News: Cendant (CD) offers the HAGGLE ZONE!! Cendant Corp.'s (CD) Netmark offers the Haggle Zone for shoppers who are looking for the chance to fight for the best price on popular toys over the computer, rather than paying the going rate at the traditional stores. The site has a patent pending on the haggling feature. Netmarket, which also has auction and flea market options, offers 1.700 brands and derives its revenue primarily from membership fees. Although anyone can buy products from the site, members get a larger discount, expanded warranties and a lowest-price guarantee, said Kerry O'Neil, vice president of interactive services at Cendant. Searching for discounts is a mission for many shoppers, and many Internet retailers are hoping to grab market share by appealing to those looking to buy on the cheap. Many of these players are able to undercut the prices of traditional retailers because they have lower costs. (From: "Alternative shopping sites vie for Internet trade" by Reshma Kapadia, Yahoo!
