iOffer was a San Francisco-based online trading community that was launched on May 1, 2002 by Steven Nerayoff. As of February 2008, it claimed to have nearly one million total users, including approximately 75,000 sellers, although this information cannot be independently verified, nor is it known how many of these users are active. iOffer deviated from the online auction business model and instead adopted the "negotiated commerce model", characteristic of garage sales and flea markets, operating on the basis of negotiation between buyers and sellers rather than bidding. When a negotiation concluded successfully (i.e. a transaction occurs), iOffer charged a "final value fee" based on a sliding scale. The website advertised this distinction, claiming: "This is not an auction. It's better!" More information...
