每逢百貨公司週年慶的時候，正是促銷大戰打得最激烈的時候爆量的人潮，目的僅有一個：搶購限量商品。近幾年許多知名品牌更極盡所能的操作「限量商品」，除了維繫品牌認同外，用「限量」來製造消費的危機感、刺激買氣，似乎已成為例行行銷策略中，不可或缺的一環。
網拍市場的龐大商機，造成了網路中間商的興起，因而本篇研究將限量策略與日漸成長的網路中間商來做探討，透過本篇研究了解到製造商限量策略中不同的影響因子如︰交易複雜度、數量稀少性、配銷廣度、限量訊息能見度、商品識別性等因子，如何影響網路中間商販售限量商品的取得成本、溢價能力、資訊不對稱與競爭強度因子，進而影響到其套利利益。
本研究回收有效問卷170 份，經過統計分析之後，研究結果發現：
一、交易複雜度與取得成本具有正向顯著關係。
二、交易複雜度與溢價能力具有正向顯著關係。
三、數量稀少性與溢價能力具有負向顯著關係。
四、配銷廣度與資訊不對稱具有負向顯著關係。
五、配銷廣度與競爭強度具有正向顯著關係。
六、資訊不對稱與溢價能力具有正向顯著關係。
七、溢價能力與套利空間具有正向顯著關係。
八、競爭強度與套利空間具有負向顯著關係。

Department store’s anniversary always appeals a lot of people, this crowds gathering together are only for a reason: limited product. In the recent years, there are countless brands doing their best to manipulate the “limited-edition product.” “Limited-edition policy” can not only maintain the brand’s identity, it has also seemed to be an indispensable way in the marketing strategy for the following reasons: to produce the consuming crisis, and to stipulate the consumer’s desire.

The numerous opportunities in the internet auction marketplace has lead the rising of cybermediary. Therefore this study focused on the limited strategy and cybermediary. Through this study do we come to realize the factors which may lead to different limited strategies, such as transaction complexity , scarcity , distribution extension, signal visibility of limited-edition product and product identifiability etc. And how these factors affect the acquisition cost for the goods, price premium , asymmetric information and competitive intensity of limited-edition product, then finally the arbitrage space for the cybermediary.

170 questionnaires were collected as valid samples. After statistical analysis, the findings of the study are as follows：
1. Transaction complexity has a positive significant effect on acquisition cost.
2. Transaction complexity has a positive significant effect on price premium.
3. Scarcity has a negative significant effect on price premium.
4. Distribution extension has a negative significant effect on asymmetric information.
5. Distribution extension has a positive significant effect on competitive intensity.
6. Asymmetric information has a positive significant effect on price premium.
7. Price premium has a positive significant effect on arbitrage space.
8. Competitive intensity has a negative significant effect on arbitrage space.
