ecommerce: September 2006 Archives
The clock is ticking....
Nominations for the 2006 Net Visionary Awards close on September 29th so get nominating!
I'm delighted to say that I've been nominated in two categories this year - Entrepeneur and Blogger!
Although I've had some really good experiences on eBay, one vendor's practices make me sick to the stomach.
Shendenetworking market themselves as:
Shende Networking Co.,Ltd, ebay ID verified powerseller, is specialized in new and sealed Cisco products, including switch, firewall, router, GBIC&SFP,WIC,software,memories,cables etc... We provide high quality products and professional services to our customers. Happy bidding!However they actually sell counterfeit Cisco equipment. When we queried this with them one of their staff replied:
We never indicate that these units are original cisco items on ebay listing page.BUT if you look at any item these scammers are selling you'd get a very different impression We found out the hard way when we sent a defective switch into Cisco recently. It's a lot safer to buy from the likes of Hardware.com!
Remember canned Irish air?
How about "genuine" New York garbage?
I was half listening to Morning Ireland this morning when they interviewed Justin Gignac, who literally sells rubbish.
For a "mere" $50 you can get a signed and numbered cube of NYC rubbish (garbage). The $50 includes free shipping worldwide.
You can find out more on his website.
The French branch of the Amazon empire is 6 years old. Happy birthday!
I've been buying DVDs off it for the last couple of years as I either couldn't get them elsewhere or found that I was being charged premium rates. For example Banlieue 13 (District 13) has been available on DVD in France since late 2005, whereas the English version was only released on DVD in the last fortnight.
