eBay Madness

No, this isn’t a blatant attempt to drive traffic towards my eBay auction, but it is an interesting experiment.

Two weeks ago, I put these speakers up for auction. They’re a really nice, used pair of Bose 901s, and they sold for about $583, which I consider to be a low figure, but, hey, you get what ya get. Except in this case where the guy who bought them welshed out because he didn’t understand what he was buying.

So, this time I put them back, same pictures, virtually the same ad copy, but I added a couple “listing upgrades” and WOW, what a difference. I’m seeing 3 times the daily traffic on the auction. Who knew? I guess the eBay pros did.

If you’re interested (before July 30, that is) you can see the auction here: Bose 901 Speakers
