Thanks for visiting! My name is Shannon and I'm the owner of Marketplace Middleman, LLC. I'm a mom of 4 who likes to stay busy.
Here is how this business came to be.
- Hitting Goals -
On November 29, 2024, My kids and I set a goal to make 200 fresh Christmas wreaths over a 4 week period to raise money for annual Disney passes and can you believe it, we hit our goal! I drove around to local tree stands, Lowe's/Home Depot tree lots and picked up free branches to make these wreaths by hand. People not only loved the wreaths, but they made multiple orders. I was fueled by the positive reviews by my customers. It pushed me to continue providing quality wreaths to over a hundred customers. In the process I learned that hard work, determination and doing what I love meant that it wasn't a tedious task, it was a joy! I had the privilege of bringing Christmas cheer to others with our quality wreaths.
Now that the Christmas season is over, I wanted to come up with another way to stay busy, help others and make money to provide for my family of 6. I thought about what I enjoy doing, paired that with my skillsets, and came up with Marketplace Middleman, LLC.
It's always a risk to start a business, there are upfront costs, fears/doubts to overcome and new things to learn, but just like my wreath making adventure, I know that I can't fail when I am doing what I love, serving in excellence, helping others and remain honest and ethical.
Marketplace Middleman, LLC was created because I love thrifting, yard saling and finding good deals. Once I resigned from my full time job to take care of my newborn, I needed a way to stay busy, but not spend money.
That led me to the concept of helping others make money by selling their items online. I have sold items online since the "Craigslist" days (1999). I have watched the web transform from one platform to the next, and have learned what ways are best for buying/selling online.
I would be honored if you chose my company to sell your items and know that I will represent you with the best listings, be quick and efficient, provide excellent communication and a smooth process from start to finish.
Now let's get to work!

Our First Sale!
Do you know how many treadmills are listed for sale online? A LOT! Our video, pictures, descriptions and quick responses to buyer inquiries helped us close the deal!
Even though this had rust on the outside lid and frame, the inside was clean. Being able to properly reflect the quality of an item gives our buyers assurance that our listings are upfront and honest. The buyer was happy and our client was ecstatic that we sold this item for them.
Marketplace Middleman assisted the owner in moving this furniture to their carport so the buyer could have easy access to loading it upon their arrival. It made for a quick and easy sale when the buyer arrived to purchase it.
