The stats MoPuppet conveniently omits from her blinking signature banner and stats page

per store owner averages: 8 monthly sales, $21.92 monthly gross (73 cents per day gross)

A. 10 buyers accounted for 70% of the sales
B. the 5 largest sellers are also the 5 largest buyers
C. 4,903 (53%) of the items sold on the site were PURCHASED by the 5 largest sellers

monthly site GMV $1,622

ASs's 28,000 listings are generating $54 in daily sales.  I'm in awe of Mo's ability to attract buyers to her site.

Another reason: the amateur programmers who work on many Probid sites that have caused a multitude of those sites to be thoroughly hacked from the ground up on many occasions.

design was much nicer than the later hacks.

How about disassociating yourself with the pirate "Techie Guy" for aSs?

See Site in Action (Front End): www.torrentscript...
The question of legality can always arise. However, being that there are no files being hosted, no torrent meta data, no torrent hash data, and absolutely nothing illegal, be it copywritten or not, hosted, and or stored via the script, it's well within the acceptable definition of 'legal'. Thanks for your comments.

Selling software to download illegally obtained copyrighted products is illegal in over 80 countries, it doesn't matter who actually hosts and serves the files.

To PH co-owner Nisan:

If your serious about the site, and your future financial affairs, i'd suggest starting with removing all those bogus / fake / counterfeit items and banning all those who list them. All things security is a good idea, however protecting the consumer and the rights of those who are being infringed upon should be top priority.

To rinky dink site owner:

The first thing you can do is get yourself a legal copy of phpprobid. The software you are running is not "cobrascripts" as the © statement claims. If you purchased it from them, you were duped.

To a Bidware.com user:

Obviously spoken by the pirating [color=rgb(255, 0, 0)]bidware[/color] scumbags themselves.

Hypocrisy in action. I guess it's only piracy if one doesn't make any money from it. Should we expect more from a "programmer" who calls customers "Sheep" to be led by falsified stats?
And these PHP Probid site admins actually give him a flippin' logon ID to their admin sections?

AS can now import from Ioffer, ecrater, and blujay and Etsy!!

Etsy 4,443,116
Ecrater 1,504,315
iOffer 956,986
Blujay 66,054
ASs 4,332

translation: only a complete moron would want to import their listings from any of those four sites to ASs

[xwpopper]

Since the last downtime early this month at Blunderhere, the listings have fallen from 50459 to 44436. There are still 17635 (40%) items still active in the "Imported Items" category created 1 year ago for all listings transferred from the old Rscript site that the sellers haven't even bothered to move, leaving the active total at 26801. I'd say 1 year without bothering to ask for the backend fix on your categories is enough to say you are inactive. This means that the largest seller on Blunderhere, the Nazi scum, is the largest seller with 3385 for sale, roughly 1/8 of the site's listings.

That's how to pull'em in Nisan. Maybe Mark saddled you with a losing proposition after all, or maybe you are just too much of a boinktard to read the truth about him here and know that a quarter was too much for your 25% share. Like the fact that he still has not appeared to post... oh wait, he did sign onto PH forums this week, but no apology at all for his irresponsibility on paying bills and utter lack of any business or people skills.

That's ok though, even the bigger stores that are active seem to be ghost towns. No one would miss Blunderhere if it vanished now, not with an equally unoriginal site to transfer all your stuff to like aSs.

YardSale if you are too cheap to buy proper advertising... you don't deserve to be in business.

When has MoRon ever bought "proper advertising" for ASs?  :

The flash isn't really the right choice for a ecommerce site.

http://www.powersellersunite.com/post-27...tml#270413

I love it when the Fisherman and MoPuppet give ecommerce advice.  Hey boinktard, spending $160 on a bug infested buyer unfriendly auction script and having a site with only 896 members that only generates $1600 monthly GMV indicates a complete lack of understanding of anything having to do with ecommerce.

Well, he was half right.
Flash isn't really the right choice for an open source PHP based heavily modified ITechBids script made by a poor flash designer at LTT Net Solutions http://www.lttnetsolutions.com/
For about $1000 you can have the same horribly slow loading (2 minutes on cable) homepage.
