EBay Auction of Angel-Funded Startup (Recap)

• aditya 17y ago
  Interesting strategy. I wonder if eBay could be used to generate leads of other sorts... perhaps customers for your startup as well?

  Exactly what kinds of buyers are they trying to attract by listing on Ebay? Sure, the price is right, but their choice of sales vehicle doesn't make me take their business seriously.

    It feels like a stunt: create the ebay listing, then have something unusual to blog about, with the hope that the blog post generates attention. The buyers (if there are any) heard about it through blog aggregators or social news sites like this one.

    The price is right? I'd love to see your working for that calculation.
    • Mark_B 17y ago
      To clarify - the price of selling on Ebay seems right.

  I am not the seller, but I am privy to some of the companies who have asked for additional material, and I like you was surprised to find that more than a few were major corporations, including a few from overseas.
