A Free On-Line Trading Post Serving
Avery, Mitchell, Yancey and McDowell Counties in Western NC.

Bakersville, NC, June 25, 2003 – InterCom Design announced today the release and grand opening of wnc4sale.com, an online trading post and business directory serving the residents of Avery, Mitchell, Yancey and McDowell counties in western NC. Wnc4sale.com is a free service where local residents can post items for sale or view and respond to all posted ads. Local businesses can post items for sale as well as employment and business ads for a small fee of $9.95/mo.

"The entire concept of wnc4sale.com is to provide a platform from which local business can advertise online and be put in front of 100% local residents", stated Dan Bailey, president of wnc4sale.com. "Finding a place online to advertise your business or website to a local audience is next to impossible on the web. This is our first attempt at creating a website & platform that encourages local traffic and gives businesses a low cost place to advertise their products and services. If successful, we plan on marketing the same concept in different markets around western NC and then across the entire USA" stated Mr. Bailey

Wnc4sale.com is wholly owned and operated by InterCom Design, which has provided Internet and computer services to the local area since 1997 and has designed websites for over 30 local businesses, more than 10 out-of-state companies and is currently under subcontract by J&J Advertising, Inc., www.b2bvendor.com, located just outside of Las Vegas in Henderson, NV, as the e-commerce development arm for the companies they manage. J&J Advertising, Inc. specializes in business to business marketing. InterCom Design named their largest customer to be Horizon Meat & Seafood, Inc., www.horizonfoods.com, located in Long Island, NY with 25 offices coast to coast and gross national sales in excess of $200 million per year. InterCom Design specializes in E-commerce Website design, web hosting, domain registrations, Internet access and computer repair services.

"My first love has always been working with computers and my second is sales. My first experience in programming was back in high school from 1976 to 1980 when floppy discs had not yet been invented and the computers I worked with had 8K of memory. At that time, programs were stored on cassette tapes or punch cards and the Internet, or ARPAnet (Advanced Research Projects Agency) as it was known at that time, was a government project linking Stanford to 6 other colleges. UCLA was the first to receive a transmission and the system crashed after receiving only a few letters of text. Fast-forward to today and the number of US households with internet access is exceeded only by the number of households with phone service. Considering the popularity of printed trading post publications, we anticipate wnc4sale.com to be a smashing success", stated Mr. Bailey.

InterCom Design invites all local residents of Avery, Mitchell, Yancey and McDowell counties to visit www.wnc4sale.com and see for themselves what a true online trading post should be. Businesses and residents alike can contact the support staff of wnc4sale.com at (828) 688-1900 between the hours of 9:30am to 6:00pm Mon - Fri or 10:00am to 2:00pm on Sat or send email to support@wnc4sale.com.
