I'd love it if you had a winner every week. I just hope I never win. Usually there's someone, somewhere doing an absoutely fabulous business of driving off customers.

Boinktard - what a great idea.  I'm sure this one will be filled with many Boinktards in no time.  Laughing7

Ah, yet another auction site whose user agreement is governed by the laws of "YOUR STATE HERE"  Happy001  :Smile

https://bidwhale.com/auctionhelp/Agreement.htm

Privacy policy?  very vague...bits and pieces scattered throughout the user agreement.

BidWhale's owner should read the comments that the developer of Auction-Script (the script that powers BidWhale) made about the script's inability to handle more than a few thousand listings.

Quote:I've noticed slowdowns on the main page with 2000 items...

..I really doubt it would handle that [10,000 items] in the flat file format

That's another thing that irks me, these people who start auction sites and go rah rah all over the place promoting how their site is the greatest and join us because we care and put a lot of time and effort into our site but when you check it out and you see something like that it is obviously they didn't even fully read their own agreement to know to change that.  A real Boinktard for sure.

Re: This Week's Boinktard of the Week Award Winners: Auxions.com and BidWhale.com
the bids are interesting, but the bidder who is bidding on all 4 auctions is even more interesting:

http://www.bidwhale.com/cgi-bin/feedback.pl?action=feedback&user=Cristianbuyer

Quote:Error: Cristianbuyer is not a registered user.

...and yet this person who is not a registered user has bids on active auctions.
