Wow, This last year flew by, Can't believe we are here already. Well our Bonanzle booth did well in 2009, Can't complain. Hoping for a much better year in 2010. January will be a time of extensive bookkeeping and then It will be time to dig into revampin all 3,300 listings.
Well in November we opened a new store front on SOC Exchange, Maybe you've heard of it, Maybe not. It's a pretty simple format and cost is $1.00 a month or $10 year in advance, We started by running a few test items to see how things worked, After 2 months we got our first offer for a $10 sale, Followed by a $50 dollar sale, That was enough to get my marketing juices boiling and now I have 52 items in our store at R Sales Online 2. I used the same ID as Bonanzle, So far so good.

There is a big difference between Bonanzle and SOC in that there is no community and very little support, So you better know what you are doing there. Both sales were offers and once accepted neither buyer coudls figure out how to checkout, Easy fix was to just request payment via Paypal and that worked fine.
I'm still waiting after a week for a return email from support, there are no commission fee's here at SOC, So once you pay your subscription your all set, The listing format is pretty simple as it is only one page and allow 7 pictures as well as You-tube up loads to your page, Placement is a problem with the videos in that they cover part of your description which you have no control over.
All in all it's a fun site and I'm looking forward to adding more inventory as time goes by.We have no duplication in this site, Everything is separate from Bonanzle.
As I mentioned or maybe didn't a while back, We have "had" stores on Ebay, Blujay, Ecrater,ProBidz,Yahoo and WagglePop. I have to say bonanzlehas been the best, Since support is awesome and has remained the same since we started with them in Sept 2008. You won't find a better support system anywhere.Plus the community is awesome.
We are looking forward to a prosperous 2010, Wishing for all of you the best year ever, I know for many it's been real tough this last year, Things have to get better
Our thought and Prayers are with each and everyone of our readers.
God bless from Larry & Charline Harris @ R Sales Online
