“so we have reset your complimentary voting points to 2220″

Just look at the business concept before judging my email. A kid can look at the potential for making money with this system and say “ARE you CRAZY?”

“so we have reset your complimentary voting points to 2220″

I do no care what anyone says, if there were smart they would show it by at least to exit with dignity. Which business gives 24hr notice to close?

smart business man plan for exit as well. there were no explanation but “Good bye” and we are trying to sell our business domain name and technology for SIX figures. That is almost as stupid as the business.

I am not surprised at all. From one domain A DAY to auctioning like crazy, it was obvious from start that these people had NO SOLID BIZ plan to start a Business.

sorry to see you go but your deserved it.

I would call it far from a failure. if you read Sahar’s blog as I just did he mentioned that within minutes he had offers coming in to buy the business in a range of six figures. if six figure offers are pouring in within minutes then its pretty obvious that they are going to sell the business off for much more

to any of the detractors here, let’s see you build a site up from scratch and within two years peel it off for 7 or 8 figures.

they built something of real value. Kudos to the whole Bido team and good luck to them all in the future

I was slow to give them a try.
I had countless domains I couldn’t sale at Sedo,DNForum,and several more places.I had my domains everywhere. My first week using Bido I made a truckload of sales and about everything got voted on.1 out of 4 sold above average I was told. Today I pushed 3 more domains to new homes on Bido and just saw the notice. They became my first listing platform for quick sales. I learned to like the Bido platform because it worked for me.”Bido” deserves a strong sale and I think this service would have had “exploded” in cash flow had it had a little time and/or additional features.

Jim – sure, I’ll bet you that the past week has been horrible for the owners of Bido and that, when it reopens, they won’t be the owners.
