hm, I haven't realized ebay had this — it might be interesting to know how exactly they did it.
While I was playing with this idea, I though that these things might help reverse auction solution:
* powerful market research/alert tool for sellers — i.e. sellers would need a powerful toolset to monitor demand on an RA site.
* social networks _integration_ and stuff like that — RFQ information shouldn't be locked in a single site — it should be spread to wherever potential sellers might find it.
* "ning.com" for auctions
- zacharye 18y agoIt will be an interesting part of your process to learn that eBay's solution is in fact still live. wantitnow.ebay.com I had no idea it was still live. I think that the very existance of this site, and the fact that you've never even heard of it, can play a large (and positive) role in your development process. If you plan to attack this you have your work cut out for you. You also, however, have a great tool in Want it Now - theoretically "what not to do".
