No, what it reflects is a playground for three or four members who like to attack all who enter. It really doesn't matter what site a person happens to be from, you attack them all. You just are a little more eager about attacking BV. You banter back and forth with each other in a sickening sing-song dialogue that is old and tired. I hope you are all very happy with the company of each other. No one else can take the nausea for long, and that's why this forum is a ghost town.

I don't wish to take either side in this debate, but it does get a little bit old to read the constant bashing of BV on these boards. Yet, another site with the same or even less traffic, in epier, is lauded by some. Soooo, I thought I'd take a little trip over there.
On the infamous 'Our Top Five User's list' are TWO sellers with ZERO feedback, along with TWO sellers that seem to specialize in items under $1 (isn't that considered JUNK), and one seller that's had some very good success there.
Sure don't see where anything there looks any better than it does on BV. Oh, but there is that terrific auto-relist until an item sells option - which encourages the same warehousing mentality that BV is constantly slammed for.
I will agree with anyone who says that BV is slow. But I don't see where some of the other sites that are talked about in such a positive light are any better or different than BV. And as far as deadbeats go, my ratio of them on BV is definitely lower than it is on Yahoo.

emak you are correct. We need more discussions on ALL the other auction sites. I never thought to check out epier.

Another "new" BVer with multiple posts saying they are new to BV.
The problem is there ABOUT ME page says they joined BV 10 months ago? This has happened several times on the BV boards in the past.
What a crock.
