Default Heritage Auctions: Ambush Marketing?

Posted By: T206Collector

<<It's foolish not to push your nearly free "advertising" to the maximum allowed by Ebay.>>

I think this is akin to spamming email. I don't think its illegal or particularly malevolent. I think its somewhat adolescent and goofy and smacks of desperate marketing.

Ebay is already filled with this so-called "advertising" and it further dilutes the ability of collectors to get to actual cards on ebay. If everyone that promotes a business uses ebay in this fashion, then pretty soon ebay stops being at all useful for its intended purpose.

Here's my next Net54 thread: "Authentic T206 Wagner -- Cheap!"

Text of message: "I wish I could find one. In the meantime, I'm eating at Sloppy Joes, on the corner of 34th and 2nd."
