Chip and Cern have their new equipment and are sounding better
from an audio perspective, not content. There is nothing they can
do about that. In high school Chip and Cern were eBay power users.
Snagging sunglasses, baseball memorabilia and other goodies on the
regular. Chip heard from a coworker that eBay has some good deals
about some audio equipment. Chip went to get some stuff, but now he
is banned from eBay. Hear that story and more on this episode of
the Chip and Cern Show.
Chip and Cern’s mixer started to crap out, so it was time for
a new one. Chip found a newer one on eBay that was a good deal, so
threw some bids out. After some more research Chip found some
better deals that were on “Or Best Offer” so he threw out a few
more offers. The eBay marketplace
Chip found some guy on Facebook Marketplace that runs his own
online radio station, http://www.allthebestoldies.com/,
and wasn’t using this anymore, so Chip got a great deal on their
new audio interface.
No sooner does Chip get back in the car from buying this new
interface, then he gets a “you are the high bidder with 17mins
left” notification. Chip knows his wife will murder him, so he
tries to get out of this commitment. Chip was able to cancel the
order, but at the price of getting banned from eBay because of his
many canceled transactions in a few days.
Chip and Cern talk about how Facebook Marketplace has really
taken over for the used selling stuff. Way less hassle than
Craigslist and on Facebook you know whom you are dealing
with.
Cern does a live price comparison for him Samsung Galaxy S7.
eBay comes in at a cool $130 and on Facebook Marketplace they were
going for well over $250. So there is your reason why ebay is on
the down and out.
This brings Chip and Cern to check out eBays stock price and
whatnot.
Chip has been killing the Facebook Marketplace game with his
used stuff. Easy to sells, more trust for some reason.
