Default How Richard Branson Uses On-Line 1/2 Price Auctions to Sell Cabins

Thanks Gordon/Dien,

I used to have Fun TORTURING people with My Ebay Auctions. I'd start each
auction at 1.38 and Add Value to each bidder DURING the Auction. Got the
Price up to 800++ bucks. Made a bundle on my 6hr "Bartenders Guide on how to Make Women JUMP" program.

(Before they changed the rules. Back then you could email your bidders.

So.

My Client COMPLAINED to me about Sir Richard.

He and his wife wanted to go on a Cruise with Virgin Cruise lines.

On-line auction
started at 2500.00 for a 5000.00 Cabin to the Bahamas.

Jim is convinced it is rigged.

None of the Auctions finished at less than the standard price of 5Grand.

So he didn't buy.

But now they had his email and contact info.

Email after Voice Mail
after Text message.

And Because he wanted to meet some of the FAMOUS Sports Star Investors.
Jim bought a 5K Cabin.

But the Sports Stars made a Quick dash. Serving coffee and Tea. Then
Disappeared up stairs.

Jim is Fuzzy on this.

He was at a Wine Tasting. Watched Travis Kelce walk by and UP the Ramp to the Sky Deck Party.

Ooooops.

Security Guard Said, "Your 5K cabin does not "QUALIFY" you to go up to the Sky Deck."

When he woke up from his Hangover.

(There are 29 Bars on The Scarlet Lady cruise ship)

He had sighed up for a 10,000.00 Cabin. (Only a few dollars more a mo)

Pretty CLEVER.

Use an online CHEAP SEEMING Auction to Collect Prospects.

then

Add Value
Add Value
Add Value

Until they Buy.

Then let the booze and STAR Power do the rest.

Thanks,
Glenn
