Question
This EBAY price increase has basically sent a message to the small and mid-size seller that built their (EBAY) business... "Thanks for coming...nice to know ya...we have to move on." It is common in big business. The smaller core that built a business are often traded for the masses. Were early True Value Hardware customers upset after True Value went national and they were no longer appreciated or recognized as individual customers? Golfsmith did it to the clubmakers (customers). Golfsmith promoted clubmaker custom clubs over name-brands, though as soon as they needed growth and realized growth rates were higher in brand names, they brought in and promoted name-brands golf clubs over custom clubs. This was done the expense of those that built them and were still holding the inventory that Golfsmith sold them. EBAY, whether they know it or not, are after high volume, and brand name seller. Makes sense to me us. WaggleSnaggle is not making any gaurantees...who are they? They will do the same thing in a few years...they will have to to grow too.
We have seen many auction players come and go. WaggleSnaggle had better have some marketing dollars and a campaign, because the window of opportunity is small. WagglePopsicle...you will only have that short window to capture customer loyalty. Odds are against you. The peasants are rooting for you.
It may well be that selling on auction is a great part-time thing. The pattern by every auctionsite (like eBay and WagglePopcorn) may simply be just like we are currently experiencing. No future as full time ocupation, but a great way to move some unwanted items.

After reading a ton of stuff on someother message boards, and seeing that waggle really did go KAPLOP these few thoughts come to mind:
I think its sad the site didn't even last a month. For someone to work so hard and long on a project like that and then throw it away over night as if it was something they did to just "kill time" is deplorable. I don't understand why people start things they can't finish and quit because of a few bumps in the road. It seems to me that Ray is more of a ( starts with a P, ends with a Y) then anything, and brings to mind the old cliche "quitters NEVER PROSPER"
While WagglePOOP was just new off the ground, to go down without a fight or even try to sell the rights to the site for a few hundred bucks is just senseless and insane.
Let the downfall of WagglePOOP (before it was given a chance to rise) send a reminders to all of us:
1) Don't start something you dont have the B's to finish.
2) Knowledge maybe power, but WILLFULLNESS, HEART, and HARD WORK are even more powerful. Without them, you've got nothing
3) Quitters never further themselves in life and will always look back thinking "what IF" What IF we could all quit something when things didnt go our way and still succeed?
