Quote:Does anyone else feel like they've entered The Twilight Zone when they read the boards on sites like Wagglepop? Yes!!!!!!!! I sell items online, they sell items online, and that's where the similarity between my business and their business hobby ends. Quote:Funny, I don't see anything resembling "BECAUSE I MAKE MONEY"? Money and sales are never mentioned when [insert tiny eBay alternative name here] 's cheerleaders are spamming the praises of their chosen alternative. "A great community" however is always mentioned and usually #1 or #2 on the list. Quote: the customer acquisition cost is $7.50 per customer on Wagglepop Are you sure about that? ;D Store #1 (18,870 items  ):member 13 months ($150 store fees) feedback from 3 unique buyers ----------------------------- customer acquisition cost $50 ($150/3) Store #3 (4,204 items) member 23 months ($250) feedback from 12 unique buyers ---------------------------- customer acquisition cost $20.83 Store #4 (4,120 items) member 23 months ($250) feedback from 24 unique buyers ------------------------------ customer acquisition cost $10.41 Store #5 (3,915 items )member 22 months ($880 -showcase store) feedback from 79 unique buyers ------------------------------- customer acquisition cost $11.14 Store #12 (1,753 items )member 22 months ($880 -showcase store) feedback from 35 unique buyers --------------------------------- customer acquisition cost $25.14 Quote:Ray's customer acquisition cost on eBay during his latest stint was $9.41 ($292/32 customers). Based on those numbers, if you're using auction venues primarily as a customer acquisition tool, Wagglepop isn't that much cheaper than eBay. Ray's sell through rate is only 5% (compared to the average eBay seller's 30%+) so the average eBay seller's cost is probably much lower than $9.41. Quote:When you factor in the extra time involved in listing on a site without a bulklister or other automated auction management tools (Wagglepop), eBay may be a cheaper way in the long run to acquire customers than Wagglepop. Using the fees/customers=cost formula, Amazon and Alibris are a fraction of the cost of Wagglepop if your goal {raises hand} is customer acquisition for your website. [/quote] Look at this one :turkey1: Quote:687 items found Quote:Member since: May 25, 2006 2 unique buyers in 25 months. ((($10*24) +($30*1))/2)=customer acquisition cost $135 per buyer :blinkie: Quote from same seller this week Quote:I'M STAYIN'... sales are slooooooooooowly pickin up. 3 feedbacks from 2 buyers in 25 months. :

Quote:BIDVILLE WAGGLEPOP SELLER THEME SONG Tomorrow has been the theme song for every small eBay alternative auction site since Gold's.
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"
"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site. best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011 |
