We all know that peoples wallets are tight these days. With that being said this year for Christmas a lot of my friends and family members are getting gifts for people that are useful and not just buying junk. As business students we also know that commodity prices have soared in the last two years which makes the price of finished goods go up. Keeping that in mind anthing that you can give to an auction seller that can help them cut cost or improve thier business is a gift that keeps giving. So here a few ideas for christmas gifts for them that will help them with thier business.
- Antique books to help them identify antiques
- A digital camera so they can take high quality pictures of items they are selling
- A scanner
- A book with stratagies for online auctions
- Magazine Subscriptions so they can sell the magazines on ebay after they read them
- UPS Shipping labels
- Boxes and tape
- A postage scale so they can save time at the post office
- Bubble wrap
These are just a few gift ideas that someone could give to an online auction seller that could help that seller imporve thier business.

These are all great things to buy for someone who is interested in online auctions. when i first read this i thought of my moms boyfriend dave. he does online auctions and these are the typical resources he uses.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty good list for auction sellers. I sell a lot of things on Ebay and would definitely find any of these items beneficial to use.
ReplyDeleteIf you were bidding against another bidder's maximum bid, your bid had to meet the other bidder's maximum bid plus one cent to become the current high bidder on the item.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the item page will show that there are 2 bids, yet there is only one bidder. This happens when a member places more then one bid to increase his or her maximum bid amount. For example, if you are the first bidder on an item and you place a second bid to increase your maximum bid amount, the item page would show the current high bid at the opening bid amount, but would show that two bids have been placed on this item.

On the last comment, I don't know how many times I have seen my grandpa try and buy some old baseball merchandise online on ebay and see him get so confused when it says there are 4 bidders, but 25 bids. It would just confuse the heck out of him.
