” stated Bianca Han, Executive Vice President of BarterQuest. “Now in our third month of operation, we are finding that by supporting all types of goods, services and the use of real estate the variety of posts is limited only by the imagination of our users. For example, members are currently offering 3-D animation, accounting services and a golf cart. We are continually impressed by the range of items posted and encourage users all over the world to keep trading.”

The three winning traders were from Kansas, Missouri and Nevada. These trades reflect the geographical diversity and quality of goods that are available for trade on BarterQuest. Please log on now and become a member of the premier bartering platform, BarterQuest.
