Radical Buy Expands Outside Facebook
Published by Rodney Rumford April 4th, 2008 in Facebook, Facebook Applications.We reviewed the Radical Buy Facebook Application a few months back and really like the social auction/selling app. But they are growing fast and have expanded their business beyond far beyond facebook. I like this because it shows that many brands start on social networks and then expand outward. I think they put a very compelling twist on the ebay selling model.
To this day I think the Radical Buy application on facebook is one of the most sophisticated application online. It also serves a very practical purpose. helping people sell their unwanted stuff and make a few bucks along the way. The one radical concept worth mentioning again here is that users can make a “commission” by selling other peoples stuff simply by listing it on their profile page.
New features they have added since we last reviewed the Radical Buy application:
Instant payment
A widget for bloggers
Bulk upload tool
Shipping API
Make an offer (similar to buy now)
Start and end times for item sales
Featured Items
In your Area
RSS feeds for updates
New desination website
Widget- I Love It! See example below

I couldn’t agree more. It’s almost like having a garage sale without all the weirdos showing up at your door before sunrise. Love Radical Buy!
Hmm…sounds interesting. I’ll give it a try, might as well try to make money with facebook for all the time I waste on there.
