other Bido: We Are Back

Not a single .com on the front page...

Ouch.

First enlighten us with your definition of succeed...

The opposite of failing

If they make $1000 a week it may be enough for them to call it a win, who knows.

You may be spot on. $1000 a week is probably close to what they used to be making with V2. Personally I would say it's a lot of effort for meager results.

I really would like to see how they are going to make V3 right. I though they were brought down by lack of revenue due to the endless stream of bad domains listed on their marketplace. Perhaps I was wrong and there were other reasons.

First enlighten us with your definition of succeed...

The engine behind the site is done which is a huge part. They have experience in what works and what doesn't. If they make $1000 a week it may be enough for them to call it a win, who knows.

I heard a quote this week...can't remember who said it but they were successful.

"I failed my way to success"

it's what we all do really.

Anyone that gets knocked down by the first two pitches and gets back up to the plate gets my applause.

I think bido had spent about mid to high 6 figures on the development. And speaking from development and owning few sites, making a thousand a week, will not recoup their investment after spending that much in a development. It is not that we do not want bido to succeed.

It is my opinion that I feel that Bido will again. I said the first two times as well when they shut down in the past, that they will fail with their platform. And they did. I am saying it third time as well, they will fail, because their platform sucks.

4000 profit from a site, that had spent over or close to 500,000 , is not going to stay up for a longer time, and out of that 4000, i assume they have employees working as well which are looking to be paid. So unless they change something, they will not be able to get stronger. In matter of months you will see the page again, "Bido is Now Closing"

You "assure" us BIDO will fail? What qualification do you have to make that statment?

Were YOU made privvy to their 'new' business plan and capitol funding?? NO!!!!!!

So IMO you are talking out your behind

Let me tell you one thing, when I said assure you, I am stating my own opinion. I do not want to have any qualification to make this statement anyway, I have seen with my eyes and bido itself had proved to fail two times already. If you do not know or forgot that bido had failed twice, then I would advice you to search on DNF, and also ask Sahar that why is not he standing still by bido.com this time, because he knows now that bido will not succeed with the platform they had created. So yes, I assure you again, third time will be no different and they will fail again if they keep continue what they are doing.

My advice to bido or jarred is that Change something to succeed this time.
