I spent a week at OTWA, found it friendly, nice people too. But, I never spent that much time here at the RT & almost everything there is RT. Nothing wrong with that at all, I just prefer EO.
This is where I learned almost all I know about online auctions & all that goes with it.
I'm glad to be back & glad to see some familiar names.

I like it here, and I like the format over at mootropolis. Some reason OTWA seems to have a cheap software feel to it, and all those little annoying smileys everywhere.
I prefer nice clean looks, and AW and the Moo both have it.
I wonder what happens when Andale gets bought and/or bankrupt. Where are the OTWA people gonna run next, bidville?
ROFL! Sorry, had to laugh at my own thought there.

Actually if you look at things like the markets are at this time, everything has pretty much been shaken out, The companies that are left are pretty much the lucky ones and things are about to get better soon.

It takes more than luck to survive this dot com slaughter,without wall street hyping and venture capital money,all these dot coms have to learn to run a business just like the rest of the business world know all along.
if sales/revenue cannot cover all expenses on a cashflow basis,their days are numbered.
actually most businesses are on accrual basis,accounting for depreciation and amortisation ,good will as someday these capital equipments will need to be replaced.
refer to your own cybersales and you can easily see what i mean-how many of us are on the second or third PC,digital camera,scanner ??

It's time for everybody to go home if you can't be nice to each other.
Boy was I surprised to see my plea for help with 35 responses and to find out they all were not trying to answer my question.
I did not mean to start a name calling thread, was only looking for the answer to my question.
Thanks to those who pointed me in the right direction.
You were right. My email is free. I was thinking I pay for internet access so it's not free. Duh! I don't pay altavista.
Sorry
Now if you don't have something nice to say....Don't say anything.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution!
Just the mom coming out in me
When your at the end of your rope:
Tie a knot and hang on!
posted on November 8, 2001 11:36:27 AM newIs Andale or AW in the red or the black at this point
Both are in the black, not in the financial sense but in the "bull's eye" sense. EBay is going for the whole enchilada and any company that had made money out or is trying to make money from auction management is being zeroed in on.

My comp crashed for the last week, but just before that I went over to OTWA & attempted to register, only to find that requirement for a paid service e-mail. Well, I don't use that one, for 4 years on eBay have used hotmail for 1 account, yahoo the other, guess if its good enough for them, the heck with OTWA, and anyway since I use the services here I'm a grandfather. Isn't it strange how everyone seems to have some kind of nuisance clause!
