True Raythink...
$2800 income the last month fees were $10 per store.
$1400 income a month ago at $30 per store.
$760 income at $40 per store.
Each time, revenues were cut in half. A moron could see that, but Ray is a special breed.
Did poppers actually expect any more from this kind of business sense?

It took me -- a mere troll, morally-bankrupt miscreant with Alzheimer's -- about two months to figure than Ray had the business sense of a nematode. Three years later and some Poppers are just now figuring it out.

Hell, maybe he should make it a "private club" and charge 100 bucks a pop.

I wouldn't put it past him.  Remember, you saw it here first.

And... DONE.

 

Please note that Wagglepop will be ceasing operations as an open marketplace and closing on June 30, 2009.

Edit - Unless, of course, you have $40,000 to keep it alive. - oops.  $40K, not $80K.

Hello Wagglepop Members,

After very careful consideration (and unless a serious buyer for the website as "turnkey" operation or domain becomes apparent), Wagglepop will be ceasing operations and closing on June 30, 2009 and converting to a 100% affiliate-driven marketplace through affiliate partnership agreement with Amazon.

It has been an interesting three years and I would like to personally thank all of our good-faith members both past and current for their participation. It has been an honor and pleasure to serve you. While there are a few things we may have done differently in hindsight, I feel confident that Wagglepop was a well-built good performing site and a great opportunity for those that did use it.

There will be no billing for June 2009. All merchants are welcome to use Wagglepop free of charge from now through end of business June 30th. New transactions through the Wagglepop system will end on June 24th and must be completed by end of business June 30th.

We are making Wagglepop available for sale in part or whole prior to affiliate conversion to those that desire such an opportunity. While we are not hopeful that there exists a serious and funded buyer or group for Wagglepop, we have made the individual components that make up Wagglepop as well as a complete turnkey operation available for purchase. Please click the link below if interested in purchasing part or all of Wagglepop as available.

Wagglepop Sale Details

I would like to publicly thank our staff for a truly outstanding effort. Chris and Marcus in Customer Care and Account Protection & Security have been tireless workers (as were Karen and Christine before them) and supporters and I will be forever grateful for that. They are both moving on or continuing solid careers and I have every expectation that they will continue to stand out amongst their peers.

I would also like to thank ownership publicly for the courage to conceive, create, and support the vision of Wagglepop. While we did not as a group achieve the participation goals, we did build a site together that performed at a very high level and was full of unique and useful features. For me, it will always stand out as the clear solid alternative to eBay with everything available to be exactly that and more. Ultimately, no site can do what only online sellers as a group have the power to do - band together, build together, and stick together long enough to create a marketplace buyers can truly consider an "alternative" to eBay.

I am sure that those that did find success on Wagglepop will continue to enjoy that success wherever they go.

Best of luck to everyone.
