Bonanzle Gets New Server That Is 8x Faster & Auction Wally too

So many new and exciting things are happening at Bonanzle! We have a new server that is being put to work as I write! A quote from the updated blog, by Bill at Bonanzle:
"New server status: My current "best guess" is that the new server will be online early next week (sometime between Monday and Wednesday). We have the computer hooked up, and will be moving all the goods to it over the next couple days. Of course, those goods include more than 3 million pictures uploaded... so it's hard to say exactly when that will be finished. But I think that early next week is a pretty good guess. Please bear with some slow page loads between now and then -- help is coming!" I just love these guys! We are never in the dark as to what if going on at Bonanzle. Now on top of the new server other new features have been added as well like the "wish list" and the "save for later", search and replace of item descriptions to batch editor, batch edit now gives user a warning before doing something that can't be undone, just so much is happening this week! Another plus for a lot of sellers is the flat rate international shipping that has also been added. This morning I seen on the boards that Auction Wally is now doing a show on Monday nights called "Brainstorming Bonanzle", that will be a live call in show! Starting Monday, November 17,2008 at 8 p.m. eastern time, Auction Wally with co-host Mitzi Swisher will be doing the show live with call ins and of course the live chat! Make sure that you go to http://www.talkshoe.com to register before the show. Then go to http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/31369 so that you can follow the shows. The last Bonanzle show was a blast and very informative. Make sure that you get a user ID and password set up before the start time, don't want to miss anything. With a listing count of 297129 and 7898 users that is a lot of items and nice folks to work with.

Like I said these are just a few of the Bonanzle Booth owners that are now doing a layaway plan. As I learn of the others I will update this list. This morning Bonanzle listing count was at 290670 and 7787 users, now that is a whole lot of items to chose from and a lot of nice folks to work with. If you stop by and the site is running slow, we are in the process of up grading our server to one that will be 8x faster than the one we have now. I look at this as growing pains. Like labor and delivery, there will be pain and what is born is truly amazing!

Bonanzle Booth Owners & Layaway Options


Talk about a creative community of Bonanzle Booth owners, with the holidays coming and the economy the way that it is, some Bonanzle Booth owners are now doing a layaway option in their booths. Layaway used to be something that could be done at nearly every store in town and now it is a thing of the past. Maybe due to credit cards, who knows. I was inpressed with the idea of an on line layaway plan! There are many Bonanzle Booths that are now doing this, I will try to get a list together of those that are doing the layaway. Gift Certificiates are also now an option in a few of the Bonanzle Booths. This is great for that hard to buy for or oops I forgot person. With a listing count of 286494 this morning and 7658 users this makes for some great shopping! Bonanzle makes it so easy to shop! Layaway options, gift certificates, Money Orders and some even still take personal checks. With the real time chat, you can ask the seller questions right there. No waiting for e-mails to be exchanged back and forth. There were a couple of items that I was having a problem locating and with the real time chat I was able to get both of the items. The Bonanzle Booth owners have lots of items and if you don't see something, chances are real good if you ask you will receive!

U Donate - U get a $5.00 Gift Certificate!! $1.00 Here is what this is all about:

Meet "7"...

"7" was one of Michael Vicks fighting dogs. Bradon Bond (Extremely famous Tattoo artist and one of the best I've ever seen) rescued "7" along with a couple other pit bulls seized from Michael Vicks home of horror!

"7" was hit and killed by a car almost 6 months to the day after she was rescued from living in hell.

However, before she died, she truly knew what it felt like to be loved and cared for, instead of beaten and abused.

She was about to be legally adopted by her foster father, when she slipped out the door between his legs and ran into the road. The gentleman that hit her rushed her and her foster dad to the vet, however "7" passed away on the way to the vets office.

This Listing is going to help Benefit one of Brandon Bonds favorite Rescue Organizations. Villa Lobos Pit Bull Rescue - and in "7" Memory I am giving everyone the opportunity to make a donation to either All or Nothing Pit Bull Rescue which you can read about here http://www.myspace.com/allornothingpitbullrescue or Villa Lobos Pit Bull Rescue which you can read about here http://www.vrcpitbull.com/

In order to donate, just click on the Offer Button and place the amount you wish to donate. For each $5.00 or more donation, you will receive a $5.00 Gift Certificate for anything in our Wicked_Scents Booth.

100% of the donation will go directly to the Rescue of your choice. This is just to kewl!

It is my hope that those of you who believe the Pit Bull Breed is a Fierce and Threatening breed, will take the time to visit these two Rescue Organizations and see, that Pit Bulls are no different than your family Black Lab! They deserve a chance at life and they in return will give you nothing but tail wags and licks. They will make you laugh with their clown like attitudes, running and jumping in the air and throwing their toys around. They are amazing creatures and as the Humans, we need to help them survive! Now she also has some fabulous candles too! And wonderul gift sets and just in time for the holidays!

4psqu070_thumb200
3 Ounce Square Votive Gift Pack - AROMATHERAPY TRANQUILITY b $9.75 This is an awesome set and just a super price! What a great gift idea! Everyone loves candles!
For the coffee lover in your life this is the perfect gift and the price is right!

While a Bonanza is going on the Bonanzle Booth owner is also available to chat with you in real time. So if you have questions, you can ask right then and there, no waiting for the e-mail exchange. Most people don't relize that they can also instant text someone while they are on line at Bonanzle. This is great, if you need to get an answer and the Bonanzle Booth owner is on line you can just send an instant text message to them. No matter where they are on the site, a little window will drop down and your message will be there. The Bonanzle Booth owner can respond to you right then and send it right back to you. You can also leave a message in the chat box and if the booth owner is on line, again a little window will drop down and your message will be reveiled to him or her.
