They are all following Ray (the single proprietor of wagglepop.com) to the letter, especially BargainBloodHound

Doesn't appear that he does, or that any of the others do either based on their ability to post the same crap on countless message boards and the very limited number of auctions that they are running:

If you look at this thread...

...you will see a lot of familiar names that have nothing to do but try to wreck other people's businesses (FLvamp, SneakyDave, ToyRanch, RossShow, etc.). Now if you look at this groups current ebay auctions (they ALL use the same userIDs whether they're posting on a board or listing on an auction site), you will notice that this group of PowerSellers are running very few (in some cases, zero) auctions--gives them more time to engage in their "fun"..

Since we are dealing with a group of trolling powersellers, my question is why do they think it is alright to spend weeks attempting to wreck/destroy someone else's business?. I'm sure if the tables were reversed and a large group of people spent a month trying to wreck their auctions, destroy their personal and businesss reputations they would not regard the attempted destruction of their businesses as something to sit around and laugh about (or as FLvamp said when TR embarked on yet another destroy mission to FAS: "Watch the fun"). SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE TO THINK ABOUT...and after thinking, perhaps its time for everyone involved in "the fun" to treat other people's businesses and personal lives with the same respect they would want to be treated with....

Tekobari calls them a nest of thieves and liars, and who wouldn't agree with that?

There you go, and what else would you expect from that nest of thieves and liars?

More to the point, ross, there have been lots of disagreements, fights and other shit among you and others. Hell, you and I have had our little skirmishes. But NO ONE would ever seriously believe you capable of auction interference. How long has this libel been going on? Seriously, it's the first time I've read something like that, and I like to keep up with OTWA and the other auction boards.

Who are the people primarily behind that shit?

Our first front will involve sellers notifying their existing buyers of their presence on Wagglepop, and funneling them there.

Good experiences will naturally foster extended word-of-mouth buyers to check us out.

I'm working now on:

targeted e-mail
press releases
banner advertising

I think though if we are all pro-active, initially, in not only recruiting, but have the recruited do the same...combined with a good shopping experience, we'll have a strong initial foundation.

It's going to be work, and time, but isn't it better to be in on the ground floor of something that could be really big?

I have a couple of targeted opt-in e-mail campaigns lined up, where we could reach as many as 7 million 'e-commerce' interested people in 30 days time.

Industry click-thru on that is 1%, which translates into 75,000 visitors.

That would be a nice boost!

I'm also working on something that will give us that one big "splash", once we are up and running, something that will get our 'name' out there!

Time and hard work. We've got plenty of people willing to put in both....I say, there's no way we can fail!

I think it will be a testament to all of us once we are a success, and the rest of the e-commerce world can see what we can do when we have a plan, a committment, and work together.

UPDATE: "Everybody Hates Ray" and his ambiguously gay duo superhero "Matt" from FraggleRock chime in about sneakydave.com. Matt says its no big deal to him and Ray, but we've seen their behavior before. They think its just free pub for FraggleRock! We all know that's seldom the case. These guys think they're originals. The whole group of them think nobody has seen this type of scheme before! Judge for yourself, then nod your head when you've agreed with me!

Including myself, and anybody with at least an 8th grade education, TRB regulars don't have much nice things to say about "wagglepop" either. And again, Ray doesn't have a pot to piss in, nor a window to throw it out of! Brilliant!!! Ray and Matt are mixing the King Size Kool Aid jug right now!
