What began as a class project for the Johnson School at Cornell Universitys Entrepreneurship and Private Equity class for MBA 07 student Colin Dreizin has grown into a new business aimed at ensuring the luxury goods you buy on eBay are authentic. For online buyers and sellers of luxury jewelry and watches on eBay and other online auction sites, Colinsworth Authentication has launched www.colinsworth.com, a site that utilizes a network of east- and west-coast authentication experts to guarantee the legitimacy of the luxury items offered for auction.
Rather than follow the road most traveled and pursue a traditional summer internship in between his first and second years at the Johnson School, Colin spent the summer researching the market and developing his business model. This break gave him an opportunity to decide if he enjoyed being his own boss with the safety of knowing he could take advantage of on- and off-campus recruiting during the following academic year should he decide it wasnt for him.
Launching a new venture while at business school also gives students access to a variety of free or cheap resources not available to non-matriculated entrepreneurs. Colin began by conferring with Brad Treat, the Johnson Schools Entrepreneur-in-Residence, who provided knowledge essential to successful start-ups and later joined the Colinsworth advisory board. Cornell alumna such as Howard Morgan of Idealab improved his insight into the entrepreneurial process and in-depth discussions with other alumna, such as Steven Gal of ID Analytics, allowed him to further refine and improve his ideas.

Each businessman has to deal with both sections of people, one from whom he has to procure goods for manufacturing or direct sale and secondly with his customers. Buying and selling today is not as easy as it had been in the past.. Because of the modern mans growing greed, a lot of haggling, deceiving, misrepresentation of facts, cheating and a number of dubious activities are applied to grab as much money as one can. Besides having good knowledge of the quality and standard of goods, as also of the competitive prices, perhaps the most important thing while buying goods
