Hi all,
I've been thinking about a start up idea and was hoping to get a little feedback. I was thinking of building an e-commerce site where retailers could list their clearance items for sale (think pure B2C eBay).
I got the idea after see what has happened to DSE over the last few months. They had way too much stock. Most retails hold excess stock too (maybe not to the levels of DSE!). Often they'll heavily discount items but good deals can be a bit hard to find. I thought bringing them all together in the one place would make things move quicker.. and also help you guys pick up awesome bargains! :D
Anyone have any thoughts?
this is a interesting idea. but you would have to answer the following, why would they not just use ebay ?
how much would it cost them to sell a item they are already willing to sell at a loss ?
why the current system does not work ? i rarely find any good clearance items that are in stock.
when it is bulk excess stock dont they just sell it to company's like greys online ?
dont get me wrong , i like your idea and it would be super convenient for many people , but i dont see the appeal as a retailer.
on the upside if you do start it up ebay might buy you out if you have any success.
