My oh my oh my….. since I haven’t been around in a couple months, I decided to stop in this morning and get caught up on all the happenings and un-happenings on this, my favorite of all, threads on TT.
Imagine my surprise when I saw that I was more than 10 pages behind in reading and that it would take me all morning of my day off to actually read thru the posts and then off course, (hee hee), add my own opinions of what has transpired. Here are my thoughts on my mornings readings (I actually had to take notes to be sure I didn’t miss anything…):
1. UserÂ… ItÂ’s so nice to know that no matter how nutty this crazy olÂ’ world gets, some things never change. The fact that you still believe that most seller left WP due to nonpayment gives me that fuzzy warm feeling in the pit of my tummy because I know that I can come back in another 2 months and things will be just as I left them here. It creates a sense of normalcy in my life and for that, I truly thank you. I love that you call yourself a veteran after 20 months of trying to sell on WP. Makes me giggle.Â
2. $50 entry feeÂ….. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAÂ
3. PS and User still think that WP attracted “Bad” initial sellers that didn’t stay more than 30 days… (pssst… they were the smart ones…)
4. I loved the post about listing challenges and the other poster saying no… that was classic. Was that post eventually deleted?
5. The fact that Andray feels the need to flounce his debt and expenses for no other purpose than hoping someone will feel bad… Hey!!! POPPERMASTER…. It’s called STARTING A BUSINESS!!! You frigging moron!!!!
6. Oh and USER, you mentioned that as a veteran, you are sitting back comfortablyÂ… I was cracking up on this one because I knew the only way you were sitting back as a wannabe seller on WP is with your feet in the stirrups while Andray roots around your insides for just one more months store rent!!!Â
7. Powerseller, I sell on Amazon and do quite well so if your only making over a dollar per transaction, you’re doing it wrong… and I must ask… What’s the point? So you’re little comparison did little to impress me. All it really says is, “I have no idea what I’m doing… and I can prove it!!”
8. Actually PS, you had me laughing a few pages back when you asked DB if she wanted a list of everything you ate and drank or something like that… That was funny… so I decided that if DB wasn’t going to request it then yes… I do want that list… in meal order starting with your most recent meal eaten. If you’re going to be sarcastic, you should watch what you say… someone might call you on it.
9. BBH… I was reading your buyer vs. seller counts for WP and actually I think the number is the same… sellers buying from other sellers. I’d be surprised if there were more than 300 people that actually buy there that don’t sell there too.
10. I would rather stick pins in my eyes than reactivate my account at WP.
11. WTP should be WTF... THAT was funny!!!!Â
12. "Wagglepop store = easiest and most efficient and cost effective way to get the best search engine exposure"............... OK... I have to admit, this one made me throw up in my mouth a little... but I'm OK...
In closing, I would like to once again reiterate (that means “repeat” for PS and USER’s benefits) that I did not leave WP for non-payment, I was kicked out for asking when they would be advertising the site. It was the best thing that ever happened to me.
So you may ask… what have I been up to the last couple of months? Well… I’m working (out of the home) and loving it, I sell on Amazon, my own site and eBay but soon will be closing my eBay store and sticking with auctions only. Amazon is a lot of fun and I really enjoy it… I buy a lot there too so feel free to PM me your store name and I’ll check you out!! I'm sorry to say that I am more of a hobby seller now rather than full time but I'm ok with that. I love my job and enjoy my work so it's all good. I still get that little pang of happiness when I get the "Item Sold" emails and wouldn't ever give it up totally. I also hang out at the Crabby forums which are a lot of fun!!
I really enjoy this thread... don't let it die!! Sorry this is so long but hey... I am long winded!!!!!Â
Man! I missed you guys!!!!Â
