Is the new SitePoint Marketplace putting off buyers?

    Actually I am starting to get a little worried here, SitePoint is where I conduct most of my site sales. I am just getting used to the new updated SitePoint Marketplace, and haven't listed on it as of yet. I'm not sure what to think of it really. I personally thought it worked fine before. But I guess I don't really like change that much.

    I was checking it out for the last couple days and I am seeing a very BIG decline in BIDS on sites. Just check out the Established Sites for Sales, the whole front page has maybe a majority of 9 bids total....
    Thats not usual for SitePoint. (maybe because its Easter Weekend too though)

    Anyone else noticing this? Have you had troubles using the new Marketplace there?

    I used to buy and sell on sitepoint, Unfortunately when the new updates came in I didn't like them. I haven't visited for the last few days, and alot of auctions on sitepoint are now being advertised on the B/S/T section on here!

    Well, they are still changing stuff. For example, on the frontpage of the forum, the icon for "New Messages in this Section" does not work. Even if there are new posts - the icon is dead, so that made me close the site a couple of time :)

    I haven't conducted business there, but some ads were pretty good. Also, I think the prices are too high there. $5-$10 for a new thread... no way.
