格價維基

有報導說,消委會準備改變做法,改為每星期落區格價,並可能徵集『師奶』,甚至招募學生義工幫忙。

有報導說,有超市對格價人士採不合作態度,後來辯稱是誤會。

第一件事是好事,第二件事幾乎可以預計會發生!

且慢,我們可否每日不停格價?可否利用各傳媒,政黨,民間組織的力量?可否防止不合作情況?

為甚麼不採用維基(wiki)模式,充分利用民眾力量(crowd-sourcing)格價?

維基模式一個可能壞處,是被人惡意破壞,或提供假消息。但只要稍作改動,由專人格價的項目,不容隨便更改。讓用家可以得知準確的專人格價和快捷的「民間」資訊。

維基的好處,除了可以動用更多人手外,還有:

可以建立較民主的機制,更新貨品的種類;

讓一些漏網的平貨,可以盡快公告天下-當然,小不免有人趁機賣廣告,但這是可容忍的;

當每一個人都是潛在的格價者,就沒有所謂不合作了!

Wiki

香港沒然公平競爭法﹐若果真係有格價網頁﹐財雄勢大的超市可以很易容用predicate pricing﹐打殘所有小商店。超市只要參考格價網作出即時調整﹐轉價格不過是入電腦按幾個掣﹐很容易。小商店連最後生存空間都冇理。

Exactly!

誰可以抗衝超市? 就是不想被超市控制的批發商或發行商。Web2.0的其中一個夢想, 就是要減去middleman, 賣家和買家都可以有更大利潤。現在已有團體直接聯絡供應商, wiki是減輕尋找相應資訊的一個法門!

對於小商人, 只可以說句「對不起」。

Walmart

誰可以抗衡惠康同百佳﹖叫香港政府引入Walmart這個超級超級市場﹐保證everyday low price。

回應:Walmart

Walmart不是從未踏足過香港的。
它在1994年曾進入香港市場,但短短兩年後便撤出了。
可算是典型的「過江龍不敵地頭蟲」。

another issue: timing

basically agree with 韋言. And there're already some price comparison websites in HK, they adopt wiki concept, asking the public to help update price..undeniably, they created the atmosphere, they gathered the power from the public..but they cant control a very important issue for comparing, ie. timing.
imagine that a volunteer may just contribute when he's free..once a week, twice a month...there's no guarantee on their update freq., the result is volunteers collected thousands items, thousands prices..but they are from different times, some are a week ago, some are a month ago..how can we compare price1 (from week1) from shop1 with price2 (from week2) from shop2? unfair!
wiki may be a possible approach but the model has to be fine tuned to make the whole thing workable
we are building a similar project:

we ll provide 專人格價 to update item prices of THE SAME TIME and will accept public's contribution soon..hope to build a really workable solution, hope to contribute to the public, advices are welcomed!
