The sight is www.bidbey.com I am registered at elance and I had seen a posting for them. They were hiring an advertising agent to advertise their sight. This is the first time I will actually beable to see a sight grow from the start. Will it last I don't know with so many of them collapsing. When a sight is this new is it worth listing anything? They have to start some where right? Well I emailed them with a question an they returned the email with in 1 hour that was enough to make me want to try. At the same time I am afraid to list because I heard new sights have dead beats in the beginning is that true?

SimpleHonestMe,

I thought you had made a typo! No typo there, also no listings.

The site was giving me errors on all the pages. No error screens, but in the lower left of my browser window was the little caution sign with a message "error on page".

This was an interesting little note on the fee schedule page:

"Note - Fees pay for the right to sell an item(s) on BidBey. You do not purchase any exclusive rights to a Web page on BidBey. BidBey may, in our sole discretion, and without your consent or payment to you, place third party advertisements on any Web page within our site."


Losing your mind is okay, but when the voices in your head get quiet, it is like losing your best friend.

Don't blink - they could be gone. I can see no compelling reason to list on this site - it is DOA

Ah-ha! It's another one of those sites that tries to trap you into it--can't click the back button and get out.

auctiongaurd I do not own the sight. If I did it would have bids I guess it is not worth my time to try to sell anything on it. But maybe one day they will advertise and get some traffic. Who knows.
