I'm slowly moving all my auctions to QuicklySell.com. They already have a nice ad on Moo. I've already sold 5 auctions there. not bad. The site now has over 3000 listings that appears to be growing by 200-300 per day. I'm noticing a lot of Bidville sellers there now.

""I'm noticing a lot of Bidville sellers there now.""
That is NOT necessarily a good thing. There is a group of sellers over at bidville that managed to make a lot of people feel unwelcome and became more of a liability than an asset to the site. If this group moves over to quicklysell the site will have a hard time drawing new sellers from other sites.

The vast majority of the BV sellers will go down with the ship ( the USS Eddie Doc ) . If BV were to suddenly cease operations it would be interesting to where the 800,000 auctions would go ( the book seller/listing service with 300,000 books doesn't really count ).
I would guess that ePier would get the lion's share of the BV orphaned listings. That would probably not be a plus for ePier or any other site as it would dilute the chances of the original sellers at the sites of selling their items. The orphaned BV sellers would buy for each other like they do now except it would be at a new site. They would also take over the new site's message boards like they did at Mootropolis and drive out many sellers that way too.

Hopefully those bidville sellers would take their crap to beckett where it belongs. Don't polute our other auctions with your crap.
