the assignment 2

Amazon vs eBay

For this assingment, I will compare product from Amazon.com and eBay.com.




















1. The first product that I'm going to compare is magazine. The title is Car and Driver. At Amazon, the books is priced at $11.97. At eBay, the price for the same magazine is only $8.00.





2. The second product is drum set. At Amazon, a Tama drum set is priced at $325. While at eBay, a same Tama drum set is priced at higher price, that is at $699.





3. The third product is a men's shoes. At Amazon, a Converse All Star Chuck Taylor Shoes Sneakers Canvas is priced from $29.99 - $26.00. At eBay, the same shoes is ranged at price from $34.99 - $39.99.



4. The fourth product is an Acer laptop. At Amazon, a New Acer Aspire One 11.6" is priced at $349.99 while at eBay, the same laptop is priced at lower price, that is at $299.99.


5. The fifth product is a 2GB SD Secure Digital Memory Card. At Amazon, the memory card is priced at $14.57, while at eBay the price is much lower, that is at $7.95.
***********************************
From the above comparison, I've found that Amazon is applying Everyday Low Priced only at certain product like the Tama drumset and the Converse shoes. I conclude here that not all product at Amazon is using EDLP.
