Does anyone visit Stockfresh? I had high hopes for them because of how well I did on stockxpert…but I have yet to make a sale! Ridiculous! They’re worse than crestock, and that’s pretty bad all by itself!
Yes, it definitely was not what I was expecting either, but from reading Peter’s comments at MSG, it sounds like they are starting slow and building the catalog before they pump a lot into marketing. Here’s the page of the thread where Peter was talking about marketing:
