In the internet age, there is no doubt that the traditional industry is always pursuing new and changing, even scalpers. When we have a large number of scalpers habits that have been spread over the train ticket sales, hospitals, major performances and events , they have started to reach the Internet-snapping up tickets, Apple phones and other scarce things by using ticket software Even in the electric business war also shot in here to share a cup of soup.
New Tricks for scalpers software
Every time Apple sells a new mobile phone, the pomp of the cattle squeeze the shop door will appear, scalpers will bulk the mobile phone to resell out, can earn the difference, but also fired up the price of Apple mobile phone.
The cattle had sparked riots last year when the iphone was sold. On the eve of the iphone sale, a large number of scalpers and fruit powder lined up overnight outside the Apple store in Sanlitun, Beijing, however, at 9 in the morning of the sale, three Li tun Apple store "line up to this deadline" notice, so there are scalpers dissatisfaction, to the Apple store smashed eggs caused serious conflict, police are pulling up the cordon.
Subsequently, Apple issued a statement decided iphone temporarily not in Beijing and Shanghai retail outlets for sales, and to take a boycott, that is, the sale of new products in the mainland to take the prior booking, the formal sale of goods to the store after the way. To further avoid scalpers influx of online operations, Apple has deliberately made a certain limit, that is, to each of the scheduled mobile phone number to send the verification code.
The move has left a large number of scalpers queuing up for the loss of the iphone, and the pomp of scalpers gathering at Apple Stores is no longer. According to reports, IPhone5S and iphone5c on the day, three Li Tun, wangfujing and other Apple stores than before, especially deserted, rarely cattle camping.
However, this way, although to some extent improve the scalpers of the cost of the machine, but still can not extinguish their enthusiasm.
Apple recently unveiled its first-week sales of iphone5s and iphone5c, with up to 9 million total global store sales of two handsets, the all-time record for the first week of iphone sales.
According to the analysis, Apple can get more than expected sales results, mainly two products in China and Japan sales are very good. Among them, in China, "tyrants gold" iphone5s become the most sought-after mobile phone, the original price of 5288 Yuan was fired to nearly 20,000 yuan, even if there is no market price, a machine difficult to ask.
As a result, the yellow cattle to September 21 began to the second round of official bookings increased investment.
There are reports that yellow cattle in the early hours of 21st hired a team of 50 people in the Apple online shop to brush the page booking Golden IPhone5S, the last no gain, mainly Apple's official website reservation page almost always in a state of paralysis.
To this end, there are also dedicated to the development of plug-ins, can be used in the Apple official online buying. It is reported that as early as the sale of iphone, the Apple Hong Kong official website will open a small number of iphone scheduled every day, but a lot of cattle by virtue of the port automatically under a single technology to buy it away. To this, a buyer said, "I waited more than 10 days, several times open, but even a phone shadow did not see." ”
It can be seen that the snapping software based on Internet operation provides scalpers with new operation technique.
In fact, it is not only the Apple mobile phone, has always been known as "hunger marketing" millet mobile phones in the new models of limited sales will also produce a spree.
Like Apple's mobile phone, the internet has also been snapping up software for millet handsets. Taobao, Tencent technology to see many sellers in the sale of mobile phones "snapping software", the price is about 3 yuan, the monthly turnover of nearly 1800, mainly for Millet 3, millet 2S, red rice mobile phone.
A customer service person who runs the software store said to Tencent that the software is really helping to rob a mobile phone, as long as the server is guaranteed to be able to increase the chances of being robbed.
The customer service staff further explained that the number of red rice sold less, so it is more difficult to buy, this software is actually a mobile phone mall browser, linked to the Millet mobile phone server, but can buy success also depends on the specific use of the environment and operating methods. The service also said the software is based on Google (microblogging) browser configuration of the open environment, no matter at any time can not be officially blocked.
Despite the many constraints and the inability to guarantee the 100% snapping, the buyer's comments suggested that the software was doing well and that many buyers said they were snapping up success.
Electric business War makes new network ox
In addition to the above scalpers, recently, the "price war" between the electric dealers has spawned a batch of new network scalpers, they take the opportunity to buy goods at a low price, and then resell to sell, so as to obtain the difference.
It is reported that Gome (micro-bo) through IP, shipping address, mobile phone number and other information for system identification, to prevent cattle orders, as of April this year, the total amount of cancellation of cattle orders for more than 1 billion yuan; Beijing east last year on the line run the self-help research and development of "Jingdong Guardian" system to prevent cattle orders; Amazon China has also taken the appropriate measures.
Some insiders have told the media that the truth, the cattle sweep behind the goods, in fact, the strength of the size of the merchant in the low price "sweep", and then resell to the offline and online sellers, from which to earn the difference.
The above industry personage also said, the electricity trader hits the price war, is the electric business scalpers to be in the game. They will take the opportunity to cargo the target and gradually digest it afterwards.
"In snapping up, the network scalpers experience, and some people will be through the special software to order, ordinary consumers in the speed is certainly not comparable," said an electric dealer website marketing staff.
And even if there are many ways to limit scalpers, such as the use of input verification code, background monitoring and other means, but "villains, outsmart", scalpers will soon find new countermeasures.
On the group-buying website, Internet scalpers are rampant. There is a business response, the sale of their own low-cost buy goods, instant by the same IP thousands of people snapped, other real consumers snapped up few success.
However, because the purchase coupons are electronic coupons, in the scalpers second-hand reselling after a certain risk. For example, the password cannot be authenticated, or the purchase coupon has been repeatedly consumed.
So, when the internet has been deeply penetrated into people's lives, "rowing against the scalpers" has become the motto of life, in the network to seek new "opportunities" has become the industry guidelines for this gray chain.
