This is Trent Fehr of Ottawa. He just won a $100 Future Shop gift certificate for sharing his experience of buying an upgraded ad.

Upgrading your ad dramatically increases the exposure and the amount of views your item gets. Depending on the type of upgrade you purchase, your ad can receive anywhere from 3 – 112 more views than a basic free ad. Essentially this means that when you purchase an upgrade your item sells faster.

No one knows this better then our users, which is why we put on the contest. Congratulations Trent!
