Kashless Gets Star Power

Eric Hal Schwartz7/27/09

Kashless.org, a free online goods market, has launched its first celebrity donation program, according to a press release today. Seattle-based Kashless is working with Dave Dederer, the former singer and guitarist for The Presidents of the United States of America, for this first program. Dederer is donating a guitar and a set of skis, and users of Kashless will be able to write why they think they should get the items for free. Having a celebrity donate to the site should raise awareness about the environmental good Kashless CEO Martin Tobias hopes the site can do, especially during a time when many people are looking for alternative ways to get rid of (or acquire) goods.
