Blog chain Letter to boost membership

Ok if you stumbled upon this blog, you must immediately go to http://www.Rummagemonkey.com and register as a member its free, and then you must pass this link on to five friends.......If not I am pretty confident that large fruits and vegetables will start sprouting uncontrollably from your nose, ears, and other spots on your body at very inappropriate times causing severe shock and embarrassment.........

Actually all that is nonsense, We have been chugging along in beta for quite sometime and the site continues to improve daily, we are getting better and better Alexa ratings each month, but we really need you to not only view the site but also take a few minutes and complete the registration!

We not only want vendors with inventories (we will be happy to bulk upload) We also want the guy with unused items at home to post in order to make this marketplace a true vast collection of old and new!

We will be uploading a verification system shortly, on top of that we offer lots of different ways for vendors to accept direct payment, including Paypal, Authorize.net MC, Visa Amex, Discover, Google checkout etc.

Shortly we will launch Sister Sites http://www.Rummagemonkeymotors.com and http://www.RummagemonkeyRealty.com

Interested in Posting your banner on Rummagemonkey.com or any of our sites. Send an email to info@rummagemonkey.com we will get back to you with a custom quote and show you how to take advantage of our growing traffic!

Just Pure Unabashed Website Promotion!

We have had a lot of changes at Rummagemonkey.com , including a major server upgrade that now has the page loading at an acceptable rate!

We also lowered fees for items between 0 and $12 , It is free to list items with one picture, and final value fees are very competitive. Also the small store can now host 500 items for just $5.00
We have added SSL via Controlscan to the members area.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Discover via Authorize.net , and as a vendor you can as well!

We also accept Paypal, and several others, Also we have a simple messaging system to allow for vendors to communicate with sellers and finalize their sales however they like.

We have enabled Google Checkout as a way for fees to be paid. We are also working on a brand new payment gateway for the site that will allow not only Google Checkout, Paypal etc. to be used by vendors but will also have identity verification and escrow services built in.

Other items:

We have registered two additional sites that will have a small upfront posting fee and no other fees what so ever due to nature of the items. they are
http://www.Rummagemonkeymotors.com
http://www.Rummagemonkeyrealty.com
They are not live yet, At the moment you may see our parent site Rummagemonkey.com We will keep you posted and alert you when they launch.

Bulk Uploads, We have had success with getting bulk inventories online efficiently, to date we have successfully put inventories ranging from 100 items to over 17,000 . Send us your spread sheet and we will work on getting yours up on the site as well. We are working on a program to allow vendors to do this themselves but do not want to release something that is not user friendly.

Lastly we believe communication with our vendors is Key, Call us or email us info@Rummagemonkey.com and we will be happy to work with you in order to get your items on our page!

The World Wide Wait

Wow....We started our website http://www.Rummagemonkey.com back at the end of summer, after several months of planning we officially launched last November.........That's officially..lol definently not efficiently.........We are working diligently on trying to get this site to a level where a good advertising campaign makes sense. To do this we must have the site functioning to a point that users can access it quick, that has yet too happen, we went with a hugely respected host, and their new fangled "Grid" and it has been a nightmare, it has gone down more times than !@@&$*#* ok I'll skip that thought seeing how we are trying to appeal to a broad audience!

We are working diligently on getting our servers upgraded and we will not rest until we get this site loading fast and efficiently!

We have added over 57,000 items a pretty good feat for a brand new ecommerce site, Send us your excel or XML file and we will be happy to ad your inventory to the count! We currently have tons of Music selections including Reggae, about 1500 Bottles of good wine, and lots of Camping Supplies, So if you want to get drunk in the woods and mellow out to some tunes, we are the place to get all stocked up!

In the coming weeks look for the launch of http://www.Rummagemonkeymotors where car dealers will be able to list inventory for a flat fee

Join Rummagemonkey.com today its free and our fees for stores and closed sales are very very reasonable! Got a site and want our banner? Or want a link on our links page send an email to info@rummagemonkey.com
