Yo, T!

If you read wook's post, just above yours, there's a hint on how you can check it for yourself. You'll trust your own eyes better than the words of another, if you're anything like me.

Myself, I can't speak for sales. I haven't put any effort into selling on Bonanzle yet. I have some things listed but have done ZERO promoting.

I signed up back when there were like 11,000 people. Wasn't that long ago. I've seen the numbers almost double in just the past 60 days. I've known other members who make sales. There's some pretty cool stuff to be found. It's taking off pretty well, as far as I can assess.

I'll be putting effort into my stuff over there during the summer and might/should have something worth seeing by fall. If you can wait that long, I'll let you know how it works out.

I am heading there right now to sign up and list a few items and check it out, it would be great if everyone would boycot Ebay and make Bonzle or whatever the #1 auction site. They may take their Trust and Safety department and give them all pink slips, as all they do is take down listings and never want to communicate with the seller as to why. Just the same old b.s. BONZIE!!!!!

The growth is spectacular. The growth rate is similar to Ebay' initial growth, and that is exciting. In their first ten years of existence, Ebay was the fastest growing company in the history of the world...

^^^^^^^^ I really hope they do fall soon. nothing lasts forever and the way its been going over the last 5 years or so looks like a form of self destruction. I still haven't taken the time to list on Bonanzle. oh well couple more drinks I'll list something see what happens.

So, please someone tell us about your "selling" experience, not your listing experience...
I've sold handbags ... Balenciagas & Bottega Venetas. My main problem is that I always forget to list at Bonz! I first list on *bay then plan to list at Bonz later but then forget or the bag sells at *bay. I love the invoices from them, 20 or 30 dollars compared to 1 to 2,000 at *bay.

If I had no other things going on in my life, I could easily make $2000 a day. I wish I could devote that much time. Im somewhat pleased with what Im making a day. I always want more though.

I just signed up for bonanzle and it looks pretty nice. Ill update if anything sells quick.

Rafc, when you are signed in, click Sell Your item and give it a sec for page to load. There will be in upper right part Update my Booth Button. To the left of it it will say how many items you have currently active in your booth. For egzample, you may be listing and listing and let say you listed 24 items and click update booth and you will have in there 24 items. Now, let's say you are not done listing and add 6 more. It wills show you have 24 listing active and 6 that you are working on. You need to click update booth to include those 60 and than it should say you have 30 items in your booth. You must have update button.. just click sell and look for the green button.

I just started listing, adding few every day as I go. Haven't sold yet, but had quite few inquires.

thanks Lyda! got it!

Bonanzle actually looks great - the interface is so simple, the staff are really chill and friendly, there is a fun vibe to it. Every time I log on there are a thousand or two more members. The fees are very low, reasonable for once! Hopefully it will grow. This is not like ioffer or anything else. It is actually giving me a good feeling. As it should. Selling doesn't have to be a chore.

Exactly! You said it perfectly right Rafc "there is a fun vibe to it". The more I am there , the more I like it every day. I couldn't agree more. I had a minor tech problem yesterday and had to write to support. The response came in few hours, and from a real human being writing back to ME, helping and explaining my situation. Not some robots only inserting my name in pre-written responses.

It's a classy site and it really takes away ALL OF the stress we have listing on Ebay.
