Powerseller,Â
I you are not user, than I do apologise.  I did not expose anything about your little group, other than the fact that it exists. Its not like I shared anything personal about the site or who its members are. No one can get into it anyways unless they are invited. You say the group was intended for current WP users only but if that was the case why was it OK to post about other venues sellers were selling on. You just wanted to hush me just like kayray does when he deletes posts he does not like. You did not even have the decency to talk to me about it before you "ended my membership". I had to email you to find out why. I think its really sad that you think people can be so easily influenced by my comments. Are you afraid that they may see that I have some good points? I think deep down you know something is very wrong with WP and how they conduct themselves.

I wanted to set up a place for WP sellers to discuss anything and everything, and that absolutely includes all of the other venues that we're selling on. Â It is great to have a place where we can all share the advantages and disadvantages of many different venues and let each other know what sells well on different sites. Â Contrary to what you think, I really did not want to hush you. Â I left all of your posts in the group except for the very last one. Â I never thought that I would have the need to remove anyone from the group. Â It was clearly for the best to remove you from the group when your posts crossed the line to the point that they would make the group a less inviting place for those of us who like selling on WP. Â Another member commented that if she wanted to read posts like that, she'd read them on TT.
So is Ray resurrecting REAL stores that were closed by their owners or are they stores he has created himself at some time or another?
I know I've seen a seller by the name of Second Chance Gifts on another venue, but I can't remember which one.
Rat,
I can't say for sure; only take a guess. I doubt KaRay spends the time to colour scheme the store and introduce categories. That was most likely done by the original store owner. The store is probably closed by the seller but Ray just empties it and tucks it in his stable of dummies. With two stores I strongly suspect KaRay has made a deal with the original owner. He waives monthly fees in lieu of keeping their store 'alive' on WP.
Now there are stores that KaRay has created. There are a number of traits common to them. To start, no colour scheme, no categories.
Ashat!Â

I've seen second chance gifts on ecrater, ewaey and blujay. Maybe a fee more as well. I would think a few of the sellers who left last year would come back for the grand unopenning. I can't say with absolute proof that those stores are ghost stores. They may be former sellers who came back for more punishment who know's.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. That is a good rule to follow as did many from WP1.

Truth, are those stores for Second Chance active? The WP one was registered July 30, 2006. So if the other venues are actively being used then why is the WP one peeking in and out of obscurity with a maximum of 3 listings at a time?Â
Edited to add: the WP one is in Illinois.

Thanks sneaky!
That list has shrunk in recent weeks. I remember more then 10 active core style listings in early February.
The one that gets me is the link from Bric. I thought they left WP and the mini mall. Maybe we were just led to believe that and they are still there.
Does anyone know if there is a new mini mall or something? Maybe bric is back under a new name?ÂÂ

Truth, when I looked at the listing I figured maybe it was just something she forgot to edit out. At least that's what it looked like to me.
