random thoughts:
When a chick says
“eh , (your name) . you’re so good in guitar ! can teach me ? “
means she confirm like you . Teaching chicks guitar is super seductive ..
imagine , correcting her fingers and playing with them , whispering in her ears and smelling her hair , telling her she’s a naughty girl cause she forgot to do her homework
oh shit , better not send your daughters/girlfriend to me .
Some of you may know , i started a lelong store on May’09 .Like 2 months ago ?
Why ? for hope of course . i always thought that lelong.com.my is a unique market that i haven’t reach .

After 2 month of enjoying the service , yeah sure there were some sales generated from there, especially people from Sabah & Sarawak …but..
Rant #1 The process
The process of getting verified is a pain in the ass . Because i am going under “business owner” ..i heard being verified as a seller is much easier ..
I have to submit all my documents including my license , registration form , current account , telephone bills..etc
Oklah , fine . Sounds fair . I mean it is a good thing that lelong.com.my has a good security system to prevent fraud .
So that i abit bo-song already , but still boleh tahan lah ..not thatttt piss yet..
Rant #2 The Spam
After starting my lelong store for 2 weeks , i felt that it was a bad decision .
Why?
there is a **cking spammer spamming the whole site ..
Award goes to .
wanchoon store

just type ..”Guitar” on lelong.com.my , you will see REPEATING post of this dude’s product..
and the worst part was , he has taken ALL the keywords that is related to guitar..
including “Ibanez” “Epiphone” “Fender”
and , he is not even selling them ..Ibanez alike guitar yeah ..
.

Ok lah , it is a business competition right? may the best man wins .
i will be totally cool , if wanchoon pawn the shit out of me fair and square and i am the loser . really .
The thing is , i am selling THE REAL THING , a genuine Ibanez that is made in JAPAN .
and his cheap ass China made Ibanez Alike guitar has a better ranking than mine ? what the heck man..
I emailed lelong about this spamming matter , oh yeah they responded with something like
“Wan Choon is paying some high price to get his ads to the top”
so , money talks , even spam also can jalan lah ? ok nvm . fair
Rant #3 the bomb
Today i found out ..
lelong also have a system called
premium
(yes lah i damn outdated)

and of course , wanchoon is the first to sign up as a premium user (just happened)

GG bro
Lelong.com.my + wanchoon officially pawned Music Master Studio .
…i think it is a dumb ass move lah
now or days you cannot sell at lelong anymore , you do not get decent rankings ..let us not talk about traffic ..
You see ah
I don’t mind getting pawn .
I do not mind being the 5th , or even the 10th . But being on the third page and spams are higher ranking than me ? wow . If wanna pawn me , please pawn me with honor .
Yes i am ranting i am jealous because somebody has so much budget to pay for their rankings , and the poor gapnap do not have a budget for it.
i know wanchoon you big time seller , i small time seller
Mr lelong , i know wanchoon is one of your VIP client .
but personally , i think the whole system is just wrong and not healthy lah .
Buyers will soon get sick of ..
“huh , lelong? dowan go there lah . same stuff for sale only , by the same seller some more”
and , you think other sellers will enter and sell ? no . it is too expensive to sell at lelong already.
Let us wait and see .
i am sure other lelong store owners (selling musical instrument) are pissed off as well .
To those sellers who wanna start inventing RM250 into a lelong store . think twice .
no , you do not “double your traffic” by getting a lelong store .
I can get 200 hits in Jamtank within 3 hours
In Lelong i get 20 hits for 1 week .
come to think about it , i am damn glad that this whole “sell musical instrument online” is not my only rice bowl..
at least i have my events , equipment rental , jamming studio , walk in customers and guitar lessons to back me up …
the whole industry is going down because of a greed-money-making-ranking system.
May the best man wins.
