Miles Davis Esay

When comparing and contrasting the All My Life for Sale and Ebay websites, both have interesting ways in capturing potential buyers interest. When giving a description of Miles Davis record Bitches Brew, All My Life used subjective descriptions to sway buyers to purchase the record. This was entertaining to read however vague about the facts of the album. He simply rambled on about a documentary on jazz history and how jazz purists’ state “Miles Davis is a sell out”. For someone who is unfamiliar with the musician, this is not a great way to get him or her to buy. Whereas on Ebay they used objective descriptions of the album to entice consumers. They use facts about the album such as “This was Miles Davis first gold record. It sold more than a half million copies”. …show more content…
The Ebay seller used objective descriptions and a lot of visuals. The audience he appears to be trying to reach is the avid record collector and/or Miles Davis fan. By using visuals the collector can see the pristine condition the record is in. While the Miles Davis fan will know the history of the musician and know that this record is an absolute gem to have. The seller at All My Life for Sale seems to be trying to attract budding music enthusiasts. His subjective description of the album leaves potential buyers wanting to watch a documentary on jazz history not necessarily wanting to buy the album.

They type of description that would most likely make me want to buy the Miles Davis album would depend on what type of buyer I was. If I were the avid jazz enthusiast or vintage record collector, Ebay would be the site I chose to buy from. The descriptive information, while not entertaining, is exactly what I’m looking for. For the budding music/jazz enthusiast, I might go with All My Life for Sales subjective description of the album. It’s silly, light hearted, it says, hey buy me,
