Observing the evolution of Reseller Ratings (RR) over the years has been interesting.

The ratings of on-line e-commerce firms has been helpful to me and when I have had good experiences with a non-listed firm I added it to the RR ratings.

One observation. Reviews may have to be taken with the proverbial salt grain. I had multiple excellent experiences for several years with an on-line seller of used music CDs. Every used CD looked akin to new and nary a mistake ever made with the order. Yet, another reviewer lambasted the firm. Was it a competing on-line firm that added that negative? Could a cohort of folks lie to influence ratings, either to make a firm appear positive or negative?

That may be a defect with the reviewing plan as implemented by RR. If only work computers were used a tech-type may be able to view a common source but what with so many folks having Web access at home it may be difficult to determine a mass effort to make one's employer appear good or a competitor appear bad.
