- Loyalty. I'm still using Groupon. I haven't joined with anything else and have bought from them a time or two.
- Lazyness. I would not go to another site to sell my Groupon deal. It just isn't worth my time. I'll take the loss.
- Expensive. $0.99 + 8% of sale? No.
- Poor business model. They are betting that there are a load of people needing to offload Groupon, etc. deals? Odds are those people will just give them to someone else or sell them themselves to someone they know. While there is a need for this, I am sure that it just wouldn't be enough to sustain the effort/time required to handle support, site maintenance, etc.
