Ztail's pitch is that, for certain products, they can guarantee the resale price on eBay, so you know the *true* value you are getting from it. For example, a $500 Toshiba TV has a guaranteed ebaY resale price of $200. This is brilliant at many levels, in terms of automating and simplifying the buying experience!
Some interesting points
- Its free - no charges anywhere
- For now, the resale price is only guaranteed for upto a year after the purchase - after that, you are on your own. They are apparently working on improving this.
- If the TV sellers for *more* than the guaranteed price (say, $250 instead of $200), you *still* get to keep the extra cash. Ztail makes money off of affiliate marketing to the various online stores they direct you to, not off of your resale value. So this is not an arbitrage game, and is much fairer to the end customer.
I'll be adding more thoughts (hopefully) on this soon. What do you think?
