    this camera with the dropshipper is not offering free shipping at the moment, regards of what level you are with them, so the ads that say it, just have the shippng included.

    also like I said, the cheapest one on ebay is 75 so still don't know where you are getting 40 from. the price for the camera even with the sale discount plus shipping is at 100 and a little less if your a gold member.

    well that is why it is 40 then. they bought in large quantities and are able to sell for such a low price.

    however people who live there or know about the site in question is the only ones who will benefit.

    you know about the store so obvious you wouldn't pay me 130 but for others who don't they might.

    I don't go for warranty items myself either. I am just saying how some are is all.

    you are right with this drop shipper you are either standard or gold and gold members do pay a smaller price but in this case it is not 40.

    like you I go for quality as anymore warranties are worthless and I alao look for the chepaeat but that doesn't happen every time.

    like I said above, I am just adding these and more to get some content on there.

    anyone can sell what they wish and for whatever price they wish to as well. whether items they own or drop ship items or items for other people.

    plus since I am giving out free accounts to people here, no one is out anything except maybe time.

    Time is money george. Point of advice. You want a site to run like ebay and get a bunch of people to join it and pay fees right? Then make your fees cheaper then ebay and nex tto nothing and build your site. I remember when ebay first started out it was real cheap to sell stuff on the site. Untill you get a million people visiting your auction site on a monthly basis I dont think your fee structure will make it.

    yes, I make a living off of ripping people off...are you kidding me? all I meant by what I was saying that you didnt get was that your comment was pointless unless someone knew about the same store that you know about.

    I can almost guarantee that if that store did not buy in bulk then it would not be 40.

    just like if you go to two different electronic stores, you might find the same tv with the same specs but different prices. just depends who they buy from and if they are havinv sales at them.

    if I made a living off of ripping pepple off, I would be in jail.

    The sword looks like a cartoon image...What am I buying exactly?

    If I list something on here will it be as easy for millions of people to see it when searching the WWW like when I list on Ebay? How many items were sold in the last year under the last name you had?

    and like ebay, if and when it does get real big, and if I have to, I will change the pricing structure, but I don't see it hapenning for a really long time really.

    any item from a drop shipper is always warranted.

    if you bid on an over priced item from anywhere that has 1 or more bids to it and it is not warranted then that is on you.

    I personally would never bid on certain items drop shipped or not without some type of warranty myself

    Well as I see it, if someone sells a cam that goes for $39.00 elsewhere for $130.00 plus shipping I would have no other definition then" Ripping off the patron".

    Anyone with a internet connection and a browser can find the price I quoted!

    yes the way the software is built, it makes it search engine friendly. just keep in mind though that the site itself is brand new so it might not be pulled up on the first page of any search engine.

    I have started though adding the site to all the search engines so the spiders will be crawling the site.

    to be honest with you, this site requires nothing from me unless something happens like errors or a dispute, or payments needing to be refundsd, etc

    I know at one time there was close to 20 people on the site and several auctions. can't say though if any of them ever sold or not.

    also before anyone says anything, when I shut down the site due to restructuring, I ensured that all auctions had completed and nothing was pending.

    in the middle of restructuring, things for my investment company picked up speed, so I had someone help me, but they did nothing and then the domain expired without me knowing.

    however, now I have things set up to prevent things from happenning.

    sorry forgot to comment about the sword. it is some type of wood that was carved and painted to look like how it doea. not one you can do anything with except to admire it really.

    Did a search and came up with 228,000,000 results for auction sites. I could not find your needle in that hay stack!
    Searched for extreme auction sites came up with 62,000,000 results.
    I now see why you did not want to spend much money for the domain.
    It will take an act of God should someone stumble onto your site. I would think you almost have to give the products away to get any action at all!

    this just gets better and better, I tell ya lol

    I found the one you see on ebay, but I also see it is not the same one.

    the link to the one on ebay http://compare.ebay.com/like/1107462...=sbar&_lwgsi=y

    the link to mine:
    http://biddingextreme.com/jazz-hi-de...s#0cc0588a0657

    anyone knows that items that are not the same will have different prices.

    also when I get back on my pc as I am on android, I will send you a screen shot of the item from the dropshipper. this way you will hopefully finally understand that the price I am selling at is not to rip anyone off but to cover my cost to the dropshipper and a profit as well. I am sorry but ebay could have a millin for 40 but I am going to charge what I need to to cover costs. simple.

    you might be talking about a different one then the one I found and if so then what I said above, you should re read it.

    I never said Ebay was where I seen the cam. you seem to be hung up with Ebay. I found the very same camera at a real store for $39.00
    If they got a good deal from buying a large quantity good for them. I am interested to see if some sap sucker actually buys it from you.

    wow, it is very apparent that you have never owned a business online.

    the domain is roughly a little over 48 hours old and the site is roughly a little over 15 hours old. yes, I would agree that it would take an act of god for it to be found right now. especially since I just started submitting to search engines.

    everyone:

    I am pretty much done with this thread. it is apparent that nothing I say is going to please injunjoe, and I am done with having discussions that are becoming worthlesz, since I have already made my point multiple times.

    bottom line is this:

    the site is similar to ebay or any auction site. simple to use and with time will grow into a very nice website.

    also as mentioned, to say thanks for the help, I am giving free vip accounts. just because you use biddingextreme.com does not mean you can't use any other site.

    it also has taken me just maybe 3 minutes or less to post items. choice is yours either way.

    if you do, just email me the username before you post anything.

    Why not make a retail website if your just going to sell dropship items? Seems it would be easier to do with a shopping cart. My father use to do this with stun guns and stuff.

    I have done that in the past as well. however, this is an auction site. the drop ship items items I just put up to get things started is all. anyone who registers is welcome to list anything that they wish too. just like with any other auction site
