It’s been just a few days, but they have been exhilarating. We have received a barrage of comments with the usual mix of flattering compliments and constructive criticism. In particular, it seems people want to know more about what’s going on behind the scenes. So allow us to get a bit more candid and follow us, if you will, into the dressing room.
As you may have guessed, a lot of deals have only been featured with 1 unit. On the plus side, we are able to sell off everything this way, but then it’s hardly getting us the volume we need. So now, we are taking it up a notch and putting up more units in each deal — which means the discounts are likely to get much juicier. Isn’t that what you all have been waiting for? Meanwhile, we’re getting a lot of attention from gamers who are scoring deals on the site and then selling them right back on eBay. Not a bad business model, eh — buy where the price drops, and sell where it rises. Of course, this free ride can only go on while our traffic is on the low side and the deals are not being as hotly contested. And you can bet that the traffic will be inching up steadily because nobody likes to miss a bargain, especially during the Christmas shopping season.
