FRUPER REVIEWS

Fruper! originated in early 2006 by David Orr and Joel Baker of downstate Illinois.

Initially, these partners began their online sales as BakeOrr Enterprises through various auction sites such as Ebay. Their products then included both new and used items of all types, but because of their personal interest in unique electronics, they quickly realized that such an area should be the primary focus of their merchandise purchases and sales.

In the Spring of 2006, business was booming for BakeOrr Enterprises. The partners talked and brainstormed as they worked like mad to locate, purchase, sell, ship and market their products. It didn`t take long for them to agree that an online business of their own was the next logical step, so they set out to develop a name and a concept.

Their goal was to find exceptional deals on wholesale quantities of a number of products, focusing primarily on computer technology and electronics. They hoped to be in a position to offer their product finds for sale at nominal markups in price so that their customers could buy one item at a price similar to what is common for the cost when buying a wholesale lot. It was a simple concept, and when combined with the knowledge that these young men possessed of new and interesting products, it was one that made a great deal of sense.
