Futureshop: First-rate thinking on secondhand goods
Book review of "Futureshop"
Quote:...consumers are buying more things with a plan to use and resell them while they still have value instead of keeping them until they can only be trashed or donated. Though eBay and some of its Web competitors have driven that trend, it has not nearly reached its potential. EBay and most of the other auction sites are too difficult for many people to use... full article: http://www.boston.com/business/articles/...and_goods/ |

The eBay Economy
Transcript of an interview and question and answer session with the author of FutureShop

Re: Futureshop: First-rate thinking on secondhand goods
Quote:the auction culture will assume the proportions of a consumer revolution that will transform the retail marketplace I think the auction format itself has reached its peak (in the US) because the novelty is gone, but I think he could be right about the possibility of a "consumer revolution" of C2C (consumer-to-consumer) sales transforming the retail marketplace. I'll be really web 2.0 ( I can't stand that term ) and say it could be a combination of classifieds, blogs, rss feeds, and something to tie them all together (gee sounds like I'm describing something like Edgeio...but I don't think Edgeio will be the one to bring it to mass market) that does it.
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"
"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site. best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011 |
