I am conducting "research" for a college course. Please vote on the following. I thought of posting here as eBay is a very internet related thing, and you are all internet users.

Would you buy, or be interested in a eBay magazine, featuring the months interesting lots, how to's, expert hints, bidding techniques etc?

Thanks for voting.

Although it might make for interesting reading, I wouldn't buy one, no.

I'd be much the same. Although an ebay related mag would be good - I think I know all I need to know.

It would be like the "Easy Windows XP" magazine which tell you how to use the start menu and all that. Rather than a bit more varied computer mag.

Although...I think there would be a market - I personally wouldn't have the need to buy it.
Good Lord!

Oh, there would definetely be a market. The same people who buy Computer Active magazine. Generally the 40+er's who want to learn about these new computer things. I speak as an ex-IT Trainer and we had students who used to donate their old magazines for our rest room. I personally wouldn't buy it, one reason being exactly the question of how many issues would cover all a novice needs to know? As far as I can guess, 5 at the most.

There's only so much you can do on ebay WHICH you could probably cover in one issue.

Most of the "How to" is online as it's an online service and hence how it made it's success.

I think it would be silly move if ebay were to do this. Probably not very cost effective either.
