Here is an interesting development on CNET ...
Hi, I'm Halsey Minor, founder and CEO of CNET. As you've probably
noticed over the past few months, auction services have been
springing up all over the Internet. Almost all of them try to
offer users everything from Furbys to French horns.
Today CNET launched a different kind of auction site:
CNET Auctions (http://auctions.cnet.com). What we offer is an
auction service focused 100 percent on computer and technology
products--from the really useful to the completely geeky. And
because we are so focused on just one area, we can do a whole
bunch of neat things that make the process of buying and selling
technology products simpler and better. Here is just a sample of
how CNET Auctions is different:
CNET Auctions maintains a team of tech-product experts who
continually highlight the great deals available on the service.
Their expert guidance helps you buy the right product at the
right price.
On each product page, we allow you to quickly and easily access
the relevant product reviews from our extensive collection, so
you can read just what CNET's editors think about that product
before you buy.
And if the product being auctioned is new or almost new, you can,
with a simple click of your mouse, find the lowest retail prices
using our price comparison service, which features 1.5 million
prices on more than 135,000 products currently available from 84
computer resellers.
If you are already an online auction pro, you will appreciate
the fact that we let you rate buyers and sellers, use an escrow
service, and do all the things a great auction service should
enable you to do. CNET Auctions (http://auctions.cnet.com) has
been more than a year and a half in the making, and I think
you'll see we've put in all the bells and whistles. But as
always, we are interested in getting your feedback and ideas
on how to make it better.
From our dedicated team of technology-obsessed writers, producers,
editors, engineers, and designers here at CNET, we hope you like
CNET Auctions and we wish you the best of luck. Let the bidding
begin! (http://auctions.cnet.com)
