Independent surveys of online sellers rate Bonanza over other marketplaces, year after year.

What does "Everything but the Ordinary" mean?

Bonanza’s slogan relates to both the products for sale on our site and the business model our company was founded upon. As a marketplace with over 22 million items for sale and no specific niche, we have countless items for sale that are everything but the ordinary.

On a deeper level, Bonanza was created to be a place where online buyers and sellers could connect in a way that was friendlier, more social, and would be a great experience for everybody involved in each transaction. When Bonanza was founded in 2008, many other marketplaces were challenging and didn't appear to respect their merchants as "key customers" to be valued as highly as shoppers. Fees were high, tools were difficult to use, and policies changed frequently without warning or the consent of customers. Our entire site has been built around putting success in the hands of our merchants, by creating tools to benefit their business and help it thrive. We love to showcase individual sellers, giving them visibility to buyers that allows them to build a personal connection with their buyers and turn them into repeat customers.
