Description

Snipers, Shills, & Sharks: Understanding eBay and Human Behavior This book explores how human behaviors in online markets like eBay can be more complex than predicted by standard economic theory. Ken Steiglitz examines the site through the lens of auction theory, revealing the strategies and tactics used by buyers and sellers. From the fascinating history of auctions to practical advice on how to succeed in online auctions, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of how eBay works. Steiglitz draws on cutting-edge economics and his own experiences with the site to introduce readers to the fundamentals of auction theory and the mathematics behind eBay. With exercises and an appendix, this book is ideal for sophisticated users of online auctions and students seeking an accessible introduction to the study of auction theory.
