144 Stores
How "wildly disparate" from the 939 stores in October 2006.

The tally is closer to 110 stores as seen in early January 2008. Not too wildly disparate with this comparison.Â

Quote:From looking at the charts, it appears as if iOffer may be getting Bidville's refugees not WP.
iOffer, Ecrater, and BuyItSellIt seem to be the 3 main beneficiaries of BV's closing. I don't think many sellers will pay $29.95 for WP's 47K monthly visitors when they can get a free store on iOffer (619K visitors).

Looks like Plunderhere is benefiting as well. Go figure.
On one hand I am surprised at the number of 'founding members' that have left recently. On the other, I don't blame them for calling it quits.
The June bloodbath, as Sneaky likes to call it, will be brutal. I predict any store with inventory valued under $100.00 will bail or become a non-paying miscreant in the purge. The home page of WP was changed today to reflect the new pricing. This change though will most likely be a shock to those who signed up within the last week to 10 days. I say this because I bet most of them weren't aware it was coming. I suspect Boinktard will have his drop shipping stores up and running by the time the accounts pass the due date.
I think a few of them, the drop shipper stores, have already been registered and are waiting in the wings. I've logged 3 new but empty stores that would fit the bill.

250 Stores at $10 a month: $2500
144 Stores at $30 a month: $4320
$1820 Raise in one month. Very few people nearly double their income in a month.
Not a bad month for an amateur scammer.

And you haven't factored in the new rates for showcase and featured stores. Add another $390 based on the current subscribers. Ca-ching!!
