We, Gen Y, have the information, insight and connections to harness ourselves some rather impressive purchasing power.

Already we use tools like Trade me, to help establish market price and demand. Price Spy to inform us on competitive retail pricing and of course, there’s the ever present forms of social media (facebook, twitter, blogs) that we use to seek out recommendation from the people we trust.
