BUDDING ENTREPRENEURSHIP HITS HOME ON ‘MTSU ON THE RECORD’
Nontraditional Student Creates Down-Home Version of eBay and Craig’s List

(MURFREESBORO) – Justin Gilliam, co-founder of an online auction site that emphasizes Rutherford County connections, will be the guest on the next edition of “MTSU on the Record” with host Gina Logue at 8 a.m. this Sunday, July 3, on WMOT-FM (89.5).
Gilliam, a native of Decherd now living in Christiana, co-created www.borobid.com with friend Jared Shreve. It costs nothing to post an item on the site. If the item goes unpurchased, the poster owes www.borobid.com nothing. The item can be relisted automatically up to 10 times.
Recently, Gilliam added Google Checkout to PayPal for purchasing purposes. He puts his computer knowledge to work full-time in his job at Arnold Air Force Base in Tullahoma while periodically taking classes at MTSU as time allows to work toward a degree in information systems.
