What about eBay? It's a BUYERS market!

 

On eBay virtually any imaginable item is available and, what's more, for the right price! With just a few mouse clicks each and every customer, wherever in the world, can enter what's arguably the worlds largest market place.

 

From our buyers point of view, it's a very profitable development that more and more individual and corporate sellers sign up to sell on eBay every day. The result is not only an increasing supply of available items but also, according to the law of the market, a lowering of prices. Although eBay sellers will undoubtedly disagree, eBay buyers couldn't nor shouldn't care less that with lower ending bid amounts come lower profits for sellers.

 

The most interesting products for both sellers and buyers are those in clearly defined niche categories, like (of course!)... Hybrid Cars and everything pertaining thereto! Succesful sellers and satisfied buyers operate within a niche that they are familiar with and enjoy. Many of the top eBay sellers have built their entire business around a niche that they personally enjoy, such as collectibles, hobbies, cars, sports or interests. Within such a niche both parties prosper. When supply and demand are kind of balanced, prices remain decent and realistic - with a tencency to settle slightly on the low side. In this sense eBay is a typical "buyers market"!
