I’m joking but its been four years since my last sale and it would be nice to be recognized for hanging in there.
I do not use social media to advertise my items as I have found that no one I talk to has ever heard of Bonanza other than the TV show.
I sell antiques at various multi-dealer shops and when I mention that I have other items for sale on Bonanza, I get blank stares.
I wonder what would happen if Bonanza were to advertise itself. Would people check it out? I have never seen any advertisements for Bonanza.
I do not plan on leaving Bonanza anytime soon as I believe this site will become more relevant as the other sites change and or/fade away.

@sjtantiques, sorry you are not having the best experience. We are so glad that you asked! We had a quick look at your booth and see that you are offering the same items on eBay, for the same price as Bonanza. So when a buyer finds your items in Google, they are presented with the same ad for the same item, at the same price. With zero incentive to purchase it from Bonanza, they go to eBay, where you will pay higher fees for the sale. In summary, you may be inadvertently driving buyers to eBay, where you pay higher fees. We would recommend that you delete your inventory, run a fresh eBay import, and utilize the discount option (between 1-10%) to bulk discount your items from eBay to Bonanza. That way when buyers find you in Google or other search engines, they will have an incentive to buy from your Bonanza booth, because the prices are cheaper. Give that a try and may you have many sales soon!

I would like a badge for 22 months from the date I became a seller in that I have not lost my sanity.

22-month sanity badge…okay, I will settle and wait it out for a 2-year sanity badge.
