This time I didn't puke in my mouth just a little...    This time it was mass quantities.

Do these people really believe that Ray has $500k in his back pocket?  OMG!  

Now I've seen it all...

Exactly, especially when he was singing the blues about not having two nickels to rub against to advertise his own piss-poor excuse for an auction venue and blaming deadbeats for his financial woes. 

Edit: Just a thought, but maybe the below announcement:

We have had multiple inquiries in Customer Care about our contact with UBid about the possibility of purchasing Bidville and the costs associated with that. I thought I would share some of the particulars about that for discussion and information.

was a sneaky attempt at a passion play/whine, in the hopes that some independently wealthy or well-connected Pooper could be his benefactor and provide Ray with a fat check. Remember when Ray whined back in the fall of 2006 and almost had a "loyal to the end, red and blue" Pooper writing a free and clear $10,000 check to Ray?

Sorry DB... I have to disagree on that point.  Just the term wealthy or well-connected pooper says it all.  Would they be selling on WP if they were wealthy or well-connected??    And don't get too hung up on the $10k promise from before... remember people can say whatever they want but actually writing a $10,000 check and handing it to someone is a whole different ball o'wax!  We knew it was BS then and it's still a load of crap!

I believe its just more that Ray likes to act like a big shot. The fact that these people believe he's got that much money is all it takes to give him that tingly feeling deep inside.  Amazing that after all the crying, whining and threats of suicide of being broke, poor and raising fees at WP, poppers still think he has money.  They don't get that he's no different from any other online seller... he's just figured out a way to scam people at the same time to offset his selling fees... and he's damn good at it. 

It's kind of like the children that were taken from the polygamy compounds... the children didn't know that what was happening at those compounds was wrong, they didn't know any better.  These poppers just don't know that they are being scammed... and when someone tries to tell them, they go on the defensive because it's all they know.  All the real sellers figured this out a long time ago and left.

Of course Ray's trying to act like a big turd in a little crapper. I guess I'll just never stop being amazed at how anyone with the brain capacity of a single iota greater than that of a nematode could possibly take his  with a nano-degree of sincerity.

If the boinktard has that much money (which I doubt the sale of the Cougar would net) don't you think he could afford a little advertising?

No, wait, I am sorry....that would make sense.

Please Platz, you gotta share! There is a deficiency of stock due to recent high demand and I'm back-ordered!!! 

6 new threads in the 'new' SmartSell Enterprise Merchants forum regarding swapping logos/friend page links. They're circling the wagons folks. It's good to see though that they are cleaning up their individual friend pages. Many sellers had more dead links than active.  Nowadays the entries negate the action of having to scroll down this page.

Just think, if 28 more stores leave, Wagglepoop will be back to the 110 they had before the late January 2008 dynamic rush started.

Some stats:

January 2008 stores:
59 - closed (9 never listed a single item)
3 - still active with inventory

February stores:
283 - closed (37 never listed a single item)
6 - active but empty
27 - still active with inventory of which 3 came back with Revolution Rewind

March stores:
83 - closed (13 never listed a single item)
2 - active but empty
22 - still active with inventory of which 5 came back with Rewind

April stores:
40 - closed (5 never listed a single item)
2 - active but empty
7 - still active with inventory of which 1 came back with Rewind

May stores:
16 - closed
7 - active but empty
8 - active but have yet to list anything
19 - still active with inventory of which 3 came back with Rewind

June stores to date:
1 - active but have yet to list anything

Founding members and those who once were (returned with Rewind) who have recently left - 24.

Hey Ray, you got your ducks quacks in a row yet? You're rapidly dwindling down to the Prozac crowd. Get on with it!!  :cinqo2:



Oops, grammar errors. Edited for that.  :oops:

Edited again to add: the 6 threads appear to now be 4. Is 'Edit' in the building?

After the poppers clean up the reciprocal dead links in their stores they might want to turn their attention to their WAGGLESLOP Blog and clean up the dead links there - of which there are many.

At least Ray will be saving money on Kool Aid this month, since there are significantly fewer poppers to drink from the fountain. 

Of the 138 stores left 27 have fewer than 20 items in their stores.  I can't imagine many of them will be there after the June bloodbath. 

I also noticed a long time member delisting at a rapid rate. 

Watching this site unravel so quickly gives a whole new meaning to Revolution Rewind.

He's not the only one. He's just more noticeable because of his status.

That's kind of what I was hinting at when I said only 28 stores to go before we 'rewind' to mid-January 2008. Don't you just love the business plan? Progress in action. Unfortunately for WP it's progress in the wrong direction.

But hey; those drop-shippers ought to be 'dropping in' real soon according to Ray:

Marketshare will take several weeks for rollout as we are still examining the different integration options available to us and weighing them against the needs of the Marketplace while still considering the staffing expenses involved.

Translation: I'm still looking for drop-shippers blind enough to not see my ulterior motives, deaf enough not to have heard about me previously and dumb enough to buy my pitch. Anyone picture three monkeys lined up?

Staffing expenses equate to how much does Ray have to pay up front before he can expect to collect from the back - and put in his own pocket.

Sherrand, you are my hero. You have more smarts in your toenail clipping than Ray has in his entire, fuzzy-slippered, baby bathroom-swathed body.
