Relax guys it's just a re skinned site with the same inventory...The Wordpress community released a pretty significant update that completely changed the page building editor. Not just an update, but a completely new editor. I'm sure it has left many scrambling for a "new" website....nothing earth shattering.

That’s the first thing that came to mind but figured I’d throw you some “positive waves”.

There is some pretty funny irony in that statement.

I just checked his “new” site just to see what the updates were. The only updates I can see are the outrageous asking prices. 14k for a ND sub and 15k for a Sub date. Both previous iterations.

Who is the end user at those prices? I feel like these are primarily traded amongst dealers and with every trade/sell they go up 10% in prices. I doubt regular joes are walking into his shop and dropping 15k for a regular sub walking out thinking they are the best thing since sliced bread.

Some of the pictures arent working properly.

When you click on the listing the picture is TINY and you cant even click on it. There are other bugs as well when I clicked on a few models the website doesnt display properly - but then you click on it again and it seems to work.

Are you hosting on the cloud? AWS/Azure?

For example - YG SkyD. Look at the page

He’s also done quite a bit to support this site. Which is more than can be said for most.

Just sayin...
I appreciate those who do great business and do not price gouge. Love the quote in your sig!!!
