All My Life Items Analysis

After viewing several All My Life items and descriptions from John Freyer’s sale listings, the item I chose to compare with other EBay listings was his “Road Trip Cooler tag #000154”. I found a similar item on EBay, the 36 quart Marine Performance Cooler that was slightly used. The similarities are both items are being sold from everyday people. These items are things that you can get the items for a better and cheaper price than an actual store. Both items being auctioned has a description of the item. It also include a picture of the item they were trying to sell. The difference between the two are obvious when you read a description. The Road Trip Cooler, the description is more of a story. The EBay item describes the item itself.
The “Road Trip Cooler” was an old personal cooler that had been well used by John Freyer years ago on road trips. His description of this item is definitely subjective. The item the author listed doesn’t give any actual information on his description, like the brand, name, or size of the cooler. He talks more about the road trips he took with the cooler than about the cooler itself. He talks about the memories the
cooler evoked. The seller of the EBay item was very detailed in the description of the product, like the brand, size, dimension, and origin of the item. It also details the unique features of the cooler. Since the item was pre owned, it stated that the item has a slight dings and scratches. There was no history or personal experiences of the product mentioned in the details and is a good example of objective description.
Each item has its own idea of a marketing scheme.
The seller of the Road Trip Cooler was selling the stories behind it, not just the item itself. People are not just purchasing the cooler; People are purchasing a prop to an adventure someone had taken. An example, the author described how the cooler helped him drive long distance without stopping and how it was filled with cold drinks which got him through the summers because he didn’t have air conditioning in his car. The EBay item, on the other hand, the objective of the listing or ad was to sell the item at hand. It gave the consumers an opportunity to inform and excite buyers by providing a clear picture of the item, and specific, accurate details to increase chances that buyers will find and bid on or buy the item. The objective of the ad was to sell the item at
hand.
I would choose to use both objective and subjective description as basis before I purchase an item. Before I buy a certain product in Amazon, I need to evaluate both the objective and subjective property of that particular item. I like to read the facts first about the product, the size, the weight, what it looked like, and the condition of the item before I make a purchase. This is an example of being objective. I also like to read reviews where customers evaluate the item based on their personal experiences, opinions, or even sentimental value the item brings. For me, this is an example of subjective description.
