$9.95 with a limit of 100 listings per month for entry level stores
$19.95 with unlimited listings for regular stores Showcase and featured stay the same.

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
I'll say $20 for the store, $40 for featured, $50 for showcase, and $60 for both featured/showcase.
I'd rather rent a ProStore...

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
I am going to be bold with my prediction. I have a strong feeling looking back at what has transpired over the past nearly 2 years. I believe that the so called $75,000 for advertising was a reality in that Ray Refied his house and cashed in. Problem is being from the area I would suspect Ray's property taxes come to at least $10,000 a year, compounded with the high interest rate he is bound to be paying and the devaluation of homes in this area, Ray's monthly nut for the house has to be a cool $3,400 or so. Big troubles in waggleland IMO, why else would he move the original restructuring date forward to June the 1st from Oct. 1st and at one time maybe sooner?
Monthly store option first 100 stores = N/A instead a yearly fee of $299.95 (Ray needs one last hit before he R.I.P.'s it again). Yearly store fee's above 100 stores = $449.95 Let the Truth be Told |

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Very interesting prediction, Truth -- one that makes a lot of sense.
I, too, am convinced there are major $$$ problems in Poopland. The creation of the Oct. ax date was merely a last-ditch attempt to fire up the faithfull's butts into action by threatening cuts and fee increases if they didn't do their job of luring more naive sellers into Ray's web of deceit after the big non-exodus from eBay proved fruitless. The current lack of enthusiasm for spamathons, listing contests, pinning flyers at truck stops and whatever other dopey things Poopers have done in the past to "spread the word" couldn't have been very reassuring to Ray. So, knowing full well droves of new sellers would not be forthcoming, Ray announced a May 2 ax date and blamed (who else) the faithful for their inability to rally a plethera of new recruits into the fold to replace the hundreds of "deadbeats" and miscreants who got fed up with Ray's BS and blew the pop stand. My observation: There are now 80 stores ONLY with over 100 items. A good percentage of those show very few sales and are stocked with items selling under $10. I am hard-pressed to believe these sellers would be willing to shell out $450 to warehouse their items on WP for a year, unless Ray holds some kind of carrots before their noses -- like promising to buy Google ad words or something for those loyal stupid enough to part with $$hundreds more they don't have to keep Ray in fuzzy slippers for another year. But then, many in Poopland swim against the current of basic business sense. In any case, I think auctions on WP will be history. Anybody else with a prediction? |

The announcement will be delayed. WP's nameservers are down and the site is currently unreachable.

OOPS - Maybe he actually pulled the plug. Very convenient timing that you can't get into the site right at the time the big announcement was to be made.

Naturally no explanation for the 4 hours of downtime. The downtime sent at least one Popper Cheerleader into a panic. From Google Blog Search--the post has since been deleted from the AllThingWagglepop blog

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Wagglepop LLC's dropshipped items will compete against sellers' items for buyers
seller Wrote:the marketshare is confusing. Because we all know there are a lot of areas that nobody is selling in now. But if we decide to go into one of them, will we then be in direct competition with WP's dropshipped items. It is interesting that you say if they are looking for a tv they will find one. I'll be interested to see how that all works. AndRay Wrote:Marketshare will not be competition any more, or any less, than your existing fellow merchants are.
