[...] Первые совместные покупатели появились случайно, во время чата о покупках всего подряд – от электронники до машин и квартир, в тот момент они поняли что могут получить отличные скидки если будут покупать вместе. Кроме того, получение скидки это что-то вроде дополнительной страховки от покупки некачественных и поддельных товаров в китайских магазинах. “Иногда мы приходим в магазин внезапно и начинаем требовать скидку”, говорит Чен Шу, из Шанхая: “Иногда мы сначала звоним, но чаще просто делаем им сюрприз. Владельцы магазинов спорят, но в конце концов им это выгодно”. Некоторые пользуются специальными сайтами, на которых размещаются магазины, готовые предоставить скидку для покупательских флэшмобов… [Полный вариант статьи на сайте Economist] http://www.economist.com/print.....id=7121669 http://www.techcrunch.com/2006.....discounts/ [...]

[...] We will see the rise of a system of interoperable computers with ever increasing intelligence (read: Internet). And we will also see changes in human behaviour thanks or due to the interaction with that system. A beautiful example is Chinese mob shopping; Chinese get organized by means of the Internet to show up in large numbers at a store and claim quantum discount. [...]

The power of a group can influence many things, but nothing works better in a market driven economy then group buying. There have been a few “dot bombs” that attempted to digitally recreate a group buying model, and Woot to……

I think this flash mobbing/shopping 2.0 or whatever you want to call it can work though it needs to be managed properly. For the idea to truly work you require more than just a means for like minded shoppers to connect to each other. This is a crucial first step but a first step only. I think for this idea to work in North America the service provider also needs to provide the procurement function. It would be easy to get people to sign up and say they are interested in receiving product discounts. The real benefit, and the feature that will keep people coming back to a service, is doing the legwork for them. We feel that once a website establishes a customer base and proves to merchants that it can move large quantities of their products the merchants will also find it beneficial.

Anyway, that’s what we’re hoping for as we’re developing a website that does just that.

Cheers to TechCrunch on a great site!

You can already do this. If you get 100 ppl that want to buy a laptop and call the manufacturer they will work a deal with you . This is defintly not new. The only thing new is actually organizing it no a regular basis online.

The Chinese know much more about haggling than Americans. When I visted China some years ago, my hosts volunteered to accompany me whenever I wanted to buy something, pointing out that the physical presense of a group of freinds behind me would help get a better price. This seemed to work and I’ve used the idea ever since. It’s not so useful when shopping in the US, since most stores will not negotiate on price, but it’s useful in many other contexts where you want to get someone to agree to something.

Re: Urban

Oh, Walmart is already in China and expanding further! I was near one in Shantou, a coastal city just north of Hong Kong and the store becomes a hub in the town. Walmart brought a lot of new goods to the city. To be sure, its not that walmart goods aren’t expensive, it’s just they are less expensive than everywhere else in the region especially for those “foreign goods.”

As Mr. Cashmore alluded to flash mobs earlier, I had the same thought… this is only one modifying adjective away from that hoaxish deal; I can’t help but be suspicious after we got burned by the “flash mob” mania.

For US, CheapStingyBargains.com has forums for similar concept, which they call ‘Co-op’. According to the forum admin, “The Co-Op forum is a meeting place for the community to leverage its power as a group to negotiate lower prices for goods and services.”

There was a startup in the bay area called Mob Shop, around 1999 or so, which did this. I think they even sold some cars that way. It’s a model which definitely has potential but has to be managed just right.
