Industry: Consumer Services

Press Release Summary: In the past month, 1000 Americans have started outsourcing
the chores they hate to do most by using underbidding. By auctioning off chores they
were able to find the cheapest person in their area to do what they did not want to
or could not do without pushing the credit limit.

Press Release Body: No matter if they wanted someone to do their laundry or
cleaning, had construction projects in their homes or gardens or just needed to get
an electronic device set up, auctioning these tasks off made outsourcing affordable
and them feel like a VIP with people taking care of them.

It works thanks to a new website, undertool.com. It works like Ebay for chores, but
backwards. The Clients post a task, free of charge, with the highest amount they are
ready to pay, and the contractors underbid this price. The cheapest contractor wins
the bidding and does the charge.

The concept of underbidding was invented in Germany in 2003 and has been very
successful there. In order to warrant high quality, it is possible to accept only
licensed contractors. The website also got several certificates for their high
standards from German consumer report organizations.

US-Manager Alexander Kirsch-Clayton explains why the website will be successful in
the USA:

"Undertool.com is the first auction portal worldwide for contracts with trade- as
well as with service companies. Contrary to Ebay, though, less is more here. I am
thrilled to bring this concept to the United States. It has been very successful in
Germany and I believe that in these economically challenging times it can also help
Americans to get things done while saving money at the same time".


Undertool.com was founded in Germany in 2003 by Thomas Groschalwski and was the
first website worldwide to offer underbidding for the trade and the service sector.
Since 2007 it belongs to FETT Ltd. It has 53 000 registered users and keeps growing.
The American website was launched on March 6, 2008. The most popular category is
construction.
