Freyer's Explanation Of Ebay

Each description of an item Freyer listed for auction included either a personal story or entertaining information on why someone should purchase this item. As I was reading through these descriptions I found them written mostly in subjective manner with some objective points compared to today’s E-bay style auctions, which is mostly targeting the buyer looking for objective descriptions. Since Freyer style of descriptions were so unusual, here are three examples to demonstrate the differences to

There are a variety of different business structures that comprise the market in the world today. The most common ones found in the business world today are sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. From these you will also find monopolies and oligopolies. Economists assume there are a number of different buyers and sellers in the market which leads to competition which allows prices to change in response to changes in supply and demand.(1) In many industries you there are substitutes for products, so if one type of product becomes too expensive the consumer can choose an alternative product that is cheaper, or one of better quality.

As for Freyer, he also used a single image to imagine the shaping of his story, and he described the item as, “It is small enough to fit in a pocket, and has a Carl Ziess lens” gives it a more visual to the buyer. Both sellers were trying to reach out adventurous photographers, who love the outdoors or enjoy traveling. For example, the seller on Ebay said, “It's a great camera to pack for a hike, bring around at a party, or shoot events and portraits!” As for Freyer, he took the camera everywhere he went and said, “I have taken thousands of photographs with

The press and our customers have noticed the organizations excellent customer service.

Mainly because a pocket camera is a fairly common item to find on Ebay, for this item he uses strictly subjective descriptions for example; "This is the best camera that i have ever owned" or "It is small enough to fit in a pocket". He is using superlative adjectives and he doesn't give a comparison to support his claims. The only visual he gives, "It is small enough to fit in a pocket" is not enough to inform the reader exactly how small it is, or what size pocket he is talking about. Where as the same item under a different seller gives a strictly objective description; it provides a very detailed product description, dimensions, and color. For example; the T-4 Super's dimensions listed under a different seller are Depth 1.57in, Height 2.56in, Width 4.64in. Therefore, by giving the exact dimensions, the seller gives the potential buyer a great visual of how small the camera really is. Freyer's T-4 Super item objective description is missing, while his subjective description makes a half decent sales pitch. It seems that Freyer did not intend to list the T-4 Super for serious buyers, instead, it seems geared more towards collectors who instead of being interested in the camera's functions and attributes, are however more inclined in the sentimental value and antiquity. The second item i picked is the National Geographic magazine

On September 3, 1995, Pierre Omidyar founded eBay in San Jose, California. Pierre and his wife, Pamela Wesley, had a vision that included creating a marketplace online where people could share the same interests. This vision also included a format that could create a fair and open meeting ground where prices were determined purely by the market. The site was based on five main values: people are basically good; everyone has something to contribute; an honest, open environment can bring out the best in people; everyone deserves recognition and respect as a unique individual; and you should treat others the way you wanted to be treated.

Investment sales can sell themselves in the sense that there are investors willing to pay a certain price for a property based upon an economic return they deem appropriate for that asset.

Buyers are the other side of the e-commerce diagram. Chaffer (2009) emphasized on factor such as value proposition of the consumer in the success e-commerce. Buyers are the other part of the successful creative arts marketplace. The buyers can be a picky group when looking at performing arts or creative arts products. There is little standardization available to guide the entrepreneur to select the products that the buyer would like. There is a marketing power with creative arts site that give opportunity to be able to cross-market to gain customers who are interested in the arts as expressed in other sites. Most creative products are unique to the producers, so offering substitutes is not an option.
