AuctionBytes Industry Profile: Jim and Crystal Wells-Miller of OTWA
July 25, 2004, Issue #123
AuctionBytes is running a series of interviews with people who have had an impact in the online-auction industry in order to get their views on the current state of the auction world. In today's Industry Profile, we interview Jim and Crystal Wells-Miller who founded OTWA in 1999. Their vision was to create a place online where people could meet and visit with other online sellers and share their workday. In Adam Cohen's book, "The Perfect Store," Cohen says eBay viewed OTWA as a barometer of community sentiment, and the opinions expressed on the OTWA and AuctionWatch boards "could literally change eBay policy." OTWA is the oldest, largest, non-affiliated OAI message forum on the Internet, and many auction users go to OTWA to get their "fix" of business networking and socializing.
