Finally... a Chance to Follow-up on My Ebay Test!

I don't think Boyd wants to know the seller ID so he can try and figure out the system. Boyd's one of the most honorable people online and wouldn't do that.

I think it has more to do with providing a little proof of what is being claimed. Nothing more, nothing less. Revealing a seller ID would allow instant ability for any interested people to see whether the items have sold in the volume claimed.

And also to see whether or not the seller ID may have some small part to play in getting the results because maybe it adds more credibility somehow.

And to see if the 'copy' also had some role to play.

In other words, in my opinion, Boyd wanted to know the seller ID so he could provide as much detailed feedback as possible - something he does quite often.

From Diane's point of view... who cares whether the real reason is based on 'controlling a test' or not. I wouldn't reveal my seller ID simply because I would rather "fly low and collect the dough" and I work on the principle of "don't let them see you coming" - which is why you knew Dien and I were going to release a new product but you didn't know exactly what it was until we released it. I am, of course, talking about The Great Ideas Letter http://www.sowpub.com/greatideas/

Reveal the seller ID in a book which talks about the system, if you want, but not before hand. Nothing wrong with that either.

As for the initial test being a success or not...

Well, if the goal was to sell all items and that goal was not achieved, then success was not attained.

On the other hand, if the goal was to make a profit, and a profit was made, then the test was a success.

Continue to make a profit and the system becomes very well proven, for the person running the system.

That's my 2,000,000 shares worth of Enron ($0.02) HA!

P.S. James, any relation to the famous tennis player?
