A Tribute to Simon Pozner, of Blessed Memory
Elijah Pozner, a physicist, would often require various pieces of expensive equipment to conduct his experiments. After he’d complete a particular analysis, the apparatus became of no use to him, and simply took up space in his office.
His brother, Simon, a mathematician, noted this phenomenon and realized that he could help people, like his brother Elijah, reach interested buyers of perfectly good technical equipment – if he’d just be able to post those products somewhere online!
He decided to teach himself computer programming, and with the goal of creating a unique platform designed & dedicated specifically for promoting the sales of technical equipment, Used-Line was born!
In 1999, S. Pozner Technologies, the officially registered name of Used-Line.Com, launched what would become the global online marketplace for new and used technical equipment.
Already by the year 2008, Used-Line.Com received over 100,000 hits a month!
Simon used his genius to develop some of the most advanced and used-friendly tools available online today for the promotion, classification, and searchability of new and used technical equipment.
Some of his most impressive innovations are Used-Line’s:
- Robot (spider),
- Advanced & detailed search engine capabilities
- User-friendly platform for connecting buyers to sellers
To our great dismay, Simon passed away in 2012 leaving his wife, Esther, to assume the position of CEO at Used-Line.
By no means was Esther prepared to let Used-Line rest on its laurels! She went ahead and hired top programmers and developers to take over and continue making Used-Line better, and better, and better!
Indeed, just in 2018 alone, Used-Line developed a number of new & exciting features (make sure you read our newsletters & updates!), and revamped our site to provide an even more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing experience! So 2019 is a significant year for Used-Line, as it marks its 20- year anniversary. We look forward to sharing more of our experience with you, and helping you sell and buy your equipment quickly and easily!
