Hi everyone,
I’m still pretty new to Bonanza — I’ve been on for about a week now. I’ve uploaded a few hundred items so far, and I’ve got around 3,000 more waiting to go live. Even with that, I haven’t made a single sale yet, so I’m hoping to get some advice from more experienced sellers here. No sales yet ?
Right now, I’ve got my advertising level set to standard (13%), but I’m wondering if bumping it up to elite really makes enough of a difference to be worth it. Have any of you found that the higher tier pays off in terms of visibility and sales?
Also, for those of you who sell collectibles, antiques, or higher-value [URL removed] do you feel Bonanza attracts the same kind of serious buyers as eBay — people who are willing to pay strong prices for rare or unique pieces?
Any tips, insights, or personal experiences you’re willing to share would mean a lot. Thanks in advance — I’m excited to learn from all of you!

Sadly, your not likely to make very many sales here, if any. I have been here for over ten years. Sales uses to be pretty good until the site was sold. Since then fees have risen, support has disappeared and sales have dried up. To make any sales you can try the highest tier membership, highest percentage for your final value fees, and do all your own self promotion. Bonanza does not do any promotion. Good luck

agreed. We also have not sold anything like most sellers that come here. Most likely becuase your listings are totally hidden from anyone on the internet and of course no one has ever heard of Bonanza. So you stit here and pay listing fees while nothing sells. Thats why they must charge the listing fees, cause they know nothing will sell.

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
