They're open today. [/quote] "Does it matter?", said 3-year Bidville member BBH. ;D The views to our items on BV have been very consistent over the years: the vast majority of our items end with 0 views, a few with 1 view, and once in a while we'll have a really hot item that gets 2-5 views. Our last group of 197 auctions ended with a combined 29 views. 80% of the items listed on the site are in the sports card categories, and the majority of non-sports item sales on the site are seller-to-seller. EDIT: I believe Stardust, Thentavius, and a few others have had similar experiences with BV.
"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 |

Re: from Bidville.com!
I sold 3 pieces of inexpensive sheet music on BV. Then I closed all my listings, and instantly sold an $8 piece of music that had been sitting there for months, with a panicked "what happened to xxx?". Lesson learned there is to never park items forever ANYWHERE!!
Peeps were horrid. BidVille emails were the same sickening "We miss you". I finally unsubscribed to their emails. Never even looked into their *stores*, because I knew it was a losing cause from the gitgo. I've always actually considered the site a total and complete scam of some sort, just wasn't sure what, exactly... |

Re: from Bidville.com!
 They sent me a survey recently and I told them I had signed up long ago but, after seeing the way their boards operated I wanted nothing to do with selling or buying there. I also said that I couldn't imagine them every being able to revive a dead horse.
