AuctionDrop is a service that allows people to take items they want to sell on eBay, and drop them off at an AuctionDrop location and they sell it for you. Some have said that this service will never take off, I couldn't disagree more, I think that the only thing standing between this service and success is consumer awareness. The vast majority of people in this country have never shopped, much less sold anything on eBay... in addition most of the people in the country are not comfortable enough with technology to shop or sell on eBay, but a service like AuctionDrop removes all these barriers for consumers. Everyone has "stuff" in their house they no longer use, that could be sold online, now all they will have to do is drop it off at an AuctionDrop location (There are thousands given the partnership auctiondrop has with UPS).
Often times some of the best business ideas are products that compliment another growing business/service (like eBay). I think that AuctionDrop is a great service for the average consumer and that it is companies like AuctionDrop that eBay will rely on to drive their growth. Here is some free advice to the AuctionDrop people: To avoid competition they should offer a discount for AuctionDrop users to buy other AuctionDrop items, to create some type of incentive to drive growth early and offer an incentive for customers to stay.
