Question about auctioning off high demand items
Why don't more businesses auction off their high demand items. I can think of two obvious examples where auctioning makes sense in my mind, but I wonder if I'm overlooking something.
new gaming consoles near opening day tickets for sporting events, concerts, etc. I'm sure there's more. |

Re: Question about auctioning off high demand items
they sell like a million consoles, that kinda seems like a hassel to organize.
Basically, for sporting events they are auctioning them off by gouging the prices way up. |

Ya, when the XBox360 came out, there was way higher demand than supply and there were going to be shortages anyway. Why didn't Microsoft charge in the 550-600 dollar range when it was going for much higher than that online?

Prices tend to range from 2.5x-1.5x the highest regular printed ticket price as you move back. That figure is just based on my experience looking at tickets - I don't know if it holds true for all auctions but I'd guess it's something like that. |
