A Few Moments With ColderICE in Atlanta
While in Atlanta for the Ecommerce Summit I spent a few minutes with John Lawson of ColderICE.
Nice to see you Randy. I wonder if John has his talk on his blog? I'm always interested in hearing from him.
Randy, please suggest that buy.com open a category for art. It does really well on Ebay and its a large category but artists are being gouged and hidden in Ebay faulty best match search. As long as buy.com has the traffic, art would do well.
That's the problem Randy - Amazon does the same thing. It needs its own cateogry - just as it does on Ebay. Would you believe I'm even selling on Overstock and getting more traffic then on Ebay. Sad, but true. I hope they look into it for the future. People will buy art if its under their nose. Its incredible how uneducated the public really is when it comes to finding things on the internet.
Randy - incidentally, I did well on Amazon years ago when they had an art/antiques category and they were doing auctions...but even fixed price listings would sell if properly presented to the public.
In the old country cute is an abbreviation for acute, a cute businessman would be a sharp one. My American dictionary tells me that cute means adorable, appealing so I would say that you are both all kinds of cute on both sides of the Pond.

Pat,
We get traffic but based on the searches we see there isn't much demand for Art. We do have quite a selection of Art in the Home and Outdoor section.
Hopfully one day we will have some demand.
Henrietta,
We are kind of cute aren't we?

Yep the two of you can make a good team :-)
