Futureshop: how the new auction culture will revolutionize...

---

The money you recoup when you turn in your expensive stroller, for example, can be put into a new bike for your child." The book, however, ignores a large segment of society: poor and lower middle class people, many of whom don't have computers or the means to buy a $4,600 watch. Similarly, Nissanoff's model assumes people will want to spend the time and energy tracking auctions, bidding, hawking their own stuff and making endless trips to the post office to send off their used handbags. Though it has an exciting promise-people buy newer, bigger, better, shinier possessions all the time, so why not put them to work?-Nissanoff's theory is directed at too narrow a range of consumers to carry a revolutionary consumption wallop.
