Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens

[FineThings4U]

Meanwhile, in popper land, Ray's partner who is really one of his schizophrenic personalities, Andrew, is scurrying around trying to think up another dynamic fee structure to appease the restless poppers who now dare to post their discontent on the boards.  After his big "no censorship" speech, how is he going to explain the disappearance of the thread...oh, never mind, I'm sure it was a script error or something like that.

Build it and they will come.  Hah - they came, the heard the bullshit, they left...the smart ones, that is.

I double dare user to stop by and explain why founding member sellers are closing their stores because of a $10 fee increase.

What percentage of Waggle sellers, if any, have Waggle sales that are the equivalent of Gold or Platinum Powerseller level? Two years is surely enough time for any Waggle seller with "halfway decent business sense" to have reached this sales level if the site is the best alternative to eBaY.".

If sellers who sell at a Gold or Platinum Powerseller level anywhere put the same level of effort into Wagglepop I would expect 100% of them to make comparable sales on Wagglepop.  Not within the first few months but certainly within a couple of years or less.

Soon to be 52 stores.  3026 items are about to go poof

It's such a disappointment that this didn't work out. It seemed as though everytime it looked as though I might make a profit, there was another increase in monthly fees for a store. I double checked my former location and it looks as though that's a better bet than Wagglepop, even with the final value fees.

Why did she stay for almost 3 years if she wasn't making a profit?

That's that perplexing popper paradigm coming into play...

no profit... but at least I have friends...

That's because WP was not, is not, never will be a BUSINESS. It's all about being a cultish, exclusionary, elitist, despotic, lonely hearts club. Remember the cyberbreakfasts, the "waggle" dances, the backscratching kumbayas? Remember the forum prayer fests? Remember P.S. saying she was glad Ray culled the herd, leaving only the "best" behind?

It was NEVER about business, which was one of the principle reasons any question or comment even remotely related to a BUSINESS concern was verbodin and cause for excommunication. WP is the antithesis of BUSINESS. 

Edit: Apparently AndRay's subscription increase "con" worked on one Popper. He decided it was worth another $10/mo to submit to more punishment, so Ray can suck a few more bucks out of him before the inevitable demise.

Would you believe that PS was over there on Atomic begging Mike to help the waggle situation and make waggleflop a sister site? LOL  What the hell is her hot connection with that loser site waggleflop? 
Oh yeah and she is now over there on AM kissing Mikes ass and looking like a fool.  Guess she has all but given up on Ray and is now calling AM her home.

Andrew,
Did someone remove the goodbye thread for sellers that were leaving?

Duh!
