This video came to me via Twitter. It really shows the value of creative and energetic marketing when selling a product.

The message is pretty clear and shows how powerful creative marketing can be. If you’re selling a bike, wheels or anything around the house, this is a great example of how being remarkable pays off – mediocrity doesn’t.

On the topic of remarkable, when it comes to marketing, Seth Godin is a must read blogger on the topic. He rarely fails to deliver with consistent thought provoking posts, this one related to eBay.

Whats my bike worth?

Go onto eBay and check the completed listings. To do this – click on Advanced search, type in what you’re looking for and check the completed listings box.

Advanced search, name of item, completed listings - search.

This will give you a great indication of what your bike is worth and what you could expect to get for it.
