AUSTIN, TX, PriceAdvice, the Blue Book for users looking for prices for used consumer products, will accelerate its growth efforts, thanks to additional investment secured by parent company iTaggit coupled with the addition of two new key executives.

Joining the team is Ira Williams, who has been named President and COO of PriceAdvice and Hong Bui who has been named the lead technology advisor. Mr. Bui has also joined the iTaggit Board of Directors. The additional investment round was led by G-51 Capital. These milestone events have catapulted PriceAdvice's introduction as the go-to service for accurate and reliable price valuations of used items purchased online or in stores.

G-51, which is a seed-stage venture capital firm based in Austin, Texas, led the round of funding. The company will use the funds to further expand the PriceAdvice sales and marketing team, invest in marketing and business development initiatives and support the company's working capital needs. G-51's investment underscores the market demand for trustworthy pricing information from an objective source.

"Consumers spend over $400B in used consumer products each year, and the majority of purchases are made without adequate pricing information," said Rudy Garza, Partner at G-51 "PriceAdvice has stepped out as the market innovator to address this concern, and we see an exciting business opportunity for providing objective and accurate pricing information. We are excited about and look forward to the many expansion opportunities that lie ahead."

"The foundation, business model and team behind PriceAdvice are well grounded to support this high potential, high velocity Blue Book business," continued Garza. "Hong and Ira's respective track records in particular demonstrate the quality and firepower of the executive team."

"The established success of our parent company, iTaggit, and the wealth of experience behind our team of executives makes PriceAdvice poised for fantastic results," said Ira Williams, president of iTaggit. "Now that we officially launched our first product categories and with more to come, I am enthusiastic about PriceAdvice's future and excited to be a part of the team."

PriceAdvice's recent hires come aboard with impressive backgrounds. Ira Williams brings over 20 years' experience in sales, marketing, project management and business development. He has extensive experience working with new ventures, as well as strategic partnerships and acquisitions for multiple start-up companies. Prior to working with PriceAdvice and after graduating from Harvard Business School, Ira was vice president and general manager of Callaway Golf's global e-commerce and interactive marketing operations. He also led M&A efforts at InterZine Productions and CBS Sportsline, successfully securing strategic elements that drove their respective growth plans. Ira also excelled in sales and marketing positions with Reuters America and with Dell Inc.

Veteran consumer software expert, Hong Bui, brings over two decades of experience leading and developing technology for top consumer brands such as Amazon.com, Memeo, Visto.com, JavaSoft and Apple that focus on usability and mass market acceptance.
