POLL ANSWER
I think I'll have to agree with Mandy on this one... WP is already closed... Ray is just sucking the life out of the sellers for as long as he can... and then POOF... and I bet... with no warning whatsoever. Â
Imagine if you were a seller there that never got involved in reading the boards or watching the store counts. Â Imagine if one day, the venue you sell on just disappears and you have no clue as to why. Â Hmmm... interesting.

F. He packed it in when he announced Karen's "departure". Ray's pride will keep WP2 open indefinitely because he doesn't want to be regarded as a two time failure but WP2 has now entered the land of theauctionman.net (TAM) - the doors are open but the owner has left the building.

Face it people. Ray has left WP on auto hamster, went to home depot and is now a stock boy. Cha ching, cha ching, cha ching.

I still think he drove his Cougar down to Mexico and is drinking 50 cent margaritas from a lounge chair in Ensenata. He could never "lower" himself to EARNING a day's wage. Â
After leaving WP on auto-hamster he set his "parental control" feature to automatically block and delete all emails, posts and CC questions containing the words or phrases "marketing," "cult", "closing", "discouraged", "lack of", "why", Â "no", "cannot connect", "leaving", "wondering why". Â From his laptop in Ensenada, he simply logs into TT once or twice a day to check up on WP.
Has anyone else noticed on page 8 of the stores - there's a store there, no name, no description, no nothing, but it has 1 item? I noticed the store count went from 190 to 191 earlier - could it be he's too lazy to even make up a name for his new made up store?

It's one of the emptied stores from yesterday.  Since the store name text and description text were removed, there is nothing to display. It looks like one of the items renewed itself overnight, that's why it shows one item.  If you view source of that page, you can see it there.  It's the "Best from Me to You" store or something like that.

From the postings regarding "I have tried to contact customer care...etc." I would have to say it may be on auto-pilot. Sad sad sad.
I wonder if we will ever hear from the cheerleaders if he just pulls the plug one day??
I know a lot of the cheerleaders at least have stuff at other venues (which always made me question why cheerlead for WP?), but like Plataski said, what about those cheerleaders who don't often get to the boards? Poor things!!Â

Okay... so it did up the count then? Wonder if this seller knows they still had a couple active listings.

Don't know her personally really - emailed back and forth while on the bay - but I know one seller there who this will happen to I think. She has a store and that's as far as her participation goes unless she has a sale... and we all know how much time those demand of our attention on WP.

This is just a guess but I think the store owner is under the impression that by removing all the store related info from her site that this listing (and it's a brand new one going by the number) is a stand alone one.
If someone here, member or lurker knows her (I think her name is Frances) I would recommend they let here know how it is being displayed. And that technically her store is still active and she will be charged for it on the 10th.
Again I ask if anyone as bought from one of
the "ghost stores".
Are their inventory real??
