Used.ca Offers an Original Mother’s Day Gift: A Clean, Clutter-Free Basement or Garage

Victoria, BC – May 8, 2012

Used.ca has an idea for husbands who want to impress their wives even if they are on a tight budget. Mother’s Day is a great occasion to think about Mom’s wants and needs and one common wish is that their homes are not filled with old stuff that takes up space and no one uses.

Online classified sites are a perfect venue to help get this done and all of the Used.ca sites across Canada include a ‘Free’ section where you can giveaway stuff that you think has little or no chance of selling. Your local Used.ca city site in your hometown is also a great spot to make a little extra money so you can not only impress Mom with a de-cluttered home but also make some money to buy her an extra special and slightly more expensive than usual Mother’s Day gift.

“Our online classified sites serve as a great tool to help Canadians de-clutter their lives by selling things that haven’t been used in years and at the same time may be exactly what another family is looking for,” says Erin Richards, Used.ca Marketing Coordinator. “It’s not only a great way to make room in a garage or basement but it’s also a win-win for someone in your community who needs your old item. Buying off of our sites also decreases the amount of items that end up in the landfills.”

Kids can also chip in by helping to choose which items they have outgrown, helping to assemble things for sale and taking digital pictures of the items to post on the site. This makes it a gift to Mom from the whole family.

The Used.ca family of sites established in 2003, is Canada’s biggest Canadian owned online classified network. There are local city sites in the UsedEverywhere network across the country including UsedOttawa, UsedWinnipeg, UsedRegina, UsedVictoria, UsedCalgary and more.
