Thank you Scot

April 23, 2008

This post was written in April 2008; specific information contained within it may be out of date.

A couple of weeks ago we put out a plea for a US supplier who could obtain a couple of Flip Video cameras for Sue and myself. Evan of PeSA offered to help out but in the end Scot Wingo of ChannelAdvisor made things easy and offered to bring a couple over with him to the Catalyst conference this week.

Having got the cameras it only seemed fitting that the very first film should be of Scot, so here he is talking from Catalyst at Vinopolis:

Video is becoming increasingly important as a differentiator on eBay and the web in general so it was no surprise that vzaar were one of the Catalyst sponsors. They told us “vzaar had great fun at Catalyst connecting with PowerSellers and demonstrating to them how beneficial video can be for eBay listings. We were particularly pleased to partner with Monday’s presenters Red Letter Days who have just started to include experience videos on eBay in association with Channel Advisor”

We’ll be making good use of the Flip cameras so look out for more video on TameBay in the future. A huge “Thank you” to Scot from Sue and myself for bringing the cameras over for us!

Now if someone can start importing the Flip cameras there’s a ready made market for them… I could have sold mine about ten times the first evening (and yes Nick, I’ll try to remember to get you one when we’re in the US for eBay Live!)

Hey Scot! Got any camcorder sellers?

Dear Mr Wingo

I look forward to attending the Catalyst conference in Pinehurst NC early next month but wondered if you could assist with a small request.

We know that ChannelAdvisor have a large number of the top sellers from the US and around the world who will be attending and we’re trying to buy a product that just isn’t available in the UK.

Flip VideoSue and I are after a couple of Flip Video camcorders (mainly cos we always lose USB cables). It would be great if you could give a shout out, as one of your sellers must surely be able to supply them?

If they could bring a couple to the conference we’d be happy to pay with PayPal or a choice of £s or $s in cash.

Best regards,

Sue and Chris

P.S. We’d like one in orange and one in green if possible but we’re not that fussed on colour if it’s a problem.

P.P.S. We’ll probably give a gratuitous plug to the seller that comes up trumps and gets us a couple.
