Sniplit.com uses a patent pending Internet model that improves ease of use, utility, and customer satisfaction in the field of local marketplace advertising. Conventionally, sellers must use either nationwide internet selling tools such as eBay.com^TM or local selling tools such as newspaper classifieds to advertise their products for sale. However, nationwide selling tools are usually limited to lightweight, easy-to-ship items because shipping heavy or bulky items, such as a car, furniture, sports equipment, or a pet, is either prohibitively costly or impossible. Further, local classifieds usually require a potential buyer to visit the seller to visually inspect the item for sale before an offer is tendered because providing a detailed description or photographs of the item for sale is also too costly or not possible.

Sniplit.com is a one-of-a-kind solution to these problems. Using Sniplit.com, a seller can post photographs and a detailed description of an item for sale, and then designate a short, memorable, and descriptive web address that the seller can then advertise using local selling tools. For example, a seller of an antique couch may post several photos and a detailed description of the couch on her very own web page on the Sniplit.com website, and then designate her page by the domain www.sniplit.com/couch. Then, she may place a short, simple, inexpensive classified ad that allows potential buyers to make a purchase decision without first having to personally inspect the couch. The ad might read:
