SEATTLE – August 22, 2006 – Mpire, Inc., the online shopping service that gets consumers the right product at the right price from the world’s most popular online shopping sites, today announced Pigskin Bonanza, an online pricing guide for football fans. Pigskin Bonanza, like all Mpire pricing guides, is updated daily and provides online shoppers with detailed analytics on the most popular NFL gear from jerseys to signed footballs so that fans can make smart purchasing decisions.
Consumers can browse their favorite team gear, view the historical worth of football memorabilia and place bids to purchase items, while having the confidence that they are getting a fair price. Mpire aggregates items from eBay.com, Amazon.com, Yahoo Shopping, Craigslist and Overstock.com providing access to more than 30 million products.
“Mpire’s stellar analytics let consumers view the most popular searches and the average selling price of items such as a Peyton Manning jersey,” said Matt Hulett, chairman and CEO of Mpire. “As a Seattle-based company, we’re excited to see if Seahawks’ gear can outsell Steelers’ gear.”
Pigskin Bonanza allows fans to get involved and speak their mind. One section of the site solicits feedback from visitors on their predictions for the outcome of Superbowl XLI in Florida. Fans are already raising a ruckus.
“With pre-season games underway, NFL fans are gearing up for Sundays now,” said Greg Harrison, co-founder and CTO with Mpire. “Pigskin Bonanza makes it easy to navigate the broad selection of items and ensures fans can find just what they want.”
