HAMDEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- A new pervasive website is gaining popularity throughout the country for its innovative methods in the virtual market place. MyCollegeYardSale.com offers college students an exclusive market place to buy and sell items to one another in a safe and efficient manner.

“This is a great accomplishment for college students everywhere,” said Craig Tortorella, CEO of My College Yard Sale. “This website stands out from other virtual marketplace websites since it is only for college students. It is required that you have a college email address in order to use the website.”

My College Yard Sale was developed after Tortorella noticed the dangers that come with so many virtual market places. The Quinnipiac University graduate had always been hesitant to buy and sell any items online.

“I had always heard of people getting scammed on those websites, whether it be CraigsList, or Ebay, there were always issues, you never truly knew what you were buying, or if the person you were buying from could be trusted,” Tortorella said. “Now with this website, you can buy and sell with people within your own college or university with just a click of the button, and since it’s your fellow student body, you can feel a little bit at ease.”

Tortorella says the website has been in production for about four years, and he has been strategically modifying the website in order to perfect it. Already it is establishing itself as niche for buying and selling textbooks, which typically place a large strain on a student’s budget.

Tortorella noted that this website is going to cater to college students everywhere, and give them a break from all the financial burdens that comes with gaining an education.
