Thought some of you may be wondering what was said by Nanabee's as the "Goodbye".
________________________________
Hello All,
Many of you know, I was scheduled to chat with GT today. Many have been waiting patiently all day for word from either GT or myself. I am sorry you've had to wait so long.
GT and I had a pleasant conversation, I had 6 questions to ask him and he answered each one of them. Thanks GT! I honestly believe that George is trying hard to bring BidBay to the top.
Due to information I received AFTER talking with GT....AND....receiving an offer that was too good to pass up(it is TRULY a coincidence that this was finalized today!!), we regretfully inform that Nanabee's will be removing our auctions from BidBay. HOWEVER, any auctions with bids, will remain here.
I have nothing but respect for all! No ill-wishes towards anyone here...in fact I have come to care deeply for all of you! I've never met such a wonderful group of people! That includes everyone here: buyers/sellers/staff. And I can't thank you enough for all the kind gestures and open-arm welcomes we've received.
I will not attempt to sway anyone to change their views or to follow us....every person must decide for themselves, where they belong and what is best for them.
I sure hope that I will be allowed to pop in, from time to time, to say hello. Best of luck everyone, it's been a pleasure to meet you all! You will remain in my thoughts and in my prayers...and as always you may email me anytime.

Wendy, I just want to say I'm very impressed by the integrity and class shown by you, ballsandstrikes, and others.

Hello Freejack!
No one else has asked...not even on the other board. I'd be happy to tell you.
1. Why would there ever have been an AW logo on BidBay templates?
2. Has BidBay been barred from selling shares/stocks in PA? If so, why?
3. Are there criminal charges pending against any employee/officer/shareholder/stockholder at BidBay?
4. Why have threads concerning these and similar questions been removed?
5. What is your response to the accusation on violating the Quiet Period?
6. Have you at any time paid an individual(s) to seek out information on or investigate any users(buyers or sellers) on BidBay? DID NOT NEED TO ASK THIS QUESTION, AS IT WAS ANSWERED WHILE RESPONDING TO A PREVIOUS QUESTION.
7. Do you have plans for listing fees within the next 3 months?
I realize this is 7 not 6....however, #6 was not asked. That means I asked 6, but got 7 answers. Confused yet?LOL I confused myself on that! LOL
I won't divulge his responses. I'm sure most, already have an idea what the responses were. This is not being put here to cause any pain or hurt to anybody. This is just clarifying my reason for contacting the CEO of BidBay, who was very pleasant. We did not have any cross words or arguments of any kind.

Hi Wendy,
Good questions. Yes, we all know the answers to most of those questions, however it would be nice to know what the ceo had to say. I'm guessing that he complimented your hair and offered to make you a bidbaybuck gazillionaire.

No compliments on my hair LOL
No offers of bigbidbaybucks LOL
____________________________________
Seriously though, how would you expect the CEO to respond to those questions? I don't feel it is ethical to discuss the conversation in a forum setting, as I've already announced a decision on our part(Nanabee's). But, I am positive, the CEO would give YOU or anyone else, the identical answers he gave me.

GT: That is a very good question, I am glad you asked me that. The truth is I did NOT have sex with that woman Miss Lewinsky, nor did I inhale. I tell you this is all a vast right wing conspiracy! Now I really have to get back to work for my company. Meanwhile could I get you something? A new digital camera perhaps, a yacht? And how about some of this special koolaide? I made it myself!"

I am so sorry. Here is their (bidbay's ) response to your leaving.
"THOSE THAT NEED TO ANNOUNCE THEY ARE LEAVING;
have probably never truly arrived
or another one;
sometimes; the squeaky wheels don't get oil;
THEY GET REPLACED

I thought some of you might have missed by posting on another thread, so I thought I would share it here:
If this wasn't so pathetic, it might be amusing. In the whole scheme of the world, it sure seems like there must be better things people can do with their time, then perpetuate an argument that makes everyone sound like children.
I am in Michigan, and I know there are many agencies always looking for volunteers to help with the ill, the hungry, the homeless, etc. I am sure there must be similar situations in your State. Perhaps, since you all seem to have an abundance of time, you might wish to volunteer to do something positive in the world, rather than negative.
It seems to be that there are some of you who just don't know when to let go or move on. This might be a clinical problem. Perhaps professional help might be called for.
Have a nice day everyone. I have too much work to do and a family to take care of and not enough time to sit in front of a computer throwing insults back and forth.

WOWEE! I had registered (under another name) at Bidbay some time back for the purpose solely of buying and selling. Family illness prevented me from doing so, and just when I go in to start, I see all the madness on the Bidbay boards about fraud, theft, as well as other things that I certainly do NOT intend to be a part of. I signed up here under the name of bbbilly because I thought it was such a hoot that in the midst of all the accusations and controversy, they come out with more BBBillys and prizes!!! Sounds much like a politician to me. Thank you for helping me see that I want no part of a sight like that. I will go to bidville and ebay.

Knotted Lady and All,
My post here on AW is not to bring down BidBay or anyone there...as you know, I truly do care about everyone there.
I wanted everyone to know:
1. Nanabee's is in the process of removing auctions.
2. Nanabee's did not leave angry. We made a business decision...God has blessed us with a terrific opportunity.
3. What influenced our decision. Many will wonder...but will not ask.
4. I knew our announcement would not be visible for long...even though it was certainly not a put-down to BidBay.
5. Some folks here on AW have been customers of Nanabee's, long before we arrived at BidBay. They need to be aware of our decision.
6. Those customers and friends of ours at BidBay may not have had the chance to see our posting, and might believe we participated in trying to harm BidBay. If they visit AW, they will be able to see that we did in fact, announce-bid farewell-wish only good things for all.
I wish everyone here and at BidBay the very best. Life is hard and not always long enough...we all as fellow human beings deserve to be happy and at peace with ourselves and with each other.
If others have decided to leave, I hope it is based on their own reasoning, not ours.
I apologize publicly.....for hurting anyone's feelings, as this was never and will never be my intention. And I speak on behalf of myself and the staff at Nanabee's.

My apologies for joining in any ruckus on this thread Nanabees I will edit my post to help keep the topic in line.

Wendy,
My apologies if you thought my words were directed at you. I have just grown a bit tired of the constant battles. I have respect for your views and integrity as I have already told you in the past.
I did send you an email yesterday, and I look forward to a response (when you have time, I know you are a busy lady, lol).

Thank you Catie! I am glad I have not upset you. I replied to your email...hope ya get it...have had many problems with that Mailer Daemon thingy eating up my messages! LOL
And I sure have had alot of email! Thanks to all who have been so sweet!
_______________________________________
Thanks AG2....editing was not necessary...I know everyone has their own thoughts and this is a board for expressing those. Emotions also, are hard to keep out of posts. I'm not easily offended...nobody here or at BidBay have angered me. You have been nothing but kind to me and I really appreciate you!
_______________________________________
I think it would help us all if we tried to look past the emotion that comes with some posts and see that the person is trying to express something that he/she feels very strongly about. I see terrific qualities in all of you! That is sincerely a real compliment!
Wendy
P.S. to all: I have a sense of humor...I think alot of you are really humorous and make me laugh(not in a bad way)LOL LOL
