Ask HN: Would you monetize your site by adding deals to it?

7 pointsby Paskulinalmost 13 years ago
It's called www.sillytrader.com and here’s how it works:<p>1. Seller (you put a service or a product on a sillytrader with a discount) value 200$, price 100$, discount 50%<p>2. Reseller (you put a product or a servis of a seller to your blog, website, network...) you sell for 100$ and get 20% of the price.<p>3. Buyer ( you can buy directly from sillytrader or from a reseller) you get 70% of the price.<p>4. Sillytrade.com get's 10% of every deal.

How does the buyer get 70% of the price? I don't understand.<p>1. I sell my XBox (~$200 value) on sillytrader for $100. 2. pg puts it up on his site and through referrals gets $20 of the $100 sale price. 3. You see it on paulgraham.com and buy it for $100... and this is where I get confused. Where does the 70% come from?

Great idea. I think that adding an amount sold to the widget may add a bit of interest. it was the first thing I looked for when I went to the site, and provides a crowd-validation. Thanks!!
