Quote from: mcguire39 on July 03, 2013, 02:09 pmAtlantis attracted vendors by offering them steep discounts or I think maybe even free setup if they were already an established vendor on SR. But right I don't think at the time they had the customer base (and probably still don't). But they probably wanted to get vendors lined up first. No sense putting out your Youtube videos and stuff only to have people come and find like 3 things for sale.You raise a fascinating point. They didn't take their investment far enough: they should have given away 20 dollar coupons to all new customers that are verified as being "real people." Which would probably double it because you'd need manpower and oversight for that, so say that would be $40 per new customer for a month. Plus some scammers would get through, call that an extra cost of $5 per customer average or something. How many customers in a month? I dunno, personally, but a month seems like the longest you'd want to run it... but if I had had 20+ to spend on drugs on Atlantis, I might have actually tried making a purchase. If I had made a purchase, I might actually still be making them over there. That would be easy enough to make up on SR, but I don't know the fees at Atlantis. Maybe they're too low to make this viable.... and who am I kidding, $20 isn't enough. It would have to be at least $50 for me personally, but most people don't even want as many drugs as I buy let alone actually buy that much: I'm sure $20 would have been enough for lots of people. Could have worked. Could still work, I guess. The whole idea is to get the momentum going, and right now, SR is killing that momentum. Just need a wee bit of help.Or it could dig them an even deeper hole, I suppose. Interesting to consider though.
