Quote:I believe this is the appropriate place for this welcome for one of the HiBidder moderators : Thank you for the welcome! Yes, I recognize many members/names here too. Thanks also for the heads up about this place. I would rather not be a member of another community that spends its time trashing other people just for the sake of cruelty. Not my style. But thanks anyway. See ya, |

hibidder board moderator angelsolutions Wrote:I would rather not be a member of another community that spends its time trashing other people just for the sake of cruelty. Then why are you a member of Hibidder? I believe the reporting of other sellers posts on the eBay boards that HiBidder's one moderator (userID starts with an M) did (and admitted to doing) is an example of both "trashing" and "cruelty". Did that Hibidder mod even stop to think that by reporting posts on the eBay boards that the sellers she had reported could be suspended or NARU'd (which would have affected their income)? The posts you made on OTWA last year (and repeated on PSU) about OTWA members and OTWA's owner were definitely an example of someone (you) spending time "trashing other people". : Back to HiBidder sales... A HiBidder user posts frequent updates of HiBidder's sales stats at PSU. The latest 2-day sales figures (done by subtracting the current 10/28 stats from the 10/26 stats): 2-day site total: Members: +13 Live Auctions: +29 Page Views: 34,297 (an average of 17,000 per day from the 26th-28th) Total Sales: $50 (an average of $25 per day over the 2 day span) Items Sold: 17 (an average of under 9 sales per day over the 2-day span)

RE: HiBidder Database Implodes, 95% of Listings Lost
Continuing the look at HiBidder's sales and traffic
HiBidder's owner is fond of talking up his site's traffic figures to the site's members: HiBidder owner Wrote:Here are the newest Alexa Rankings as of September 28, 2006! On October 10th the site showed a slight improvement - movng up to 148,629 from 154,156 HiBidder owner Wrote:Thank You everyone who responded. Here are our newest statistics on Alexa! Many of the members fell for the slick talking used car salesman's claims that HiBidder's Alexa rankings were "fantastic". However, a comparison of HiBidder's rankings with TulipTools (a site with very few members) shows that HiBidder's Alexa numbers are dismal rather than fantastic. (lower numbers are better in Alexa's rankings. Yahoo is ranked 1) 3-month average HiBidder 154,274 TulipTools 73,659 1-week average HiBidder 208,836 TulipTools 44,657 1-day average HiBidder N/A (not in top 100,000) TulipTools 40,543 Summary: HiBidder's traffic sucks and it isn't surprising that the average member has very few sales.

Re: HiBidder Database Implodes, 95% of Listings Lost
Quote:Auction sites are like people...they all have their own good and bad points. I choose to look for the good in something than look for the bad in all The only reason I list on any auction site is to make money. If the total monthly sales on a site are less than my monthly gross sales then the site sucks as far as I'm concerned because the only good point of any auction site to me is sales. I really don't give a crap if a site's community/forums are warm, fuzzy, and fun when I list on a site because warm, fuzzy, and fun does't pay the bills. HiBidder and 90% of the other small auction sites that are advertised on OAI forums fall into this "sales too low to waste my time listing at" category. I'm not going to recommend any site whose total sales are as low as HB's.  Sellers have wasted too much time over the years listing on places that were heavily promoted on forums--and most of those sellers have ultimately ended up back at eBay (or quit selling entirely) due to the lack of sales at these sites.  If the sellers had avoided places like HiBidder, SellYourItem, LunarBid, BidChaser,  etc and instead focused on building their own websites (or listing on sites with sales like Amazon, Etsy, etc.) they probably could have broken free of eBay. |
