Digg it UP - How to Start an eBay Bidding War
In our work with growing businesses we see a recurring theme when it is time for one of the founding members to hand over the reigns of sales and/or marketing to an employee. They say to us, “This new person just isn’t getting the job done like I did. Well, I guess it’s because they don’t know the product like I do.” While it is true that the new person probably doesn’t know the product as well as one of the founders, th

CRM was supposed to bring companies closer to their clients. The basic idea was to; find out what a client wants and needs, give it to them, and get them to be your client for life.But as with all good technology, it hasn't actually brought the sales teams, marketing departments, R&D, or customer service departments any closer to the customer at all! Technology is a poor subsitute for the human voice and social inter
A bidding war is where two or more people bid furiously against one another, each desperate to own a particular item.
Phenomenal results are possible, such as last month, where a postcard by artist A. R. Quinton, depicting a cliff view at Herne Bay, fetched ?100 plus. By anyone’s standards, the card was worth about ?3 for the view and maybe a few pounds more for the artist.
I checked and found that two serious bidders, one of Herne Bay topographical postcards, the other a Quinton enthusiast, had launched a bidding war that was eventually won by the Herne Bay collector, or was the real winner the seller of this rather common-a-garden postcard?
Such events are not uncommon. My own best selling item this month, a pair of vintage cufflinks with ancient Greek Coins, for which I paid ?3 at a flea market, went for ?34, with the two final bidders being a collector of cufflinks and another of Greek coins. The Greek coin collector won.
You only need two bidders and it doesn’t matter if they’re interested in the same product or specific parts of your product or listing. The end result is always the same; more money for you.

There are many concerns which deal with a variety of packaging supplies and supply these materials in wholesale to the customers who require them for their large scale business needs. They also provide these supplies to customers who need them for their personal use, such as when they are shifting. There are many kinds of packaging supplies such as cardboard shipping boxes, jewelry boxes, shrink wrap, padded mailers and mai

Some folks use materials right out of the ground to make ceramics. A high-volume example of this is the brick manufacturer up the road. (If you don’t have clay or shale where you live, there is no brick manufacturer up the road.)Brick manufacturers usually mine clay by the open pit method. That means that they usually don’t tunnel for the clay. They carefully remove the overburden (the dirt, weeds, trees, old cars, a

Freelancing is one of the most lucrative ways to earn a living nowadays. You can do it as a side business or you can do it as your regular one. It really depends on how much you can do and how much you can earn from the assignments that you get.One thing good about freelancing is the fact that you don’t have to have any scheduled time. Unlike regular work, wherein you have to come to work at a prescribed hour and ren

How We Got Here!Not a day goes by that you don’t see one industry authority or another remarking on the ugly state the residential real estate mortgage lending industry is in. We see the reason(s) for this are the exotic loans, fraud, reckless underwriting, thinly capitalized lenders, wholesale funding sources consolidating or simply closing their doors, Congressional hearings being scheduled … it truly is a mess … a

* List a minimum two items (or themes) in one lot. The trick is to make each item valuable in its own right and appealing to more than one person. The cufflinks and postcard are good examples. I’ve seen other wars raging over two completely unrelated postcards listed together; two books bearing no relation to one another; a pack of artist illustrated playing cards where one bidder wanted the cards and the other collected all things artist related.
* List in two eBay categories to achieve maximum market penetration. You can also list in two shop categories. For the Quinton/Herne Bay postcard I’d list under ‘Artist Drawn Postcards’ and ‘Topographical’.
* Research and use commonly used keywords for your product to attract the highest audience for your item. Go to eBay Pulse pages for common keywords or use software such as Adword Analyzer to study most commonly used key words and phrases for specific subjects. Although developed largely for search engine optimisation and Google advertising campaigns and similar, products like Adword Analyzer are equally suitable for all areas of the Internet, including eBay.
* Offer free gifts and bonuses to attract interest
