Today our anti-spam software was put to the test in a real life scenario. Our records show that a spammer was attempting to spam Sell 5 members for 71 minutes. Our system intercepted all of these emails so none of them ever reached their target. We are pleased to report that another potential scam artist was detoured for 71 minutes while attempting to scam Americans out of our hard earned money. This is 71 minutes of emails that he could've been sending out to other members on other online classifieds sites. Here at Sell 5 we try our hardest to do our part to help minimize potential scams and unwanted spam. Thank you to everyone that has used Sell 5.

Sell 5 selects a vehicle to be our official Sell5.com car. It is the hottest craze in mobile marketing right now and we didn't want to be left out of this fun way to market our site. We see many PT Cruisers and Scion xBs wrapped in logos but we wanted something that would stand out a little bit above the rest. We decided to go with something a little more catchy and luxurious. The car we chose was the Lexus IS 300. It is the perfect mix of luxury and sportiness at an affordable price. Look for us cruising the streets of Arizona and don't forget to wave hello as you see us drive by. |

We are pleased to report that the advertising campaign that we launched on February 1st is giving back great results. In the month of February, we had 317 new members sign up and 764 local Arizona ads placed. That is an average of 27 local ads placed each day! This may not seem like a lot to some people, but if you compare it to other average sized Arizona sites, these are legit ads. Some other sites have a lot of spam or useless ads. We work very hard to make sure all ads placed are legit and relevant to Arizona. We would like to welcome all of our newest members and also thank everyone for their continued support. |

Sell5.com launches an agressive marketing campaign with CBS 5 (kpho.com) and channel 3's websites (azfamily.com). Even though we have launched our aggressive marketing campaign, we still want everyone to remember the power that "word of mouth" has. We have received tremendous amounts of new members signing up just because they heard how great Sell 5 is from a friend. This is what makes the whole difference. It is people that make sell 5 great, not money spent on advertising. Thank you to everyone who has supported Sell 5.
