What is most interesting about the story is this idea that online auctions
may, as a whole, be sliding because consumers increasingly want to buy
something NOW and not have to wait till an auction ends in a week's time to
find out if they won it or not.
Of course, this could just be eBay's rationale in order to move toward a
set-price retail model, but IF this is true (I personally think it is, though
it is also only one factor among many in the market sea-change that is going
on), then ALL auctions, except those at the highest end, will be affected, eBay
or not.

Subject: [MOPO] Hershenson story goes viral
The 1,200-word analysis by Catherine Holahan featuring quotes by Bruce --
that originated in Business Week magazine in New York yesterday -- has gone
super viral today.
Beyond the Yahoo News reference previously cited by Channing, the story has
been picked up by many papers and websites, including USA Today and CNet, with
some using headlines or leads -- declaring eBay auctions, according to a
Business Week analysis -- are "doomed." The original Holahan story is at the
link below as a user-friendly PDF.

...But a Google News search of "Hershenson" cites nearly 50 "related"
stories on the web today....
