Yardsellr is the creation of serial Web entrepreneur Danny Leffel, who—like Harrison Metal founder Michael Dearing—is a former eBay executive.

    Smart investment by Accel. Yardsellr has been executing beautifully. Full disclosure: my son has been interning there so I have an inside and biased view!
