Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
I was a little shocked last night when my 14 yr old came in and asked me if I had ever heard of UBid. I said, "Yes, but where did YOU hear about it?" He said he saw a commerical on TV, but couldn't remember what channel. :blinkie:
He hasn't mentioned seeing a Wagglepop ad yet.

I think Then posted these lyrics before. (I THINK - could be just the drugs I'm taking or the wine or... )
Anyhoo, I'm listening to it now and seems so apropos yet again. Gotta love NIN: I believe I can see the future Cause I repeat the same routine I think I used to have a purpose But then again That might have been a dream I think I used to have a voice Now I never make a sound I just do what I've been told I really don't want them to come around Oh, no Every day is exactly the same Every day is exactly the same There is no love here and there is no pain Every day is exactly the same

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Alskling, tell us how you really feel.
Eclectica, the words Ray and genius do not belong in the same sentence. That is an oxymoron. Thentavius, Happy Year of the Red Fire Pig and all good wishes that go with it. The Community board on WP has been a ghost town for quite a while. KaRay has slipped over the edge of reason deleting any and all queries about the advertising he expects everyone to be excited about. He's probably been plagued with withdrawal symptoms because there has been nothing to delete in so long so he's convinced his delete finger that this type of post qualifies. Remember that rah-rah 'how to cultivate a customer base' post I quoted a couple of days ago authored by KaRay? NO ONE has responded to it and that behaviour was unheard of as recently as 4 months ago. There would have been a string of posters agreeing and cheering. Scoop, do you perhaps know the situation with Ginnie's Hand Tools? Her store is empty but still showing. Is she okay? You can PM me if you'd prefer.
The one thing you can never afford to lose is your temper.

Just pushing the delete button makes KaRay look really bad IMO. [/quote] Tazbar not only posted the when as in date and time, but the channels they would be on. They are also archived on youtube just in case you missed them. My biggest doubt about Ray doing any advertising on TV, or any other venture is the cost. He is making way less money now than when he had 900 + stores. He has no investment capital, no partners, etc... Where is he gonna get the cash? It costs a fortune to even run a commercial on TV, I don't care what time of day or channel you are talking about. Even if he paid for one, that wouldn't be enough. Tazbar has an advertising budget that runs all during this year. They also have investment monies behind them. Even Etsy is getting press attention in newspapers, without them having to heavily market the site itself. Etsy is growing and thriving because it is a specialty site, and isn't trying to be Ebay. Ray is lying, and just like others have posted won't answer the questions because when he fails to deliver, he will just issue another supposed release date. |

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
To those wondering about store fees,
I asked a question and was banned... never received another bill. That's what I'd do if you are really worried about it. Or just tell 'em you won't pay. I highly doubt they can do anything but suspend your account (boo hoo). |
