For centuries auctions have traditionally been used around the world to efficiently convert goods to cash. In Chinese, the word for AUCTION consists of two characters, one meaning "SLAP" and the other meaning "SALE". We think the name SLAPSALE captures the excitement and spontaneity that characterize auction sales while being fun to say and easy to remember!
