For Alaskans, by Alaskans: A new marketplace to buy and sell - Juneau Empire

It's a website born out of necessity. Alaska's Marketplace was built by Alaskans who were frustrated with the current options for buying, selling and trading goods in the north, and decided to make something better. No more expired ads ranking high on searches, no more national or international sites that don't understand how Alaska works, no more posting your ad in six separate places just to ensure it gets seen.

Start searching Alaska's Marketplace today! The more locals who use it, the better it will become.

4 great features of Alaska's Marketplace

  • State-wide, with universal access. Reach everyone in Alaska from one platform. No need to sign up for social media accounts or contact dozens of small town advertisers to reach buyers and sellers from coast to coast to coast. Alaskans deserve a professional place to conduct business where they don't run the risk of being harassed or traumatized, and Alaska's Marketplace is the place!
  • For locals, by locals. National and international corporations don't often understand the way things work up here, and getting support can be a pain. When your wood stove is sold you want to be able to remove the ad quickly so you stop receiving calls — and you don't want to have to work through layers of 'customer service' to get it done. Alaska's Marketplace is easy to search, and organized for the way we live.
  • Up-to-date business directory. Have you ever tried to look for a plumber or accountant online? It takes a lot of scrolling to find local results, and it's difficult to tell if they're up-to-date and reliable. Alaska's Marketplace has a Business Directory as well as a classifieds section, and will soon become your go-to source for everything from shipping services to computer repair to fresh salmon. Own your own business? Joining the directory is simple and affordable — just $4.99 for the first year if you sign up before Dec. 26, 2021. Looking for a service? You can search by category, or browse the map.
  • Free classifieds. It's free to register and free to post classifieds on Alaska's Marketplace, and you don't have to join social media to get connected. There are featured ad options for a fee, which give your ad better visibility and help pay Alaska's Marketplace's operation expenses, but there will always be a free classified option.
