This is heresay..I don't know personally. I don't keep up, there's no need to.

Basically this is what my emails tell me from person's that are still over there and using the beta until the holidays are over or their pre-paid subscriptions are up before making the move.

The beta that was released to everyone was the same beta that others were testing in the spring of 2005. Not many changes to it, I'm told..but I don't know. As I said it's heresay so don't go by me.

Tomas implemented a ticket for help. It's just like the way we have had here all along. I've been told that Merry and others are still answering questions on the boards.

I was told there is no phone number still in which to call for help and that members had to call rackspace recently to get some help. Tomas has made appearances on the board alot more than he used to. I was told that Bill is on hand for writing code..I don't know...as I said this is all heresay.

That's bout all I know. Sorry it's not more info for you.

The emails are mostly family info, checking in and such, very rarely discussed is Sparedollar or Auctiva or any other service. The emails are of a more personal level with news of their family and such.

How'd your Florida Christmas go?
I loved the weather in the 30s on Wednesday...wasn't that great?

Happy New Year,
Donna


Heya Suthern (Donna) - thanks for all the info. I was just curious how things were going over there, is all. I'm a bit surprised to hear that Bill might be back (I thought they had a big falling out long ago), but I *guess* that's good news. I can't believe his customers had to call Rackspace directly, but I heard that elsewhere too so maybe it's true. How sad. Pathetic really. And if the beta is essentially the same as it was a year ago, that's pathetic too. I know from reading the boards over there (when I still could) that many of the beta testers thought it was a piece of cra*. (feel free to supply your own "p" there).

Weather here for Christmas was glorious - high 60s. I don't miss snow, ice, freezing cold even one little bit! Big Grin

There is a story behind this bigfred guy. I just don't know what it is. He is making less and les sense everyday with his biased opinions. I think it's backfiring on him or maybe even SD if they hired him.

For the new comers. I have been using Auctiva for a lot of listings already. There are some issues, but overall, pretty happy with the free service. I can even use Ebay-motor here, which is not an option with SD. Templates are way better here. I don't how long Auctiva has been doing this, but I am sure glad SD did this 85% price increase thing. It did drive me to look around.

Don't try to use logic when reading biggfredd's posts. It's a fruitless venture into a Mr. Know-It-All dimension of ego based rantings. I mean, it's all Microsoft's fault! Everything is Microsoft's fault -- Muwahahahaha! Let biggfredd stay there defending SpareDollar until the end of time.

I first released Auctiva Poster in early August 1998. That would make us 3 years 2 months older. Why either that or a listing count matters I'm not sure.


Well Jeff, you're right of course, it shouldn't matter one way or another. But what BiggFredd is trying to say in his very inartful and biased way is that since Auctiva is free (I don't think it always has been, has it?), and it's been around longer than SpareDollar (not sure that's true for the free part of Auctiva) then if Auctiva is better than SpareDollar, Auctiva should have more people using it and more listings on eBay.

Err I hope that made sense, it wasn't a very good sentence. Boiled down, if Auctiva's free and better than SD, and been around longer too, then BF thinks there should be a ton more listings on eBay that use Auctiva than the number that use SpareDollar. What he's leaving out is that Auctiva hasn't been free for longer than SD has been around. He often omits important parts in order to make his "point", which is often inaccurate because he leaves so much pertinent information out of his analysis.

Ya better watch out there Jeff. Biggfredd might wanna compare your lister to his.
Kinda like a "my lister is bigger than your lister". Eek

Besides, comparing apples to oranges is fruitless. SpareDollar lost my respect both as a 'paying' customer and as a human being a long time ago. SpareDollar could be free, work without a hitch and I still wouldn't use it.

There's something to be said for professionalism and loyalty both of which SpareDollar is lacking.

Enough said.

Hey there!

Glad to see you enjoyed your Florida Christmas. There's another cold front coming in this evening..supposed to be in the 30s. BRRRRRRRR!

On the Bill "thang," it's all heresay. I can't say it's the truth or not as I haven't seen the copy and paste. I'm sure if I asked, I could see it but <shrug> well, the shrug says it all.

The rackspace phone call was verified by a few and was mentioned on a message board elsewhere I belong to with much huffing and puffing from SD members. I don't join in...<shrug> no sense in dwelling on what didn't happen to me.

The way I look at it is this..we have a phone number, it's listed right on this site plus the offer of more phone numbers has been given. There are other persons that belong to different auction management sites (not SD) that have easy access to their management when problems arise..That in and of itself speaks volumes.

Yep, the beta testers have verified the same thing you spoke of..that it's basically the same uploader as last spring. <shrug>

Each to their own is all I've gotta say. Just respect my choice as I respect their choice. (and stop dissing me to boot)

Glad to see you're living warm in FL!
<smile>
Happy New Year!

Welcome! Welcome!
If there's anything I or any of the other members can do...don't hesitate to ask.

Plus, as long as I've been here we've had the customer ticket for help and it's worked very smooth.

Enjoy!

I just moved over here a bit before Xmas. A gal from Overstock told me about Auctiva, Sade. I love it here, and am glad I found you guys. I have been at SD for 2 years, almost since the beginning. I posted on the boards for a long time, but not much in the last year. Been to busy selling on more then one venue. I already like it much better here at Auctiva. Easy to learn, and nice features. I haven't run into any problems yet? You all sound like a nice group of folks. Smile

Hey you two!

C'mon in...if you need any help, don't fail to ask.

Customer service is great, I've been here since middle summer and others have migrated here during the last few months. If you need help there's always been the ability to fill out a customer help ticket.

There are quite a few of we migrators here..we're busy getting up auctions and having a life! <wink>

Drama? SD boards? Nahhhhhhhhhh...hard to believe! We don't have drama. Plain & Simple, no drama..we're too busy life and trying to sell to make mooooooolah! <smile>

Good Luck & Best Wishes for Green,
Donna

Thanks for the warm welcome donna. I was brighteyes on SD. You might remember me. I used to post alot when I was new over at SD, and kept it up for a long time all through out the upgrades that lasted like forever LOL! Remember how awful that was?? It started in October, and was horrid for several months. Yeah, I had my times with BF, but I just kind of steered clear of him, and once he accepted me, he left me alone, but he loves to pick on newbies. He can be nice, but his EGO gets in his way. Tomas lets him have free reign. When I 1st joined, Tomas posted quite a bit, and you could email him and get an answer, but from what I am hearing, he is hardly available anymore. Customer service is very important. Seems like help is readily available here. Thanks again for the Welcome! Cool
