We are Sold.
Through smart pricing analytics, a refined user experience, and genuine customer service, we make selling easy. So easy that we do it for you. We do the dirty work. You reap the benefits.
Say you have a used laptop, or some designer shades you can't bring yourself to wear, but you have way better things to do than sell them online. So they just collect dust. Well, we are the solution. While you go on about your life, we'll do the selling for you. When our work is done, you get paid.
Our Team
Our team is defined by its eclectic mix of backgrounds, which creates fresh perspectives and drives our ability to attack problems in a new way. From the MIT Media Lab, Microsoft, global design firms, physics labs, and world class advertising agencies, this unconventional collision of different schools of thought has created something unique.

Matthew Blackshaw
A New Zealand born swimmer, sailor, and natural product manager. After studying computer science, economics and art at Yale he worked for a couple of years as a PM at Microsoft. In his short stint there, he contributed to the UX for Windows 7 (Aero Snap) and 8. Wanting a break from all things corporate, he left Microsoft to study experimental HCI at the MIT Media Lab before co-founding Sold.

Anthony DeVincenzi
He began his career as an interactive designer at a top design firm in Seattle. But his thirst for greater challenges led him to furthering his role as a designer-technologist hybrid by receiving a master’s degree at the MIT Media Lab. He’s dabbled in installation artwork, HCI research, and global efforts like the crowd sourced mapping of radiation. His eclectic background gives him the title of ‘Mr. Many Hats’. Not really. But he’s good at a lot of different things.
David Lakatos
David Lakatos
A strong fellow from Hungary, he received a degree in EE and Nanosciences at Budapest University of Technology. After building parts of a quantum computer from carbon nanotubes and starting a FabLab in Budapest he found his way to the MIT Media Lab to earn a master’s degree working on gesture controlled HCI projects. His brainpower may only be outmatched by his horsepower, which is regularly demonstrated playing water polo.

After graduating from Northwestern, this man led the charge to reduce the boot time and increase battery life of Windows machines worldwide. He’s had a taste of the fast life as a high speed trading network performance engineer. When not leading our engineering efforts, he’s off playing soccer or ice hockey. Even more likely, he’s off enjoying his 4th lunch.

With a background as a creative at world-class ad agencies launching campaigns for Nike, Activision and K-Swiss, this guy may seem like a fish-out-of-water at a tech startup, but he’s not. His fresh point of view drives the team to push the boundaries of what can be done. Plus, sometimes he makes us laugh.

Angie may have been to 3 colleges and had 1,000 different jobs, but we know she was just gaining all the skills necessary to come work her butt off at Sold. Plus, she runs a cat website, bakes the office cookies, and has the biggest hair in the office. Need we say more?
