There are a handful of companies who are competing hard in the business of offering online tools and software to help people survive in the online auction business. One company who has gained significant ground in the past few months is mpire (www.mpire.com). They started off with an eBay listing tool that is subscription based. Most recently, however, mpire launched a new Research tool that they have now extended to mobile phones. With Researcher Mobile you can use your cell phone to instantly find out what things are actually selling for on eBay before you buy. The tool is handy if, for instance, you’re in a store and want to know if something is a good deal or not, i.e. can you get it cheaper on eBay. Or maybe you are looking at purchasing something that you want to resell on eBay. This tool will quickly give you the knowledge and information about whether it’s worth buying it and whether you’ll make enough profit.

The service is a  free beta trial right now. Some of the other features this service offers are:
  • Percent sold: Wouldn’t you like to know how likely an item is to sell before you buy it to re-sell on eBay? Now you can! Researcher Mobile will tell you the % of items that sold for any item.
  • Average selling price: Is the price tag on the item a steal? Is the item at the right price to make money if you sell it on eBay. In a snap, Researcher Mobile will tell you how much you can get for any item on eBay.
  • Number of items: Is that item a one in a million or one of millions like it? Researcher Mobile will tell you how many matching items were successfully sold on eBay.
  • Much more: Researcher Mobile also gives you the top keywords, best day and time to sell, average starting price and more – all from your cell phone.
