欧博官网HipStamp Service And Prices
Don, as a systems architect and technologist, I would say that the platform modeling is not correct in these etailing models. I see it over and over again. If the goal is to just be another venue for small collections of sellers to hawk wares, then they have achieved that.
There are more than a few ways these sites can break out and really be something special.
Information: understand the value of it, related to the merchandise. How much info in a stamp can you provide? Past sales (currently a premium), historic info, cert data, message forums per stamp...
That leads me to community. These sites do nothing to build community, like this site does. If stamps (not the sellers) had reviews like Amzn, imagine the long lived threads. It doesn't undermine sales, it shifts them, sometimes in ways that force current sellers to reinvent... Like the fellows mentioned on many threads ..
Resources - ties into clubs, exhibits, etc.
Advertising: it's not just stamps. There is an ecosystem waiting to be born.
I want a mount for a unique stamp. Why is it so darn hard to get the one I need? I would totally overpay for a 1 off mount need per purchase. It shouldn't take 30 minutes to reconcile.
Mandatory front and back images. Everyone should be educated the 2 dimension minimum standard. How is this not a thing yet?
Regex searching including filtering out sellers. Sites have to realize, when you go to a mall, you don't always want to go into Circuit City and Best Buy, even if that means one will die. It means CC has to adapt.
Attracting big money. Provide and integrate real use services. Auto expertization processes, expediting expertization for even more money. Provide professional services and curating services...
If you are going to put a middle man in the transaction there has to be value add for the buyer. I see minimal sustainable here...
I just think innovation is orthogonal to the sites as they're currently portrayed.
