Posted on | August 4, 2011 | No Comments

Philadelphia, PA – August 4, 2011 – Ghostrade™ Corporation, a recently-formed social “eCommerce technology” network company, announced today that mixed martial arts (MMA) legendFrank Shamrock has joined the Ghostrade™ team. Through this partnership, Shamrock will hold the titles of Global Brand Spokesman and VP of Marketing at Ghostrade™. Shamrock will help launch the organization’s new social commerce network portal, Ghostrade.com, into critical markets. The revolutionary technology-based portal enables consumers and companies all over the world to donate and recycle technology items such as unused cell phones, gaming units and computers.

“The Ghostrade™ team is honored to have MMA legend, sports commentator, and entrepreneurFrank Shamrock on board as a key member of the team,” stated Ghostrade™ President Ty Howard.“Shamrock is a spirited individual that successfully overcame many obstacles to experience successes in life, and we are thrilled that he will be endorsing Ghostrade™. We believe that Frank’s passion, brand, and commitment to making a difference in the world will be instrumental in elevating the Ghostrade™ brand both nationally and internationally.”

The Ghostrade™ business model enables for-profit and non-profit organizations, as well as consumers, to upload, track, manage, donate, sell, and secure technology on-line through the “Ghostrade™” portal. The new portal connects consumers with Ghostrade™ users based on their technology needs and then allows them to purchase their desired tech products at deep discounts via a “pre-owned” tech market.

According to MMA Legend Frank Shamrock, “I am extremely excited to be a part of the Ghostrade™team. Their business model immediately resonated with me. It will not only positively impact everyone involved on a financial level, it will also eliminate a great deal of “technology” waste. Functioning technology that would otherwise be stuffed in a drawer or gathering dust in a closet will instead be put to good use. The company’s roadmap to success is very promising. I can’t wait to see Ghostrade™ come to life!”

Below is a real-life scenario that explains how the Ghostrade™ site works:

A young student on a limited budget would like to purchase a smart phone. Upon looking online, the student finds that the phone he desires costs nearly $600. He knows that he can’t afford to pay that much, but before throwing in the towel, he logs onto www.Ghostrade.com and searches the community vaults. He performs a search based on the model that he desires, and is able to pull up several phones available in his area by zip code. Unlike other sites, there is no auction, and withGhostrade™ there is just one market price. To his surprise, he also finds that the phone he desires can be purchased for a fraction of the retail cost (under $100!)

The Ghostrade™ team is very different than the typical young twenty-something tech start-up company. This unique group consists of professionals from various walks of life: a professor, a Marine, a musician, and several professional athletes and entertainers. According to Howard, “In short, our team consists of successful individuals that know what it takes to excel in various industries. This bodes well for a company looking to make its mark in a very fast-moving and competitive landscape. We can’t wait to introduce Ghostrade™ to the world and to start making a positive impact in the technology industry.”
