Back when I owned a place that sold stuff on the internet, I ended up having to build a lot of computer-related stuff to solve problems, but what Nisan Gabbay’s company, Social Labs, is doing is what I really wanted to do. I think the future of ecommerce involves people being rewarded for helping spread the word and sell stuff. It’s always customers who lead to more customers anyway, so why not just make them a part of your business, and cut them in for a share of sales?
If I were ever to get back into retail, which I seriously doubt, everything I did would be based on this idea.
And people could clearly use some extra income right now.
Damn Robot Overlords
By the way, for any of you considering opening a shop I know a place where you can get a sweet deal on all your inventory, including even hard-to-find “spoke tighteners.”
Apparently this tool only allows one to tighten spokes, making it–one would presume–a highly coveted collector’s item.
But this deal would be worth it for the tubes alone. Included in the $275,000 asking price, you can pick up $17,475 worth of 20″ tubes at only $6.99 each, which is only a few dollars more than you’d pay from a regular supplier who’d let you just buy a couple a week, as needed. But this is apparently $1.35-million worth of parts you’re picking up for only $275k, so why even think about it?
Me, I’m eyeing a different eBay-oriented opportunity.
