This is the first time I've seen a listing management service have a campout. 

Quote:Greetings all!

We are proud to announce finalization of plans for the 2006 AOB Campout. This is the first of what will become an annual event. The dates are 7-9 July 2006, but early set-up and extended stays on the grounds can be arranged. Cost is $40 per single adult, $70 per family. Vendors are welcome to attend for no additional charge, but please let us know you are coming and how much vending space you would require.

I can't say enough good things about Rodger and Michelle and their service.    I'd love to make it up there for the campout - just not sure yet if that is going to happen. 

Every so often, Rodger sends out update emails - letting users know the status of what is going on, recent changes, anticipated changes, and thanking us for our business. 

It's pretty much a love fest over there.    You'd have to dig pretty deep to find a thread like this on the eBay boards.  (Well, you might, but I certainly wouldn't have posted on it!)

Go to the eBay Live board...  :blinkie:

It's good that there's a good alternative listing service (well except they don't support GEMM) in case I need to switch from Fillz...like if the new owners (Abebooks) decide to end the special grandfathered rates.

I expect we'll get a lot of refugees at AOB if ABE ends the grandfathered rate at Fillz. 

I hadn't read the Amazon board thread before today.  The Amazon boards always remind me of the eBay PowerSeller board and that thread was no exception.  :

I read an interview with him.    The difference between him and the corporate drones who run MarketWorks is amazing.  He reminded me of the Craigslist people (which is a good thing).

I didn't get to go. 

Start planning for next year.
