Google+ About | UsedEverywhere

We’ve all heard that there are no secrets in a small community. Try as you might. There’s a reason for that – our stories are what binds us together. We share tales of grandparents and report the goings on of neighbours. We’re curious about one another and what we might be getting up to. We lend our couches to cousins who are moving out for the first time. We hand down clothes at the weekly swap meet. We help each other.

As technology advances we have new ways to share. You might “post” that photo of your husband playing “grease monkey” and ruining the car, “tweet” how your youngest is stuck on the teeter totter again or “pin” the fireplace you always wanted. Meanwhile, your friends and family are doing the same.

We focus on organic, human interaction to not just build community, but to participate in existing communities. We strive to build a site that reflects you.

The fancy term is “social commerce”, but really it’s something we’ve all been doing our whole lives. During those big life moments; when you pack up the family and move to another province for a new job, when money is tight and you need to sell your motorbike to pay your daughter’s tuition or when you’re expecting a baby and the endless amount of toys and clothes they’re going to need. We buy and sell in our own backyards, neighborhoods and communities.

Our Community Angels are always out and about in their local neighbourhoods. Visit our events page to find out where we’re popping up next!

And our advertisers…

“…since Thrifty Foods started advertising with Used Victoria, it has consistently been one of the top 10 referring sites to the Thrifty Foods website… Used Victoria has brought people “through the door” to a brand experience with Thrifty Foods – and that is the important point.”
Owner – Thrifty Foods, Victoria BC

“… thank you for being the best and most cost effective advertising we have ever had.  UsedVictoria is responsible for our most successful year, under my ownership (4 years), and possibly the most successful advertising in Pinetree Furniture history (25+ years). The service has been great and the results even better!  Thanks a million.”
Mike Porter – Owner/Operator of Pinetree Furniture, Victoria BC

And the people we’ve helped…

“I don’t have words to say how much I appreciate your dedication, speed and interest in improving my Dad’s home and getting things in order. Your ability to head hunt, place, bring in, and make happen in fabulous. You have been the first breath of fresh air we’ve had in a long time! You must know that you will be paid, rewarded and your good spirit given will be returned. Thank you very much!”
