AM has some real winners, doesn't it? You've got the guy selling pirated DVDs, the owner spamming and pumping the numbers, another Seller quoting scripture while selling hand-coded scripts that just happened to come out of a box, a cheerleader who copy/pasted a PSU wannabe site that he now ignores and a fake Examiner writing copy/pasted fake articles. The big deal is a big lie.
Ooooh Yeah!

How dare you accuse him of not selling a hand coded site! It was hand coded, just not by him.

Quote: Established Online Auction Website Turbo-Auction.com Is For Sale
I guess the new rinky dink "established" criteria is 400 auctions, 32 users, no Compete, Alexa, or Quantcast traffic analyzing even available for such a low traffic site, 2 pages indexed by Google... oh, and the utter impossibility of a chance in hell of installing a remotely effective shared SSL with the $75 script.
Oh, thank you very much for that explanation, Xamer!

Today at 1 PM (13 hundred hours for the military types) I had another transaction with the invoice number 1019530.....181 transactions in less than 25 hours....based on past quick looks I have done, that is almost triple the norm....and the membership count has been rising pretty quickly too....

If you subtract the sales of the 2 large cell phone accessories sellers from that total you're left with a site whose sales aren't that impressive...even including those 2 sellers 181 daily sales isn't impressive and indicates the actual site wide sell through rate isn't much better than any other small alternative's STR (compare AM to AlsoShop: 180/180,000 [on a good day] vs 20/28,000 [average day]).
How can a site be a "viable eBay alternative" when the total number of daily sales on a good day is less than what many individual sellers sell daily? (2 examples: jay.and.marie receive 600+ feedbacks per day, TT's valleygirl ships over 200 orders per day, and there are dozens of other examples of individual sellers whose worst days are better than AM's best days.

1,700 items isn't enough to generate sales on a site with the best SEO and google exposure on the planet? :
and the real funny part is she says that about every site and has been saying it for almost a year now on AM.
Maybe if she quit going to PSU all day to correct peoples spelling, and hijacking threads with meaningless things that pertain nothing to the topic at hand... she just might get her "stores" (all 15 of them) up to speed...
But I doubt that will ever happen :turkey2:

Don't forget all the time she spends on OSU talking to the 20 or so active members. And don't forget the time it takes her to moderate the AM master programmer's (that can program like a whiz) Proboards forum (kind of funny they are in the same city) And don't forget all the times she wandered around Amazon spamming for Wagglepop, and cheering on new sellers at WP. She has no time left apparently to make money, only to critique and spam.

It takes at least 15000 cell phone accessories, or 1400 pirated movies (force-anime on AM) to take advantage of the Google exposure properly.
