Why Backpage?
Because it works. Because other people want what you have, and they might have what you want. Just spend time on the site. Take a look around your city, and see what's going on. See which neighbors are having a yard sale. Find out how much an apartment in the neighborhood you always wanted to live in is. See what people are talking about in our forums. Find a new job. Someone in Toronto is looking for a bass player for his metal band. A guy in Portland is looking to sell his Honda Civic. There's a lot going on with millions of new posts a month, all happening in a city near you. Get involved, and Backpage will quickly become one of your favorite websites.
How does it work?
Hope you'll find Backpage as easy to use as sending an email, and probably more fun. Head to the city of your choice, and find the "Post An Ad" button right up top and give it a shot. There's something in the closet you've been meaning to get rid of that you can have online in minutes, and sold within hours, and your ad is absolutely free to post (with a few exceptions). If you're looking for that extra edge on your competition, put up pictures to go along with the text. If you've looking to take your ad to the next level, Backpge have a variety of affordable options to make your ad stand out from the pack, including premium placement and posts in multiple cities. Take a minute to read the terms of use, conveniently linked all over the site to make sure you're playing by the rules, and everything should be fine.
Who are you Backpage people anyway?
Backpage is owned and operated by the Village Voice Media, from offices in Phoenix and Dallas. In either case, it's probably too hot here while you're reading this. Backpge partnerships with local newspapers, alternative newsweeklies and other media outlets in your area allow us to bring new visitors to our site (and to your ad) every day. Backpge staff works hard to make sure the site is as user-friendly as possible, fighting spam with a vengeance, and developing new features for the site. Also, Backpge are finding time to perfect the rules of the future Olympic sport of Tiny Basketball. Backpge work hard to make sure Backpage is as easy to use as possible, but if you ever have trouble, you can contact Backpge Support team, who will do their best to help.
