Quote:I also prefer to deal with folks who direct sellers to superior places where they can actually make money, not just be forum junkies.
If you're interested in selling rather than chatting I'd avoid OAI forums when seeking selling advice. If the venue doesn't have a forum it will never be recommended on an OAI forum. 3 examples: Buy.com Marketplace, Pricegrabber Storefronts, and NewEggMall.
[FYI, TT is an OTI forum (Online Trolls and Infiltrators) not an OAI forum

Quote:With all the hype over big deal sites like Atomic Mall, I can't seem to find anything but criticism by PSU cheerleaders in a marketplace like Overstock Auctions, who delivers 4 unique visitors for every auction listing and apparently now has a 10 day total site sell through rate higher than eBay.
Here is a great example:
http://auctions.overstock.com/cgi-bin/au...AGE=SEARCH&TYPE=4&BYSELL=missyd
10 items, 5 bids.
No, here is a great(er) example
6 items, 176 bids. :blinkie:
http://auctions.overstock.com/cgi-bin/au...AGE=SEARCH&TYPE=4&BYSELL=bitonjewelers&CID=140837
EDIT:
Too many bids to count on this seller's items
http://auctions.overstock.com/cgi-bin/au...AGE=SEARCH&BYSELL=empireliquidators&TYPE=4&SORT=7
That seller has received approximately 13,500 feedback comments in the past 12-months on Overstock (and from eBay alt cheerleaders we know that most off-eBay buyers don't leave feedback
) and has had 79,234 sales on O since joining on 10/15/07 (
http://auctions.overstock.com/cgi-bin/au...AGE=MYHOME&USRID=21050883). From PSU this weekend (
http://www.powersellersunite.com/about27569.html) we know that AtomicMall has had approximately 16,664 sales in the past 12 months...that's 16,664 sales split between 500-odd storeowners.
How can a site be a "viable alternative to eBay" if one O seller has had more sales than it in the past year?

The most critical forum moderator (aka the OSU plagiarist) of non-ssl auction sites started a paid image hosting service: NO SSL on the site, NO CONTACT NAME/ADDRESS/PHONE NUMBER on the site. No expenses spared when building the infrastructure for his FlickR/Photobucket killer: a shared server with 692 other sites

AM cheerleaders love PSU's blue cards and AM's owner loves posting in PSU's Bonanzle forum. He's like all the rinky dink owners who tried to drum up business by posting in the FAS Wagglepoop forum during WP1 Wagglemania.

There is good advice to members that reminds them of a way to rid this site of malcontents.

AtomicMall's shiny Proboards forum has a new moderator!

"[/size][size=14px]You just made THAT up. Listen, I seriously think you're a complete nutcase, and think most of your posts are way too far 'out there' to even justify a response. Do NOT put words in my mouth saying "she's admitted to everything I've ever said". That is crazy. Please refrain from making any mention of me at all in your posts from now on (here and elsewhere on the www)." [/size][size=14px]-AtomicMall forum moderator[/size]
What's even more pathetic is that moderator will be sitting on Atomic Malls forums for hours a day in exchange for 2 sales per month. Now, that's sad.
I guess Atomic Mall was so eager to improve feedback scores that he forgot this would show exactly how many sales members were getting. Thank Mike!
Hot Damn! A new poll!

This list should answer that question.

Wow! Look at all the smilies!
Did anyone notice that punk hacker .\\ike removed the 550 EMPTY Stores he was including in his Store directory before Discount925 caught him pumping his numbers?
