There are Lots of Auction Sites to Choose From, But Which One is Right for You?
Anyone who has used the Internet knows that a big chunk of
e-commerce comes from auction
sites. EBay is the world leader, but many other Web sites
exist, too, some filling special niches (gun auctions,
government auctions, car auctions, etc.) and some handling
general merchandise but doing it differently. And, yes, some
operate just like eBay, only with fewer listings and fewer
sellers.
Oltiby.com has a unique
spin, however, in that it uses reverse auctions. Instead of a
seller listing his item and many buyers bidding for it -- thus
raising the price -- on Oltiby.com, the BUYER lists what he's
looking for, then lets the SELLERS offer him a price.
Whichever seller offers the lowest price, that's who the buyer
does business with.
When looking at auction sites, you want one that will get you
the best merchandise for the lowest price. So using a regular
site like eBay doesn't make sense. Why use a site that is
oriented toward sellers (i.e.,
getting sellers the most money)
instead of buyers (i.e., helping sellers save money)? That's
great if you're a seller, but for buyers, a reverse auction
is more logical.
Another important factor in choosing auction sites is the fees
associated with them. Is there a charge for listing your item,
plus another one based on how much you wind up paying for it?
Oltiby.com is free for buyers to list what they're looking for,
and free for sellers to post descriptions of what they have
available. The only fee is based on the final selling price of
the item. With no other hidden fees, it's easy to see why
Oltiby.com is a smart alternative to the regular Internet
auction.
