Where are Marty's pompoms?

It's a cheap trick and an old one. If you can make someone agree with you a couple/few times in a row they are more likely to agree a 4th and 5th time too.

Typical shaping of the conversation.

I ran another VACATION setting last night, and made a sale to Italy, but thats it so far..

You gotta be shitting me... they're still on that kick???

[FiberGuy]

DANG!

Forgot to post this gem from Marty:

As I have mentioned here before many times the economy is being felt [by] many people much more than the news would lead you to believe.

Economy.... hmmmm... that would mean the American economy, right?  So selling out to cheap-ass Chinese forced-labor crap is OK, or NO??? 

Hypocracy at its finest.

Just to reiterate for those (ahem) that don't know...

Here's the type of sheep that frequent the SRG...  heeplove:

This was a response by a SRG member regarding a non-SRG member closing their ebay store (I snagged this from auctionbytes - names have been changed to protect something or other): 

I am so sorry "Smart Gal". Wish you had come over to SRG forums and spent some time with us before it came to that. My business has improved so much since I have been over there. So many folks with helpful tips. Little sellers and big sellers, and NO snotty rude folks like in other places I have been. LOL if you get my drift.

"Sheepette"

"Sheepette" sold a whopping $102 the past 30 days.  heeplove:

Yet still is convinced that ebay is the only way.

The SRG has a lot of dirty little secrets if you look in the right corners.

One of their higher-up members pulled a nasty little trick on me once upon a time. I have watched him since do the same to others. All is not as it seems with some people in that group.

Marty said: Still plugging on this end, I will keep ya posted if I find out anything that works.

Reducing your reliance on eBay works. Websites work. Playing with vacation settings or wasting time on any of the million and one other stabs in the dark people have done trying to jumpstart slumping eBay sales (when you could be spending the time more productively doing things that DO work and produce sales), doesn't work if you want to build a business.

eBay 2006 isn't the same as eBay 2001, the marketplace and the ecommerce landscape itself have changed. There are now other viable options out there for small business owners (and I'm not talking about 2nd rate eBay wannabee auction sites like WPop or HB which are a waste of time unless you enjoy having verrrrry few buyers)

It's not the economy Marty--it's eBay. Online sales have been strong this year--unless, that is, you've wasted the time hoping to recreate the "magic" that is long gone.

75% of online buyers are elsewhere and they are buying this month (and they were buying this Spring and Summer too). Why waste time trying to recapture the magic that left the building many moons ago when you could be doing something that has actually been proven to work?

Hope this helps.
