Since the Last Time I Posted.............



...lots of activity in Washington, DC but that's another story. I hope everyone has been well in the last month and a half.

I haven't given any tips in a while and since I am getting ready to hold a Bonanza, I thought that I would offer up some extra advertising information. Many sellers will know where these links are, but buyers may not know where these bargains can be found and sometimes close to home with local pick-up. Bonanzlers are so creative!

Usually 1 week prior to my Bonanza event I will link up to these sites:

AOLclassifieds.com
Craigslist.com
LiveSimon.com
Oodle.com
Walmart.oodle.com

While these are great links, the most powerful tool for the best deals is right on the Bonanzle home page. It is the upcoming Bonanzas' links under the Buy box. Christmas isn't too far off and savvy shoppers are trolling for all the bargains now. They aren't waiting until Black Friday this year!

Well It Has Been Awhile... My 1st Year Anniversary Has Come & Gone



There's a "Point" I'd like to make. I don't get here as often as I should, but I never forget a treasure or a pleasure. Those who know me, know that I have been oh so busy with so many endeavors but I try to make the rounds periodically on all my activities. Just to update........ I passed all medical tests with flying colors, so I am one of the lucky ones!

Second, I have been interacting with many political - up and coming - movers and shakers. It has been very enlightening. I do not envy them one iota.

Lastly my Bonanzle booth has been keeping me hopping. Whether it has been a local direct sale and lead or my booth alone, I am still one happy camper.


Booth Item Stats
Local items removed for sale do not show but:
Currently for sale: 545 items
Sold since booth opened: 129 items


Thanks Bill & Mark

Anniversary on Bonanzle in 4 Days = 1 Happy Year



Now I don't say it as often as I should, but I think of Mark & Bill every time I sign onto Bonanzle. Whether I receive a message, a sale, or just changing my monthly banner, I give thanks for the best alternative platform selling site since Gold's Auction. That site too, way back when in the wee beginning of e-commerce, gave the Monster a run for its money.

Believe it or not, some early sites caved and were absorbed by the eBorg. They didn't have the passion, the pleasure, and the patience to allow their seed to grow and bloom as Bonanzle has. I admire the technique and simplicity of the site, and the magnificent changes (all too often copied by small fry guys or even hamburglers???)...



...and upgrades that have done so much to compliment the selling and buying experience.

All I can say is that it's been a great year and my hope is for many more years to come.

Bonanzle - Opportunity Selling



5 Days from now, will be my 1 year anniversary of cutting the ties that bound by eBay and Paypal.

14 Days from now, will be my 1 year anniversary when I bravely visited a Beta site called Bonanzle and signed on. It was in the works, needed a bit of tweaking, and a few extra attributes and it was rocking. Just 3 weeks after adding some items, I believe 25 items or so, I sold my first item locally and it was a pickup, not a ship out. That was scary and cool at the same time.

It's been a rocking year in more ways than one. I always love picking a winner! Many things have changed or upgraded but what was true then, is true today. A seller on Bonanzle is in control of their own business with the blessings of the owners and administrators. Thank you Bill and Mark for creating such a successful site and taking a chance with so many sellers.

Back to My Bonanzle - I Have Been Slacking



Getting back to work on Bonanzle. I have been slacking terribly. I will pop up a few new items here and there into my booth, usually after a sale or two. And I have been involved with so many events lately (excuses, excuses, I know). However, it's just over a month away from my 1 year anniversary with Bonanzle, and I want to really increase my item count. I have been quite pleased at the performance/sales and have planned for my next Bonanza on my Bonanzle anniversary date. Will Blog more details as the date nears.

Some key Bonanzle Current Stats:
# Your booth last sent items to Google Base on 06/10/09. Nice!
# Your booth has 509 items for sale.
# This site currently has 65921 users.
# 2,028,399 items found for Anything
# Has a booth..15516 total

My Fetish - necklace - I will be adding sometime today. lol
