let's ebay everything!

By Jeff Thomas - April 05, 2011

What if you could bid on ebay for virtually everything you buy? 

Really. 

What if you could buy auto repair services through on online auction?  Dentistry maybe?  I know that sounds a bit crazy, but if a dentist (or car mechanic) has lots of customer ratings, and still has a 99-100% score, why not?

For those of us that still believe in good old capitalism, online auctions are a great equalizer.  They allow even the smallest of companies, offering relatively unknown products and services, to compete with industry giants.  The skeptics would quickly point out that price isn't everything.  But that ignores the value of having access to customer reviews and quality scores.  And NOBODY HAS TO BUY ANYTHING (assuming there are still folks out there that are offering fixed prices for their car repair and dentistry)... it would just be an option.  Certainly, buyer beware is the name of the game, but that's really the way it's supposed to work anyway, is it not?

I've had some terrible automotive repair transactions, and I'm STILL ticked off about a hack-job root canal I had done 20 years ago... so what's the worst that could happen?

Now... some may be asking the question... am I (Jeff Thomas, President and CEO of 30dps) willing to put my money where my mouth is?  Well... email me your bid on some branding or website services with 30dps, and find out! (notice: I may have a reserve)
