I was just doing some casual browsing of the boards at Pop Land. I noticed a thread that is being ignored by everyone there. No one has posted to it except for the OP. It's an interesting read if anyone is able to still access Pop Land.

race I read it and very interesting. I have noticed that many of the posts recently that question WP seem to contain info. or at least recap what is being said on TT. I also have noticed the number of lurkers has risen quite a bit since you and the other folks joined up here and are posting. Overall the boards on WP are dead. :blinkie:

Sweet, love what you wrote! Hello2

I have a few stretched out bra's as well, but I wouldn't exactly call them 'over the shoulder boulder holders'. No big cups here.....but could fill the cups with lots of stones Happy001

chiquita, I've noticed that too. Maybe some eyes are being opened...slowly and one at a time. We can only hope for that magical moment when they read something that makes the hair on the back of their neck stand up and makes them start realizing that something isn't quite right in Pop Land. Then they will do some research like myself and many other sellers and buyers did and realize they are being duped into lining Ray's pockets with their hard earned money.

WAGGLEFACT OF THE DAY

BLINDED BY THE VISION

Dedicated to all expoppers

VISION:
The idea of leaving a venue that over charges for listing fees to start at a new venue for minimal cost per month.

FACT - Everyone who sells online no matter new or old has heard of the big site. They are who they are and rightfully so. We all wish our operating costs were next to nothing. Most of us have sold on the big site and some will continue to sell there as I do (I am in no way trying to promote them only proving the facts). We have seen the costs to operate there and as we do NOT AGREE with the costs we must say that we all have made money on that site. The buyers are there and they will stay there until someone can convince them to leave for cheaper prices elsewhere. What WP offers is blinding, Ray knows it and he takes advantage of you because of it. The vision of lower operating costs at a new venue 100% trust based is hard to pass up without some good research before (I think the research is getting easyer to do because of threads like TT). We all want lower operating costs with the same or more sales if we didn't we wouldn't be smart business people if we didn't.

Making the poor desicion to join wagglepop does not make you a bad business person, however it makes you a better one once and only after you have left that venue. We have learned a good lesson in regards to business and that is tread lightly at first.

To those of you which chose not to join in the first place pat yourself on the back you made a great desicion from a business standpoint.

To those of you who are still on the fence or are still there walk out the gate and don't look back!!!

By the way the vision for all ex-poppers for 2007 is a much brighter one than wp's

I love the Wagglefact of the day. I thought the store count was way below 700 now. If so, are they still at break even. Probably so, with the new ad program.

I checked the link and I can't believe it is still there!

Quote:Wow, I never ceased to be amazed by Karen and company's reasoned and open-minded approach to our issues.

I ran across this and was just wondering if it is correct to say that this is an oxymoron written by a moron.

Truth, I don't think I have said this to you yet (sorry :-[), but your wagglefact's of the day is an awesome idea.

All of us working together to help the members of Pop Land see the truth is an awesome thing we are doing. I will do what I can to help them see what is really going on there.

Save the Poppers, Save the World. (Sorry, couldn't resist that. I'm a Hero's watcher)!
