Quote:Bye bye Sampler

We’ve removed the Sampler from the site. It had a good run. Why is it gone? The randomizer function was wreaking some serious havoc down below; top sellers & top items were non-functional; recentlys old items was also a troublesome database hit.

Will the sampler ever come back? Maybe, maybe not. For now we’re focusing on getting the rest of the site speedy and stable.

I'm new to Etsy and from what I hear, the Sampler was an invaluable research tool. Many sellers used it to gauge what's selling.

There's lots of frustration that this app isn't back on the site yet.

Since I enjoy the other Web 2.0 tools on the site, I'd really like to get the chance to try the Sampler and I'm hoping they resurrect it.
