Coolvette--thought I'd let ya know, I'm not on "yahoo" or "smellbay" either.. I found a better one...You shouldn't be so assuming..

NOT! On both counts. I said I "may" not be with bidbay. Just ask me where I sell, instead of everyone assuming, and I will tell you, UNLIKE "whocares aka Gary"

Tatiana-BidBayPro,
Thank You very much. Me and Barbie both adore you as well as many of the Bidbay community. You would be a fine addition to any community and you was missed in your absence!
We are all glad to have you back!
Kml,
I took your clarification as sacastic towards my post. It appears I was wrong in taking it like that and for that you have my apology. I'm really not one to put down other auction sites except Ebay. People should have the right to go where they are compfortable in selling. Me and Ebay has had many wars. I have been ripped off on Yahoo! I could write a real thick book about these two places as well as Gold's auction. I am well known in the OAI communities.
I have done well on Bidbay. My feedback there is over 1600. This is both from buying and selling. When I read statements regarding no bids at Bidbay, ect. I just shake my head!
All auction sites go through weeks of slow bidding. Bidbay is no different. At this time I have about 140 auctions running on Bidbay. I would say 50 of them have bids. Now thats not bad and I don't pay a dime right now for sales.
I am one the is a firm believer in the MAM(million auction march)and any auction site away from Ebay is a plus for all of us as communities of OAI.

Thanks, Vette. I have laughed so much at your and Barb's humor. You two are also a great addition to any community! Glad to be back. I have been enjoying my first day of sitting in front of the 'puter with no worries. Hope you are having a wonderful day!
Your fellow bidbayer,
Tatiana

It appears that many of golds biggest cheerleaders are now bibbays biggest fans.
This reminds me of a addicted gambler that can never pick a winning team.
Everyone has the right to cheer for whoever they wish, but reality will prove the victor when bidbay topples just like golds and many others did.
I am puzzled as to how anyone can think a site like bidbay will make it? OK OK the CEO cares, and gets involved sometimes. Does he pay your bills? What exactly is your return for the time and effort you put into listing items on bidbay that are never seen or bid on? Where are the missing bidbay bucks? Who in their right mind would want cheap used prizes for bidbay bucks? Why is the sky blue?

vette vette vette,
I checked your auctions at bidbay and you have three pages running, two of which are .25 and .50 items. Maybe you better look again because you do not have ONE SINGLE BID!!!
ROFLMAO!!!!

I am ROFLMAO with you. Its so sad its entertaining. Do you think this would be a bad time to report that the total head count at the Million auction march was somewhere around 200 auction users. Talk about a bomb!
They should have called it the million whiner stomp! ROFLMAO

Hi Joice,
You can lock it as far as I am concerned. But then I didn't start it so probably don't have that right.

Amazing, some ask a question and then say I'm outta here? Ignorance plays a big part here in trying to down what one sells. It is the lowest form of posting that one can do almost. There is postings that are lower however.
Remember you said there was a bunch. A bunch adds up and so do the shipping fees. A dollar to ship seven cards can add up also but you wanna know something else that is cool?
The person that bought these is giving them to the needy that might just not have a Christmas and because of her bidding and my selling a childs eyes may lighten up on Christmas day.
These cards will be shipped for free and I feel good about doing that!
Have a great evening everybody!

From a previous post..
When trying new sites,my experience is that it takes patience and time...Yes, I know, time and patience doesn't pay our bills, but if we encourage the buyers to visit our auctions at any other sites we are at, we can create our own traffic...if your a good seller, your flock will follow...Have a good day all.

Hey Vette, Having some light snow fall here, how 'bout you? By the way, Where are you having Thanksgiving?

I don't think this last post had anything to do with the point at hand. MODERATOR????
but to answer your question he will probably be eating CROW.!!!
I see you took the nickel items off the hot auctions. Nice coverup!

Hello Tat,
Snow?? Haven't seen it in years and glad not too. I hate cold weather but to answer your question I probably will go over to my brother's house with some friends and feast upon turkey and the rest of the goodies!
Normally during Thanksgiving we will watch the football games and take it quite easy.
Many of my friends and some relatives are online sellers at various auction sites also. Most don't post to AW or any of the other auction related boards because they really don't know about them yet.
This said while I'm over there I think I will turn them on to AW for auction related information. I believe we can use the user SEABHS and his related cult of sock puppets as a great example of online posting. Being the intelligent people they are they should see we are truly gifted to have such a fine poster here at AW and to not get the reputation as a poster such as he. I plan on doing a search on his about 47 posts I believe. Doesn't take one long to get a history or rep here at AW.

Kittie, Etc
Like I said before, whocares who Iam ?
Here I'm Whocares! OTWA I'm Sports4U !
Golds I'm NCSports, Sparky4U, Eagle1 !
Bidbay I'm Eagle2, NCSports, Sparky4U !
eBay I'm NCSports !
eBay I have 2,315 feedbacks with one long ago retaliatory negative !
Golds I have 3,300 Feedbacks, no negatives !
BidBay I have 1,350 Feedbacks, no negatives !
That adds up to almost 7,000 Feedbacks & one negative!
I have nothing to hide. I have an excellent, respected Reputation in the Auction Site circle.
The point you gainsayers missed here is that at AW I'm Whocares and that's my choice and I've accomplished what I set to do. And that was to gain more exposure to a Site I see promise in and thats BidBay and by seeing over 100 posts so far directed to BidBay, I feel my goal has been reached.
eBay is my main place for monetary gain. I'm not putting down anyones Site. I see good and bad in all of them. I use eBay, BidBay & Golds on a daily basis. I've tried Epier, Epeal, Boxlot, Yahoo also.
I'm looking for a viable alternative to eBay. It is wishful thinking to make a profound statement that any Site is remotely close to equaling eBay at this time. They are the Pioneer. They have the majority of the Market still.
Die Hard eBayer's are people like me & you, but I'm also a Die Hard BidBayer. We all Cheer for our Home Teams.
I am an opinionated person myself. I comment in the Site Forums things I don't like or would like to see changed. But I don't start attacking everything and anything that moves if things don't go my way. I have the choice of leaving. I don't own these Sites, so my word isn't final, their's is.
eBay is too big and established to the point that no matter what we say negatively against the wrongs of the Site to be able to impact it in any way.
But the negatitivity that we express against the new Sites such as BidBay, Golds, Epier, Edeal, goes a long ways in influencing people looking for a viable alternative.
Instead of putting down & planting Bad Seeds against the Sites that are trying to give us an Alternative, why we we all work within the systems of these Sites to make them better for all. For some this may not be possible. That's understandable. Some are just looking for a fight. Some are just trying to distrupt. Some , by their nature, are unhappy people trying to make everyone else unhappy.
Those people you can never influence. They have a Golden Opportunity to spread discord amongst the new Sites. Because they know they have no voice at eBay. No one will listen to them. If they even attempt to disrupt things at eBay or try and spread discord they will be NARUD without recourse.

EXCELLENT whocares aka Gary! I love being right. I must say that hardly anyone on BB has any negs because TPTB take them off if you suck up enough. I am happy for ya!!
Now this is my last post on this "going nowhere, off the topic" thread. Bye Bye!!
