Internet-based auction site goes public

With South Africa being a sport-focused nation, SportAuction.co.za will help sport enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers and professional athletes with finding and selling equipment easier and faster on the Internet. "The main objective for SportAuction.co.za is to become a site that will offer good, affordable sport and outdoor equipment to individuals in South Africa. We also want this to be a platform for sport legends to sell their memorabilia to sport enthusiasts through an easy-to-navigate, hassle-free auction site," said Stan Giani, founder of Sport Auction.

Aware of how expensive sporting and outdoor equipment can be, the site offers opportunities to find bargains and items at a lower cost. "In this economic climate, SportAuction.co.za serves as a means of generating money for individuals. For example, a cricket bat or javelin that has been outgrown and is now lying around in someone's home can be sold on SportAuction.co.za. It will help that individual generate money through the auction and even enable them to upgrade equipment," said Yolandi Luyt, co-founder of Sport Action.
