Joinerystock - advertise your excess stock

I received an email from Tim Richardson, the director of a new online service called Joinerystock. The site has been set-up as a resource for businesses to advertise and sell any unwanted stock that they may have lying around.

The site is very new, (only 5 weeks old), so to get things going, there is no charge to place your ads... for the time being at least. So now is the perfect time to give this new site a test drive.

Here is what Tim had to say:

This website has been designed for Kitchen manufacturers, Cabinetmakers, Shopfitters and Stonemasons to be able to advertise their excess or unwanted stock. I have found your DIY resource site and thought you may want to ad a link to Joinerystock so DIY people can look for bargains and small quantities of MDF, particle board, stone, glass etc. Joinerystock is only 5 weeks old and already has members in NSW, QLD, VIC, SA, WA.

I'd be interested to hear any feedback on this new service.

ShopWiki - Find and Compare Products

When it is time to find the latest product on your list of things to buy, it can be tedious using doing a web search and sorting through all the links and deciding which ones are the most relevant.

So why not try the ShopWiki site to make your shopping life a little bit easier.

ShopWiki actively crawls through more than 200,000 online stores finding the products you are looking for at the best prices available. The site also has the ability for you to be quite specific in your searches. Just add all the details, e.g. product name, color, price range etc. and let ShopWiki do the hard work for you.

Here are links to a few searches I have tried. Power Tools, Building Products, and Hand Tools.
