Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at AIM Group, though we couldn’t say it any better than the folks at Ranger Data Technologies’ Boocoo Auctions, who are also having a Facebook “Like” contest for $100.

Boocoo turns one, adds features

Published June 9, 2011

Ranger Data Technologies’ Boocoo Auctions, the auction marketplace portal for nearly 300 publishers and broadcasters, is celebrating its first birthday. To commemorate the event all sales are free during the month of June. Boocoo now has 85,000 items for sale, and 21,000 registered users throughout the US.

Two features were just added to the auction marketplace this week:

Social sharing – This isn’t just about Facebook and Twitter either. Sellers can share their posts via more than 300 different sites and tools.
YouTube video capability – Now sellers can add a YouTube video to a listing for things such as sample videos, demos and product reviews. Boocoo allows the seller to publish the URL for the video and a title or note.

Boocoo auctions for newspapers, look out EBay

Published June 24, 2010

We first announced the launch by Ranger Data Technologies of its new Boocoo auction platform for newspapers and broadcasters back in March, and reviewed its private beta on the Boston Herald site June 14. But now it’s official – Boocoo is taking on EBay via about 300 U.S. newspapers so far.

Commitments we know of include Chicago’s Sun Times Media Group, the Herald-Standard in Uniontown, PA, the Times Leader in Wilkes Barre, PA, The Daily Sentinel in Grand Junction, Colo., and some Paxton Media and Stephens Media properties.

According to MyWebTimes.com, Chicago consumers will soon be able to bid on service providers via Sun Times properties.

“The service providers (painters, carpenters, landscapers, etc.) will be able to respond to projects and/or proposals from local consumers and businesses that have placed a “request for quote” on Boocoo for the service they need,” said The Times Company site.

Here’s the Ranger Data announcement.
