SAN JOSE, Calif. (BRAIN) — BicycleBlueBook.com was named eBay's 2017 Sporting Goods Seller of the Year at eBay's recent Top Seller Summit in San Jose.
BicycleBlueBook.com was recognized for its rapid growth in selling used bicycles on eBay.
"BicyleBlueBook.com has been selling on eBay for just 2 years, but in that time they have grown exponentially each year. With a focus on used bicycle trade-in, they have an inventory set that our cycling enthusiasts love. They are a great partner and we are excited to see where they can go from here," said Alyssa Steele, eBay's general manager for sporting goods.
BicycleBlueBook said its trade-in program through bike shops also has experienced explosive growth in 2017. Over 1,400 U.S. IBDs now offer the program.
"Our growth this year is directly attributed to the upswing we've seen in consumers trading their bikes in at their local IBD through our authorized trade-in program," said Steve Parke, the company's national business development manager. "Considering each trade-in we sell on eBay represents a new bike sale at the IBD level, we believe our program is redefining and reinvigorating the cycling industry."
