GunPal, GeoVario announce GP Auctions – Affiliate auction site.

PALO ALTO––(PRWEB, CGNN)––January 18, 2008 –– Popular CDN & webhosting company GeoVario, and GunPal, have teamed up to bring you GP Auctions.

“GP Auctions is a revolutionary approach to the auction model. With our system, existing website owners will directly profit from a push-button integration of a worldwide database of items.” Says Ben Cannon, CEO.

GP Auctions uses a unique patent-pending model in which registered affiliates drive traffic to a central database of auctions. Auctions started or concluded by affiliate website users directly generate revenue for that affiliate based upon the final value of the auction.

“This is like being able to shop at – and support - your favorite mom & pop shop – but with the prices of Wal-Mart and the selection of Home Depot, Lowes and ACE Hardware combined” says Cannon.

GP Auctions will go live in beta form during February 2009 with selected affiliate sites, including Calguns.net and TheHighRoad.us. After the beta period, membership will be open to all sites.

“Our team is in the unique and enviable position of having the capitol, experience, and trust of the community to make this revolutionary.” Says Cannon.

Launched in 1994, GeoVario has become the leader in the specialized market of highly available application hosting, and content delivery.

GunPal, headquartered in Palo Alto, CA, was created by Ben Cannon in 2008 to serve the financial and transactional needs of the firearms community.

I sure wouldn't want to be an investor, this has EPIC FAIL written all over it

“GP Auctions is a revolutionary approach to the auction model. With our system, existing website owners will directly profit from a push-button integration of a worldwide database of items.” Says Ben Cannon, CEO

translation: We'll charge vendors out the nose for what their existing web presence provides all while maintaining a presence as a serious nobody in the already obscure world of Online Firearm auction sites.
 
there is no such thing as a free lunch if the charge is applied to the buyer it reflects in final price and the vendor will need to lower the expectation on his end a bit. the market price will bear only so much and someone always pays
 
It would probably be for the best to be sure folks understand you are the Ben Cannon in the announcement. I'm not sure your sig alone will give them that.
