Founded in a San Jose living room in 1995, eBay has become the world's #1 online shopping destination and has revolutionized the way we buy and sell. You name it, just about; they sell today it on eBay. Case in point was a Brentwood, New Hampshire pizzeria that sold its first large cheese pizza earlier this month for $100 to kick off and help promote the business. Today on the Exchange, we explore the phenomenon of eBay, how it's used and where it may take the future of shopping. Laura's guests are M. Eric Johnson, Professor of Operations Management at Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business and Director of its Glassmeyer/McNamee Center for Digital Strategies and Jim "Griff" Griffith, Dean of eBay University, author of The Official eBay Bible and host of eBay Radio. We'll also hear from Ashley Norris, Publisher of bayraider, a blog based in London, England that tracks some of the more interesting items up for auction on eBay.
