Bonanza convention?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

So other selling platforms have annual conventions or ‘fests’. Does Bonanza have anything similar?

Sparkles, early on they did. I went to Seattle for the first Bonanzle Up! get together in May, 2009.

It was good fun to meet the Bonz Boyz and the other sellers who attended. I still have my signed T-shirt! :)

I went to eBay Live once in Las Vegas, but it was so huge. It was pretty interesting and I did’ meet some nice people from forum groups I was in, but since I left eBay in 08, I’m no longer in touch with any of them.

Okay, so it was 9 years ago…I was think maybe 10. I also forgot the proper name of it. It was super cool. I wanted to be able to go. I remember Gladys went..cannot remember her user ID though.

I use to enjoy reading about the annual gatherings at various places, but they discontinued them a few years ago. It must have been a refocus of priorities. Always had cool pictures of the people who attended and sold on Bonanza. It was a different time when people were looking for a seller supported site and were happy to find Bonanza. Sadly, so many now want it to look like eBay. Just my opinion so don’t go postal. ;)

I’m trying to remember the name of another site where the owner went and meant Bonanza at the convention….this convention I’m thinking of had to of been from about 10 years ago. It was so cool keeping up with it and so many of us were excited.
