They could also put a cap on that slimy, green chunk spewing hole that stinks up their venue. They would only need to keep it capped long enough to let the pressure build up to a point where the whole thing would explode.
Now bidville is selling green chunk spewed crap. No new news here.
PS: Yahoo don't do Canada. Thank God.

Dimview is having too much fun at the moo tooltimes. With the moo's new system the bidville diehards have one account, and the ignore feature ran them away too. I guess Dimviews stats scared them away lol.

I would say the average sale price on bidville ranges from a nickel to three dollars. I estimate 99.5% of items sell for $20.00 or less, and 0.5% sell for over $100.00

My estimation of BV sales is:
Facts:
Thanks to BW we know that 58% of the BV items are sports stuff.
There are many thousands of sportcards that start at only one cent with reserves. Thousands of sportscards that start at only two cents, etc.
My best guess is that 50% of all BV closed auction item prices are under $1.00 -- 40% of the items close in the $1.01 to $4.00 range and 9.5% close in the $4.01-$10.00 range. The last .5% is on the $10.01 up range.
Since Hap left BV there has to have been a drop in quality goods and decent prices earned.

Blairwitch,
On what do you base those figures? Anything tangible, or are you using your usual flawed methods?

BW said I would say the average sale price on bidville so it is only an estimation or guess.

Tooltimes the number of sports items is much more than 58%. As most people know the book section at bidville is almost one seller, and is very stagnant. We can actually eliminate those listings and we come up with the following numbers:
Total-1,165,891
Minus Books-329,999
New total-835,892
sports cards-670,838
80.3%

That's right! 80% sports stuff that is mostly well under a buck.

There's some more of that number play. You can't exclude the books then subtract the other auctions from sportcards and get a 80% figure for a total sportcard percentage. It's ridiculous, and it's inaccurate. But, I must say, par for the course for BW.... The Self-Appointed Pseudo Stats Authority LOL

The store front seller has sold only 18 books in a year from his feedback so his 299,081 BV items can realistically be tossed out of all statistics. The percentage of sportscards rises dramatically when that happens.
1,174,000 minus 299,000 equals 875,000

I would bet it is closer to 99.5% sell for under $3.00. Bidville waste land is prime for junk sports cards and recipes.
80% sports items. Not really. About 10% sports items and 70% junk sports cards.

Well RB just posted his AW suspension letter on a forum in Mootropolis.com. Such a nice pleasant poster too?
***************
There may have been another longtime poster axed as well. RB acts like he is a total innocent but he was extremely crude and vile in the deleted posts where he ruthlessly attacked a disabled person about his disability. RB is the coarsest and cruelest person I have ever seen post on a message board. It took him three years to mess up but his horrible personality did him in finally. Best eulogy he'll get from anyone here at AW.

I rarely read the ebay forum here, but it seems that others in the OOT didn't seem to know. So, I thought I would mention it since he was the topic starter here.

Speaking of BV stats ---
Todays set of six featured BV sellers have a few real winners. One sellers has been on BV for almost 10 months and has yet to earn a feedback and another seller has managed to earn only one feedback in 13 months and that is a negative feedback giving that seller an impressive ( -1 ) rating. Showcasing the best and most successful sellers?

Tooltimes the stats show bidville is for the most part a sports related site. If the owner would have half a brain he would advertise the site in some sports magazines, etc.
It is too bad about RB. I am sure he will be back.
Tooltimes I agree the sell-thru rates for featured sellers is terrible!! I would say these sellers fell for and paid the "membership fee".

Maybe they should be excluded then....
It doesn't matter how many books the bookseller has sold. The fact of the matter is he has sold items, and twisting the numbers to rationalize it doesn't work. If it did you'd have to exclude many of the sportcard sellers who never sell anything because according to you they are all worthless cards. In fact, let's exclude everyone who has never sold a thing at BV and just warehouses their auctions there. Can you do it? Are you up to the task? What does that do to your numbers?
If you want to play with the numbers (lie), try to at least be uniform about it. Letting the pseudo stats official drag you into her mess is unwise, and only serves to make you look like a fool right along with her.

BV let's prospect sellers see what their featured sellers sales look like with a clickable link to each of them on the BV homepage. Most of them are warehouing sellers that have little feedback in the long time they have been on BV. Only 25% to 30% spring for the $5 to $15 monthly 'Bryan's & Terry's' paycheck fund memberships. A huge percentage do not have photos and there are little red x's are on many auctions that have/had photos. Many auctions have very, very short and generic auction descriptions.
It is very apparent that the vast majority of BV auction items are merely warehoused items much like the books storefront clown.
The new 6 month $5 verification gambit should winnow some of the warehousers out of BV because $10/yr to get almost no sales is no deal.

BW, I don't think Buzz can get back on AW after his stunt. He'll have to use another card to get back on.

Tooltimes you are correct about Bidville being a warehouse site. Its hard to believe all that junk was at yahoo one time. The only things missing are the thousands of recipe, and advertising auctions. There are many bidville users who have no idea they raised the membership fee. I hope they have better luck than the seller who paid $60.00 in overdraw fees!

Just curious but why aren't the recipe and signpost auctions at BV.
I suppose a signpost auction is best suited for a site with a lot of traffic so that may be why those types of auctions do not abound at BV. Were the recipe auctions just gimicks on Y that allowed users to build feedback for a very small amount? No need for that on BV where almost everything is a small amount of money anyway.
There have to be a lot of BV sellers tht are either unaware of the new six month verication fee or they know that it's coming and they are letting their auctions run up to the day that BV has to delete them because they will not renew the $5 bi-yearly fee.

Tooltimes the recipe auctions varied from a dime to one dollar. When you won you sent the money and got the recipe printed on an index card. In the past I saw sellers that had 5,000 or more listed each!! There was easily 500,000+ recipe auctions. I would say the same amount of advertising auctions. You add those auctions to the bidville numbers and bingo you got the old yahoo.
Tooltimes as you know many bidville users dont check the site at all since their listings are on repeat relistings. They will know by looking on there credit card statement. If it happened to me I would file a chargeback.

If they use their credit card a lot for purchases and they don't scrutinize the monthly statement very well it could be years before they find out.
So there isn't much of a market for recipes at BV? Too steep maybe?

It's good to see that you two can amuse each other for so long. I guess it doesn't take much to amuse you, does it?
To all readers: Take it with a grain of salt and assume it's BS, because 99% of it is.

Anyone interested in either/or buying and selling at BV should register and read the message boards and take a good look at the stats on these sellers. Take a very good look at feedback of the feature sellers and the posters on the message boards. Look at the buyers of the few things that do get sold on BV and you will easily see that most bidding is done amongst a tight cirlce of BVers. Read the posts about the need for advertising, the ripoffs, the deadbeats, etc.
Then decide if it's worth five dollars.
