Tanya,

 

I was intrigued by it so I signed up for the free trial. Have you taken advantage of that yet? And if so, was it easy to use?

Subject: [Publib] "Price It!" Gale Database Usage and Feedback?

 

 Hi all in Library-Land,

 

My library is thinking about getting Price It! from Gale. We think it would be popular in our community but we aren't sure. GP, TX is a town of about 164,000 people SW of Dallas, TX. We have a large Hispanic and African American communities and patrons of both low and high incomes. I already have a few patrons using the computers to sell on Ebay. One man did need help setting a price for his item.

 

Is anyone out there using this? Have you had good usage stats? Positive feedback from customers? Successful sales on Ebay from patrons who have used the service to set a price? Has it been a negative experience, aka not worth the investment?

 

Any recommendations are welcome.

 

Thank you,
