This Week's Boinktard of the Week Award Winners: Auxions.com and BidWhale.com
Welcome to the 1st installment of our new feature: The Boinktard of the Week Award. :twistedevil:
We have a tie this week between the owners of Auxions.com (site renamed BidPlace.com on 9/13) and BidWhale.com  Auxions.com/BidPlace.com  owner's sales pitch to prospective customers: Quote:If its the concensus of the board that im unwelcome, I'll leave. But please.... rename the forum to eBay talk then... as people seem to be eBay only drones. BidWhale owner's sales pitch to prospective customers: Quote:My site rocks! Just b/c I don't fit in your click of old women no need to peck at me. So There! EDITED TO UPDATE: On 9/13 Auxions.com changed its name to BidPlace.com. They also changed their eBay ID from auxionscom to bidplace_com |

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.
Hmmm, I may need to borrow the "I'm with stupid" smiley  |

Re: This Week's Boinktard of the Week Award Winners: Auxions.com and BidWhale.com
Ah, yet another auction site whose user agreement is governed by the laws of "YOUR STATE HERE"
 :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... http://www.auction-script.com/forum/show...php?t=3278

Ah, yet another auction site whose user agreement is governed by the laws of "YOUR STATE HERE" [/quote] 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.
