[QUOTE="jimmy_goodfella, post: 19638, member: 919"]ebay won its monopoly by flooding adwords on google,everytime you search for anything on google ebay items come up.They obviously have done a special deal with google to allow every item they sell to get high up the ranks. Ebay can however be easily beaten,the trouble with most start up auctions is they dont have the money to flood search engines like ebay does at a probable loss untill it reaches the point of lots of buyers/sellers.So what is needed is about a 500 million usd gamble by some company to flood the internet with its auctions like ebay does.But unfortunatly everyone with that kinda funds will feel its too high a risky venture with so much of there capital.They look around at so many failing without realising they failed because they never put in the big bucks to dominate. If a auction site comes along and total aggresive marketing i think it has a good chance of success.But i bet a stumbling block will be that google will protect its buisness with ebay by blocking/preventing and basically downright culloding to ensure ebay its bread and butter business associate stays in its prime location on its search engine.A nice mutually compatible and agreeable monopoly's will continue.[/QUOTE]
