To answer a few of your questions.....
I'm here because its just a bunch of us talking. With he exception of Travis, no one has an agenda. Swap'n ideas and story's and finds.....
I don't use ST because:
1) your blog entries are usually useless. They don't give any information. They are opinion pieces. I understand. Hard topics when laws vary from city to city, state to state. I do enjoy reading them. They are amusingly written, in a good way. I just pop'd over and red the stolen prop and gun ones. Didnt answer the question you proposed. I didnt finish and know the answer. Your fault? Absolutely not. How could you possibly answer those questions nation wide? But it was a waste for me to read, info was wrong for my state....
Here? We have discussion on those topics and get feedback. Correct answers? It's the Internet, who knows? But get you thinking and researching to add content.
2) ST has no auctions in my area of hundreds of facilities and a population of many million.
The dates you have next to the facilities I'm attending this week are wrong.
Again, I totally don't blame you. Facilities here change dates constantly. No way your keeping up uless facility has ability (and does) update your site themselves [I want compensation for this idea
]
Ex: called place two weeks ago, Are you still holding auction today?
No, it moved to next Monday.
(Monday) auction today?
Nope, moved to Friday
(Friday) auction?
No, you missed it. We had yesterday.
Pretty much the only way you would of known it was going on is if you had gone to the auctioneers other auctions......
Last two thoughts:
I won't use online auctions until people learn to use a camera and something towards capturing your subject matter. Four blurry pictures and one from ten feet away with shadow across door just doesn't cut it. Bidding is risky enough.
I have no problem with you or ST. But the unprofessionalism of your comments I have a problem with. I don't do business with people that talks down about competitors. I've addressed this to Travis in the past also. He has apologized and removed his comments. I think removing your rants is not a bad thing. Its to your benefit that he removes them, IMHO
..............
Okay, just went back to read over this to see if my rambling made sense....not really but also noticed it sounded like I was smashing your site. Not my intention. Meant to be like constructive criticism.
Just say'n.
Also, sorry for typo's and dang autocorrect.....it was a rant, typed fast on ipad. To lazy to go fix. Deal with it.
