I think that the rating systems that are empowered by customers are great sources of information for consumers who are looking to purchase a product. For consumers to read a product review, they can figure out why or why not the product is a good selection and if someone had a really good or really bad experience with the product. Consumers really are the best judges of the products because they are the ones that take the product into their home setting and test it there. Although, I would be hesitant to buy a product with only 1 or 2 reviews.
Pool Speakers - I was looking to buy these over the summer and didn't because they all got very poor reviews. This specific one only has one review but after looking at a couple of different versions, I got the feeling that these speakers were not worth the money.
UGGS - Just by searching for UGGS on ebay, you can see that they are a very popular product because of the abundance of them!
Good examples. I'm not sure anyone makes great pool speakers unless you pay a significant price. I'm not sure how I feel about used shoes. via blogs, I've heard a lot of positive things about Zappos.com as a store...the buzz can happen on its own, too, and not just within a rating system, as you've pointed out with Uggs on EBay.
