Booth chats?

Do people use booth chats? I’ve been here for half a year and have never seen one. Can anyone send me a link to see what these look like? How / when do you get them?

I’m lucky if I can get people to even look at my booth to purchase something let alone chat but I am not on 24/7 so its more of a comment if they stop by on occasion.

I’ve never seen one, and I usually have Bonanza open in a tab so it shows me as active most of the time. I do get messages from buyers occasionally that come into “messages” and also my email, but I think the chat is different (maybe?).

Used to be quite common….but that too was when the regular forums were also open…sellers would get together to chat, sometimes hold booth auctions…etc. I do go by on occasion to say hi to some friends, check up on sellers I don’t see regularly since the demise of the forums…

I have used the chat in the past to help buyers with checkout in the old days or negotiate a price before purchase…

I also leave notices from time to time in the chat

Not so much anymore….

Totally agree with you Cindy. There was more “community” and we would let people know an item of their’s was tweeted and such.

To Answer Brilliantly

Remember these tips:

  • Use links to other sources to support your opinions
  • Use examples where possible
  • Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?

Should I post a comment or an answer?

You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?

Post an answer for:

  • Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question

Post a comment for:

  • "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
  • When you would like the original poster to provide more details
  • When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
