From The Country Lyrics

View:

This is where eBay comes in the limelight. Every online shoppers and online traders can benefit a lot in eBay. But because of its wide diversity, things being sold on eBay had increased to amore wider, broader, and weirder.

Yes! With the wide access and convenience eBay gives to its members, there were reports that even the weirdest things were auctioned and even sold on eBay.

Here are some of them:

1. Ghost in a Jar

There was an actual report about an item, dubbed as a "ghost in a jar", being sold on eBay. The seller narrated in his item description how he got the jars (there were two, actually). The seller claimed that the remaining jar contains some "black thing" based on what happened to the other jar after it fell to the ground and emitted some sort of black smoke.

The auctioned placed 60 bids during the listing and had reached $90 million. Though, there are no concrete reports as to whether the sale was really closed or who got the item in that amount.

2. Vampire killing kit

This refers to a kit suitable for some "vampire hunters". This kit includes an ebony wood stake, a crossbow with four silver-tipped arrows, a variety of surgical instruments, and a large bottle of holy water.

3. UFO Detector

This is a modified magnetometer manufactured by a Brazilian company. It was said on the auction that this item can actually detect an approaching UFO or can spot an UFO activity.

4. Russian Test space Shuttle

It's a spacecraft built by a Russian company. The actual reserve price for this item is $2 million but was auctioned and bid on eBay with only a small percentage from its actual selling price.

5. Serial Killer's Fingernails

This refers to the fingernails of a certain Roy Norris who sailed to Southern California, in 1979, for a killing binge that murdered five people. He was with a certain Lawrence Bittaker.

These fingernails are placed at the back of a Christmas card with Norris' note, signature, and black thumbprint.

These are just a few of the weirdest things that a buyer can get on eBay. In fact, there are thousand others lurking in eBay and are waiting for some eager and gullible bidders.

From The Country Lyrics

Need to improve your sales techniques? Need tips that can move you into the next tax bracket?, the next neighborhood, the next European sports sedan? Believe me when I tell you, it is already in you. In other words, you don't need Zig to tell you you are a good salesperson, you should know deep down inside that either you are, or you are not.

How?

When is the last time you listened to someone else give a sales presentation? Could you could tell it was the same sales pitch and same sales techniques they used everyday? Now, here is the scary part, what are people saying about yours?

If someone is willing to buy what you are selling it means you have sold yourself. Go back and read that sentence again, it IS POWERFUL!

And that's what's wrong with sales techniques and selling skills today. They no longer include the human element, the trust factor that is the bedrock to any selling relationship.

A Google search on sales strategies will result in over a million results instantly. Even with so much information at your finger tips it is not any easier to perfect your craft without realizing that you don't need most of what you buy, read, listen to, or regurgitate into the marketplace.

Have you heard yourself lately? You use all the industry buzzwords and lingo and you may think you come off sounding knowledgalbe, but please realize you sound like every other cookie cutter out there.

How do we change?

Make a difference and be different! It is here that modern sales strategies fail.

If a buyer is faced with the same product and same pricing, he or she will typically buy from the person, (notice I said person, not company) that they perceive a better relationship with. In fact, in 6 out of 10 instances, that same buyer would be willing to pay more for the same reason. What does this mean? It means get out of the business section at Barnes & Noble and get over to the relationship section fast!

You will be better compensated for it and who knows, you might make life long friends. Not such a bad transaction right?
