I've been watching the numbers on BidVille. Yes, it's true that the actual sell-thru rate dropped by .1% during the last week but let's look at those weeks of statistics in actual items sold vs. the actual percentage of items sold.
Granted, the amount of sales after the sale has dropped (I anticipated this before the sale ever ran so am not surprised). But, the number of listings actually sold the week before the sale was 8,329. During the two weeks of the sale the total sales rose to 9,158 and 9,229. That's a pretty decent raise of 800 to 900 more listings sold.
During the week after the sale sell-thru dropped back off, but still, the 8,536 items sold for that week is over 200 listings more than the 8,329 sales the week before the sale started.
I currently have 14 auctions listed and 4 of those have bids. My sales have been increasing since I started listing on BV. I had my first sale within just minutes of starting my first-ever BidVille auction. Then it took about another couple of weeks before I had another. Since that time I've continually sold more listings so this says to me that bidding is slowly and steady on the incline.

If you agree with what the statistics are saying, then what is the problem with my statement? Bidville showed a small decline, and epier was flat, yet your subject lines for the posts were dramatically different. That implies that you have a bias.
What *specific* subject titles are you referring to? If its only Yikes! What happened?, I thought that was FUNny, especially after all the hype from the Bidville Cheerleaders.
Now being that I have never sold on epier, I have no bias against it. Why anyone would go through the trouble to discredit a site is beyond me, especially since you sell on them as well.
The bottomline, I'm looking for *profitable* closed auctions from listings that don't have to relisted over and over again waiting for an eventual buyer, and for those auctionsites that aren't there yet, a plan for getting there.
I'm not sure I understand your question, but I will try to clarify for you. It is a violation of the Community Guidelines to discuss an individual poster, or make personal remarks to or about them. It is not against the CGs to mention their name when you're replying to one of their posts.
In short, you are to discuss the topic, not the individual.
