Buying at Half.com ___________________________________________________________________ Selling at Half.com How does it work? How can I stand out from all those other listings? ___________________________________________________________________ Buying at Half.com Half.com is a fantastic resource for online buyers, especially now that you can find established eBay merchants selling their wares there (eBay purchased Half.com a few years back). You really can find incredibly low, dirt-cheap prices on stuff: especially on books, DVDs and video games. Bargains abound at Half.com due to that fierce seller competition we mentioned... We have routinely seen many great brand new DVDs listed for less than three dollars, and unread, fresh books for under a buck. Be sure and check the 'Bargain Bin' section for DVD deals! Scour the Half.com HOME page for advertised deals on everything from DVD boxed sets, to desktop computers under a hundred bucks. Deals and sub-category page links update constantly. The current product categories on the Half.com home page are: Books, Textbooks, Music, DVDs/Movies, Video Games, Computers & Software, Electronics, and 'Everything Else'. ! At half.com, If you are looking for a well known consumer product, there will be plenty of price levels and conditions to choose from- trust us! Sellers clamor all over one another to undercut each other on price, so they can see their item advertised at the top of the list for that product grade. The best part about this is, it gives you the buyer the ability to select from a wide variety of conditions and prices of the particular item you are looking for, with no haggling or bidding- the price is spelled out right there for you in black and white. Each product page lists all variations of the item you want, in the following grades: 'Brand New', 'Like New', 'Very Good', 'Good', and 'Acceptable'. So, if you are looking for a beat-up, dog-eared, used copy of a techno-thriller or romance novel paperback to read for yourself for under a buck- no problem. But let's say you want to give a gift of a Harry Potter DVD or X-BOX video game to your nephew, that is still in pristine, brand new, factory sealed condition- again, no problem. It's all there to pick and choose from on the product page. Just type in a search on the home page and go. You can also select your favored shipping method before you buy, by just choosing the listing that's right for you- if you are in a hurry, and don't want your purchase shipped media mail (most Half.com sellers users use this method) a new site feature allows you to 'upgrade' your shipping with many Half.com merchants. Again, all these features are listed in a 'side by side' comparison manner- and of course, like eBay, when you find a favorite seller, you can just go visit their product line once you have saved that merchant in your 'my favorite' sellers area. As an online bargain hunter and seller, what could be better? Caution: Remember that your eBay & Half.com feedback are now part of the same database, so bear in mind- your user behavior at one site will definitely affect your ratings at the other! ___________________________________________________________________ |
