As sniping and scamming on eBay continues to rise like bids on the latest techno gadget, many buyers and sellers are looking for better ways to trade online. What they are finding may
revolutionize the way Internet retail takes place.
The process: Darple.com'ss double-auction technology.
In an article published Monday in the Orange County
Register, Darple.com hit front page news as an alternative method to buy and sell products online.
How is it different from eBay
Instead of only bidders competing for a single item, Darple throws sellers into the equation, driving prices of products closer to the
fair-market value. In short, buyers are getting the best deal available, while sellers are closing auctions at a more consistent and stable selling price.
The double-auction concept has worked successfully for decades within the stock market, says Mark Molloy, founder of Darple.com. We'sve just extended it so that it works for anything --
even unique items such as jewelry and art. It turns out that was pretty easy -- we just let buyers decide for themselves what items are acceptable alternatives to them, and at what
prices, ensuring they only get one of their alternatives. The key to greater satisfaction with double auctions is that when a sale closes, both buyers and sellers know they got the best
deal.
Perhaps the greatest benefit for the new trading method is that it is free for both buyers and sellers. With no listing or closing fees, sellers can increase their profit margins and
buyers can get even better deals. Users can register quickly and easily at Darple.com.
Currently Darple.com offers a wide selection of textbooks and music, with new users adding daily.
