Are you finding yourself selling more items on line? Even cars? Have you vound yourself purchasing more products online?
More car sellers are doing it for themselves (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17612315/) - consumers are taking advantage of a growing online market to sell their cars themselves rather than accepting a lowball trade-in offer from a dealer.
The trend gained momentum last year as consumers found car dealers especially stingy with their trade-in offers because they were struggling to resell the fuel-thirsty SUVs, pickups and large sedans that consumers were dumping as gas prices soared.
By the end of the year private-party sales represented 34 percent of the used-car market, up from 18 percent a year earlier, according to a report by CNW Marketing Research Inc.
