21、购1 平心而论,互联网已经彻底改变了我们购物习惯。过去我们没有选择,只能踟蹰在商业街上寻找最划算东西;而现在我们能够坐在扶手椅上舒适地购物了。2 但这也有缺点。商业街规模相对较小,你能够看到自己想逛商店,然后朝其方向直奔过去即可。不过互联网广大无边,让人难以选择,你不得不搜寻自己想去逛商店。假如你不知道去哪儿逛,那么你最终买到东西可能还没有(在商业街上)磨破鞋子买来划算。3 现在已经有试图引导人们走出网络迷宫网站了。其中一家叫Haggle4me网站,就致力于帮助你买到最划算东西。参考译文参考译文参考译文参考译文:In-depth Reading第15页搜寻廉价搜寻廉价4 这个想法非常简单。对于
22、任何你想要买东西,你给出一个你自己找到最低价格(不论你有没有努力去找),比如一台新电视机卖600美元。其它网友经过自己方式上网搜索,努力让你做成一笔更划算买卖。比如,他们找到一台一样电视机只卖500美元。这就意味着你节约了100美元。只要你能节约最少20美元,那么就需要把所节约金额五分之一(在该案例中为20美元)支付给找到这笔买卖议价者。议价者再把这个金额四分之一(在该案例中为5美元)支付给网站。5 只要你一开始时就努力找到最正确价格,那么你几乎不会有什么损失。假如你给出是商家提议零售价,打个比喻,那么你可能会节约很多钱,不过议价者所能取得收益也会更多。你能够在众多比价网站上轻易找到比商家给出

24、。8 为了处理这些潜在问题,一个新交易正在兴起而且这次是发生在商业街上。连锁商店收走你不想要物品,然后帮你在易贝上挂出。他们会为你处理好全部棘手事情,包含物品描述、拍照和之后网上公布工作。In-depth Reading第17页9 一样,这也暗藏着问题。他们通常会收取物品价格三分之一作为佣金,最少也要15美元。所以,假如是价格较低物品,你最终只能取得少许收益,甚至什么都得不到。10 这些关于在线买卖创意对于那些没有时间或者不愿意亲自做这些事情人来说,都是很有用。当然,假如你亲自来做这些事情话,你可能也会买到最划算或是卖到最好价钱。这就像是请人来帮你整理花园。通常他们并没有做任何尤其事,不过让你
