John
Hawk had been an eBay user, seller and buyer for many
years before co-founding Bidadoo with his brother,
Howard. One of the first items he sold was a moose head
that had been sitting around in his garage for many
years. He considered the various advertising methods
available to him, and decided to put it up on eBay
because he “didn’t want to open his house up to a bunch
of strangers who just wanted to feel the antlers.”
Within a week, 500 people had looked at the moose head.
“People,” he emphasizes “who went to eBay and
specifically typed in the word “moose head.” Seven days
after John put the moose head on eBay it way out of his
garage, and he was several hundred dollars richer.
