BB & Airsoft Guns On eBay Malaysia

While browsing through eBay Malaysia recently to update myself on the latest products available on eBay Malaysia that are offered by local sellers, I noticed quite a few sellers selling BB and Airsoft guns.

I believe the administrators of eBay Malaysia do not know the country law which disallows buying, selling or owning BB and Airsoft guns. These are considered 'dangerous weapons' and truly they are if used inappropriately.

If I remember correctly, Lelong Malaysia has already banned listing BB and Airsoft guns and this was in effect probably two years already or longer. I guess Malaysian traders of such products have taken their items from Lelong to eBay Malaysia.

I think the trading of BB and Airsoft guns online has to be stopped before these BB and Airsoft guns get into the wrong hands and used with criminal intent.

Online College Courses

My cousin, who just started his college early this year, told me that it would be better if he could take his courses online. When he enrolled in college, he did not know yet that online college courses are available for him and although he could always opt to study online now, I don’t think his parents would allow him to do so. Well, they have the final say since they are paying his fees!

I think that many people still have the misconception that they will have difficulty looking for a job with a college degree from an online university. I think that this fear is unfounded as long as the degree is from an accredited university. If I have the time, I too would like to take up courses online. Studying would be a whole lot easier for a working adult like me.

Thumbnail Images

I have been actively scouring a local online marketplace for the past few months. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I am trying to buy a used car and I would like to do it online to eliminate the need for a middle person. Hopefully, the car that I would eventually buy would be a whole lot cheaper than a similar car parked in the garage of a used car dealer.

I browse the site so regularly that sometimes I catch them at a bad time when they have a problem with their image hosting services which would not display any thumbnail images but instead, small camera icons are shown.

I find that when that happens, I just don't care to browse the site at all. I find it very time consuming and tedious to keep clicking on each item listing to open the page and view the images and read the description.

With thumbnail images, I could skip through the items offered if the thumbnail images do not catch my attention. It definitely helps me to browse through the items at a quicker and more efficient pace.

Slight Delay

If you have been eagerly awaiting my new items to be listed on CyberPartyGal's WebStore, I am sorry there will be a slight delay. You see, my pet dog, Snoopy, has fallen critically ill a week ago and I couldn't do anything else but nurse him back to health.

Can you imagine that I haven't been out of the house this past week? Even when Snoopy was slightly better and showed signs of improvement, I didn't even have the mood. I didn't lose my appetite but the long hours without sleep have caused me to lose a few pounds. I guess I am keeping away my appetite suppressant for the time being.

I promise that I will list my items online as soon as I could do so, especially when I am not dead tired taking care of my sick dog. Thank you for your patience!

Shipping From Overseas

A friend wanted to purchase a spare battery for his new video camera. he said that to save cost, he would purchase two more units for two of his friends who are using the same model of digital video camera.

He found a seller selling a compatible battery (not genuine) at a cheaper price on eBay and asked me how to ask the seller a question. So I told him that there is a link to "Ask Seller A Question" but unfortunately, he was not able to proceed because he is not a member of eBay.

I asked him to show me to link to the item and also the questions he would like to ask so that i could do it on his behalf. Before I proceeded to ask the questions, though, I told my friend that these batteries would be shipped from Hong Kong and not USA as he had thought, because the Seller listed his location as USA.

The lesson to learn is that if you are planning to make a purchase online, make sure you know where your item will be shipped from. The difference in shipping could be huge.

Petronas Kad Mesra Form

My mother says she would like to change her Real Rewards card to the new Petronas Kad Mesra. However, if it's just a matter of changing cards, it is not difficult.

The problem is that even though I have received the mailer informing me of this change and what options I have back in early April, 2009 and was made to understand that forms would be available at all Petronas stations from 20th April, 2009, I have been to the station nearest my house numerous times and still have not been able to get hold of a form. That is not a problem, except that we have to submit our form latest by 1st May, 2009 or all our points that have been accumulated to date would be void.

I am thinking that Petronas is making it so difficult for us to convert our Real Rewards points to Kad Mesra so that they could confiscate our points, saving them a considerable amount of money in gift redemption. I may be wrong but this is what I feel. If not, why aren't we allowed to submit our form online?

Dreaded Letter

I received the dreaded letter from Customs on Saturday and believe me, I have been living in suspense over the weekend. I am going to claim my packages today and I hate the feeling.

No, it is not because I want to avoid paying customs taxes; it is because there is no fixed tax rate that I wouldn't even know how much I will be taxed. Taxes are imposed according to the officer's whims and fancies. In a way, this is good because there will be a slight variable in costs, which could mean cheaper products for my buyers but only if the tax imposed was low!

Well, I have to go now to the Customs office and let them "slaughter"! I have no choice, do I? Wish me luck! Thank you!!

Indoor Exercise

The weather has been so wet this past two weeks that I really couldn't get my dose of daily exercise around the neighborhood at all. Luckily, my new neighbor has a pedal exerciser at home which I am welcome to use so I could still exercise and in the comfort in his new house!

This neighbor actually lives a few doors away but has purchased the house opposite of mine a year ago and had it renovated. Although everything is ready and it is completely furnished, his family will only be moving in next month. So I still have about two weeks to pack in some indoor exercise.

Well, I may just purchase my own pedal exerciser later because I love it a lot and will miss using it!

Delivery of Stocks

It's been said that waiting is the hardest part. It's probably true. Right now, I am waiting for the delivery of two consignments of lingerie to restock my Store. Yes, you heard right. I am back in action after laying off online selling for quite awhile as I had to attend to some other online making money businesses. LOL

My packages were shipped on Monday, 4th May, 2009, from the United States and it is already 16th May, 2009 today. As of now, the packages have yet to arrive and frankly, I am getting a little apprehensive. You know how things are with Pos Malaysia! And I have been a victim before, sad to say, hence the apprehension.

I hope my items would arrive without problems so that I could start my online selling business rolling again but first, after delivery of my consignment, I would have lots of groundwork to cover, from taking to editing photos to listing the items on my Store, eBay and Lelong, at least.

Making Easy Money Online

My friends are always looking for ways to earn extra money. I guess we could all relate to that, especially those of us who slog at low paying jobs for long hours. Even though I may work at home and enjoy time flexibility, I too continue to look for ways to create additional income streams so that I do not have get tied to my job and instead, enjoy some free time to do whatever I like. Wouldn't it be great if all of us could go away for a week or two and not worry about where our money comes from for the month?

I got to know of TheRichKids online income program just last night. This looks like one of the many programs that I have been using unsuccessfully so far, but apparently, from the testimonials of users of the program, this one works.

Right now, I am not able to see how sitting at the computer for 15 - 30 minutes daily would bring in big checks every month but the prospect of cutting down on so much of my online time is seriously appealing!

One time membership fee for the program is US$14.99. This is a limited time offered. I have to say that I am seriously considering trying this program out. It looks like it’s the cheapest around by far!

Kindling - Wooden Kindle

If you have been shopping at Amazon, you would have seen adverts for Kindle, the handheld portable reading device. Amazon recently came out with Kindle DX, a larger version of Kindle targeted at school going children with the hopes that it will eventually replace school text books. Imagine that! Don't you wish to be back at school again?

Blogger Rob Cockerham, who blogs at Cockeyed.com (notice the surname), has this brilliant idea of carving a wooden Kindle, which he has named Kindling and has put it up for auction on eBay.

At this point of writing, the Kindling has already attracted 17 bids with the highest at US$77.66, a pretty good fetch, if you ask me and way cheaper than Kindle. This would make a great gift for someone who has been hankering for a Kindle but is thinking twice because of its price.

Quantum Scalar Energy Sports Flask

My mother and brother both told me that they have lost weight and they say that it's because of the water that they have been drinking from the quantum scalar energy flask. The flask is actually mine but I have never drunk from it before. I asked a friend who also uses the flask if he had the same results but he said he doesn't use it all the time so he did not notice any difference.

I mentioned this to another friend of mine whom I know is trying to lose weight. He said he has more faith in pills and in fact has been doing research on phenphedrine. He has been reading extensively on phenphedrine reviews by users who all have glowing reports on how effective it is. He says he wants to try that first. So be it.

Return, Don't Destroy

I read with raised eyebrows the other day when eBay made an announcement of a policy change which required buyers to destroy items which they thought were fakes, and then get a reimbursement for the fake item that they have purchased. There was certainly a really large loophole there to be exploited.

I mean, I could buy something which is genuine at a high price, and then cry that it's not authentic and proceed to "destroy" it. I would end up getting the item for free when I am reimbursed for the price I paid, if you get what I am saying.

eBay, after that hoo haa, has made a correction to their policy and buyers of items which they think are fake would have to return the item to seller and not destroy it.

Seller, on the other hand, if failed to prove that the item is genuine, would then have to promise not the list it on any eBay marketplace and n some cases, have to get the item destroyed by a third party.

Seriously, this is one complicated procedure. Why don't eBay just set up a similar marketplace for lookalike items? I am sure that would be even better business!

Home Office Worker

I told a friend that although I see many of my old school mates in Facebook, I did not contact them. My friend doesn't understand why. I guess the problem lies with myself, where I feel "small" compared to my friends who are now career women holding high paying jobs as accountants, architects, Mesothelioma lawyers, engineers, doctors, etc.

Me, I am just a home office worker, working at my own small business. Of course I love the time flexibility but I still haven't reached the level of having residual income even though I may miss a day, or even a month, of work.

I know that many people are still puzzled why I opted for such a lifestyle for myself when I could have a similar high flying career like them. Beats me as well. I guess I just went with the flow and took what was presented to me.

Block List

A friend was saying that there's a buyer who played the fool with her "For Sale" items on Lelong. Well, I know how it feels like as 90% of my items on Lelong are "For Sale" too, as opposed to live auction. Well, that's really up to the seller.

The thing is, we, "For Sale" sellers, we also face our share of joy buyers and the problem is unlike auction sellers, there's nothing much that we could do to warn other sellers of such joy buyers because everything would be conducted via email so we aren't even able to leave a negative feedback or something like that.

The only thing that we could do is place these joy buyers in our Block List so that they (this ID) would not be able to come and disturb our sale again. However, of course they could set up another ID and do something similar, if they have so much time in the world to do so.

Personally, though, I do not like to place anyone in my Block List. I think that even a joy buyer or joy bidder has the chance to shop with us sometime in the future, after they have changed their mind, or finally have enough trust in online shopping.

Jonathan Aston Fleur Lace Net Tights

A few of my girlfriends are so used to wearing tights that they feel "naked" if they do not wear it. I don't really like wearing tights because I don't like the feeling of something wrapping around my legs. My friends recommended me net tights but I am too rough that they get torn soon enough. This is the reason why my friends who pack extra tights in their handbags. Can you believe that??

I came across this pair of delicate lace Jonathan Aston tights which doesn't look suffocating at all. It comes in my favorite candy pink color but what I like most is its overall lace floral detailing which is really soft and feminine looking.

I could imagine this pair of candy pink tights making a good match with clothes in black color, white or even another shade of pink.

This pair of Jonathan Aston fleur lace net tights is only retailing at £9.75. A very good deal, if you ask me. Still lace tights have never been in my dress code because I never know how to avoid getting them torn as soon as I put them on. I know, though, that my tights loving friends would love this pair of lace tights!

Free Shipping

Many of my friends and fellow eBay sellers who are selling on eBay bait for viewers by offering free shipping. Of course, shipping is not exactly free as it has already been calculated on the starting price of the item. I was told that auction listings that offer free shipping are given added exposure in searches hence the extra viewership.

Also, free shipping has a psychological effect into making buyers think that it is a good deal, without stopping to think for a moment that they are already paying for shipping at the get go, unless the item closed at a ridiculously low price, which is really rare. And that’s the wonder of online auctions!

Anyway, if you find that you have difficulty letting go your items, perhaps you should try this “trick”. Throw in free shipping and see if you are able to bait more potential bidders!

International Relocation Headache

My friend, Neil in Japan, is relieved to know that he has escaped the pink slip again. You know, the economy is so weak that one could hardly tell if going to work one day like usual would be the last day at the office.

The funny thing is that Neil is relieved not because he gets to keep his job while his office mates are forced to leave one by one. He is more afraid of having to move again than to look for a new job. Neil has decided to return to the United States where his family is, should he get retrenched but the thought of an international relocation is not as appealing as it once was when he decided to accept the posting in Japan.

From what I understand, Neil had a horrendous experience, with some of his items broken, or worst, misplaced all together. Neil told me that he would not be surprised if one of his boxes suddenly turns up at his doorstep one day!

I guess the problems faced by Neil was because he did not engage a company that is experienced as Boston Moving Company, a company that would take the best care whether they are moving home furniture, office equipment or even priceless pieces of fine art.

Maybank2U Important Notice Phishing Mail

I received the following email from "Maybank2U" with the subject header "Important Notice" yesterday morning. It is a phishing email that was sent to my junk email account and made to frighten me to click on the links provided in the email, thinking that there is something wrong with my Maybank2U account.

Of course, when I receive something like this, I do not take chances and still would log into my internet banking account directly from my browser just to check if everything is in order. Sure enough, nothing was wrong.

Hovering my cursor over the links, I could see that they are not the real URL of Maybank2U; surely not. Also, note that the email address that this email was sent from was maybank2u@may2.com.

Besides, as far as I know, Maybank or any other local bank does not email their customers, especially not asking them to click on links or provide banking or personal details over email or through the phone.

Anthropologie Old-Hollywood Glam Swimsuit

While looking for a used car online, I came across a classified ad where a qualified swimming instructor is offering private group swimming classes for children and adults at his own swimming pool at home near my area.

My sister has always said that I am missing something good because I don't know how to swim. Believe me, I would love to learn swimming. Now that I am older, I think my fear of water has lessened but then it is so embarrassing to learn swimming at a public pool.

I actually forgot about this advertisement until I came across this Anthropologie swimsuit. Actually, this stunning Tierney one-piece swimsuit with a paisley scarf-style tie is not for someone who is a beginner because it is without doubt an attention grabber and surely, no one wants the attention when she is fumbling in the water trying to stay afloat! How inelegant could one get?

This one-piece Anthropologie swimsuit retails at US$178 which I think isn't too bad at all considering its old-Hollywood glam style. I am going to show this to my sister. Perhaps she would like to get this so that she could show off this stunning swimsuit or her swimming skills this summer when her community pool reopens.

Vehicles & Motors On eBay Malaysia

I mentioned in an earlier post that I am looking to buy a used car online. I know that it’s safer to purchase something expensive like a used car offline but those from used car dealers are always way more expensive and sellers now know that they could reach a wider pool of potential buyers online.

So I was checking out various online auction market places, classifieds, and also used car portals and noticed that the Vehicles & Motors category on eBay Malaysia seem pretty quiet.

Of course, at this time to writing, I just checked and there are 5343 listings but many of these items have nothing to do with cars or vehicles at all, like air filter or laundry ball for washing machine. Products that have some relation to vehicles and motors include car decal stickers, car alarm and auto alarm lock.

Hello, I am looking for a USED car and not a die cast car, car decal and definitely not a laundry ball for washing machine.

Business Is Not For Everyone

My cousin brother, who is a lawyer, but has since set up his own business, told me that if he has a choice, he would rather be attached to a major legal firm.

Working on his own, even though business is flourishing, he has to trouble himself with so many other aspects of running a company from administration, accounting, finance and PR, besides legal issues.

My cousin told me that when he was employed, he was dealing with legal cases every day, from mesothelioma to criminal law, from corporate to family law and to him, that is way more exciting and challenging than building his own company.

Well, didn’t I already say that business isn’t for everyone?

Offer To Sell

I received a message through Lelong's auction messaging system a couple of days ago, where this newly registered member offered to sell me brand new porcelain wear. According to him, I am assuming this is a guy, he is also from my same city and it would be easy to meet face to face for a transaction.

He must think that I am mad or something. Why would I meet someone whom I do not know and has zero trade history to make a deal with him? If he is really looking for a genuine sale, wouldn't it make better sense to just list his item on Lelong and not go through so much trouble messaging everyone? I am assuming that he is messaging everyone he could find who is also in Ipoh.

So no, of course I wouldn't be taking up on his offer for sale even if I was interested in his "set of brand new Vantage porcelain wares", whatever that is!

J. Crew Silk Dupioni Rosette Gown

My sister told me that she kind of regrets that she did not have a proper wedding reception but then she thought that since her family is not around, there's no point making a big deal out of the wedding.

But then, after five months, my sister still owes her colleagues and her husband's workmates a dinner. My sister would not be wearing a bridal gown but I came across this exquisite J. Crew dress, actually not really a "dress" but an awesomely stunning silk dupioni rosette gown, that would fit the evening perfectly!

This J. Crew gown is really for those with deeper pocket but it is so elaborate, with its fitted bodice, interior corset and tulle underskirt, it is worth splashing $3000 on for such a special occasion. Yes, you read right. It is $3000 for the gown and it is specially packed in a custom-made box.

This rosette gown comes in two shades, ivory and warm blush. Frankly, if I were to choose a color, I am not able to make a decision because both are just as beautiful!

Only problem is, my sister is a little short. Even I am taller than her! So she may have problems carrying this dress elegantly!

eBay Consolidates North American Customer Service Centres

eBay has decided to close down their Customer Service Centre in Vancouver, Canada that employs approximately 700 people as a cost cutting measure and to consolidate North American customer service facilities. eBay stresses that this move will not impact the customer service of PayPal or Skype. They are separate entities, anyway.

To handle Customer Service issues in Canada, eBay will be expanding their Salt Lake City facility, which currently employs more than 900 agents.

eBay also mentions that they will be increasing the number of customer service agents worldwide. I just hope that they will not outsource the job to people who do not speak proper English to service English speaking countries!

Also, eBay should know that they are getting so many tickets because the agents never answer our queries fully and directly!

Silence & Noise Floral Printed Skirt

I have to admit that my friend is right after checking my wardrobe. I don't own that many pair of pants, and zero skirts. Not exactly zero. I do have skirts, just not anything that I would wear outside of the house. You see, I am so critical of my physical appearance that I KNOW I don't look good in a skirt.

While I may occasionally wear skirts at home, I think that long skirts would only look good on long legged girls while short skirts look good on girls with slim legs. I have neither long nor slim legs, so I better hide them in pants. LOL

Anyway, I was told to check out this Silence & Noise skirt just now. It's a soft knit floral printed casual skirt with high elastic waist and comes with drapey pockets on the sides which are really useful for people who do not carry bags like me. This skirt comes in red or teal and it looks to me like both have different floral prints.

This skirt retails at $48; frankly not something that I would buy because I know that it would end up unworn but may just suit my friend who nearly lost her mobile device for the second time just because she was wearing a skirt that did not have a pocket!

eBay Auction: Speaking Role In Shakespeare’s The Comedy Of Errors

I tell you, if I was in the United States right now, I would be bidding on this. It's an auction of a speaking role in Shakespeare’s The Comedy Of Errors, a theatrical production by the husband and wife team of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, for Shakespeare Festival.

Cast members include Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks, Martin Short, Christina Applegate, Peter Graves, Arte Johnson, and Shirley Jones and will take place on May 18 at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.

Since this is a charity auction, yes, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are joining other celebrities who are making use of eBay to raise funds and awareness for charities close to their hearts, proceeds from this auction will go towards Shakespeare Festival/LA, and its summer youth employment and enrichment initiatives.

At this point of writing, bidding is up at US $1,000.00 from a starting bid of US$9.99. It's still early days as this auction will only close on 1tth May, 2009. How much do you think the closing bid will be? Probably it will hit 5 figures. Well, we shall see.

Private Gaming Room

If you have read my previous post, you would remember that I have a friend who recently built a large house. We call it a "bungalow" here but then it actually is not; it's just a large double storey house.

I visited him last week and his house is already furnished except for the entertainment/games room. My friend is undecided on how best to furnish it; whether to turn it into a multimedia entertainment room with the latest electronic gadgets and paraphernalia, a gym, or a gaming room for the guys.

I told him that with that size, he could fit in a mini casino. Imagine lining it with Poker Tables and chairs and opening the room for friends every weekend. Of course it's not legal to gamble at home but among friends, playing without money but only poker chips, it's not a problem.

American Gaming Supply is a leading online retailer of poker furniture and custom made poker chips, offering discount wholesale prices and free shipping on poker furniture across the United States.

If my friend was so inclined, he could even order his own custom clay poker chips with his own logo or branding. That would be awesome. Hmmm wouldn't that turn him into Lim Goh Tong wannabe? LOL

eBay To Handle Dispute Resolution

In an earlier post, I posted on eBay's announcement on some policy changes and one of the most drastic is the way buyers are able to make a dispute against the seller and if the claim is found to be in favour of the buyer, eBay will dip into the funds of the seller to reimburse the buyer without having to wait for the seller to do so. eBay has clarified that they will be handling dispute resolution and not PayPal.

Also, eBay's new Purchase Protection Policy and Seller Updates mean that if we are to continue to trade on eBay, we are deemed to be automatically agreeable to such terms of use. And if we are not agreeable to these new terms, we are supposed to terminate our account.

Wow, it looks like eBay could do with some of their members. It's like "take it or leave", that's the new policy and we have to swallow it. I am thinking that it is no longer safe to sell big priced items. Cheap ones are still fine. What do you think?

J. Crew Matchstick Jeans

I went shopping with a friend the other day and was surprised at her stamina. She could visit all the stores at the mall and try out almost all the new arrivals. In the end, she would only pick up a couple of items per store. I guess she wanted to pick the best and make the most out of her weekly shopping expenses.

I didn't shop too much myself but I did notice that matchstick jeans seem to be the IN thing right now. My friend bought something similar to this pair of J.Crew jeans, but of a different shade of denim blue.

This pair of women's cotton denim matchstick pants is a little stretchy, which makes it more comfortable to wear and not as stuffy. It seems that their premium indigo wash is the more popular color.

Even though I may wear pants more often than I wear skirts and dresses, I don't think I could fit into matchstick pants. My, I am so envious of ladies who have long, skinny legs even though they are already mothers! But then my girlfriend told me that women always buy jeans one size smaller. How come I never knew that?? I guess that’s why it’s called a “secret”.

Safe Trading Online

I recently read about an eBay buyer who was threatened by the seller after the launched a dispute and won and subsequently left a negative feedback for the seller. Actually, this is not the first case that I came across. If I remember correctly, someone experienced something similar shopping on Lelong.

If you think that shopping online is safer than meeting face to face, you couldn't be more wrong. Shopping online, if there is a dispute, you would have already communicated with each other at some level. Address and contact numbers would have been confirmed. With such information on hand, it's not difficult to track someone down.

Sometimes, if the amount lost is not that high, I wouldn't even bother to go through the trouble to lodge a dispute. One could never tell if the person we are dealing with would act irrationally!

eBay Vietnam

As eBay continues to receive much flak from sellers in their more established marketplaces, eBay continues to expand its global reach, the latest being eBay Vietnam: http://www.ebay.vn/

By the looks of it this is site is not wholly owned by eBay Inc. but collaboration with a local Vietnamese company. On the same day of the launch, another company which models after PayPal, was also launched to enable Vietnamese people to pay for their purchases even if they do not have a PayPal account.

I think that eBay Vietnam will be like eBay Malaysia, where there is minimal support and questions on the forum are slow to be responded to. Malaysia is still like the much forgotten child. On the other hand, perhaps things are better in Vietnam since this is a joint venture with a local company.

Betsey Johnson Pearl Floral Necklace

My sister has this love for pearls that only she and other fellow pearl lovers would understand. I like pearls too, just not as much because I think pearls are a tad too plain for me.

As I was discussing with my sister on Mother's Day gift, she proposes to introduce the beauty of pearl to our mother. I have no objection to that.

Coincidentally, I was shown this lovely Betsey Johnson necklace just now. It's a beautiful strand of pearl necklace but it certainly is no way plain as I have imagined pearls to be. I am at a loss for words to describe its beauty, just check out this image that I have enclosed!

This pearl necklace is only retailing at US$48 and well worth the money, I think! It's Betsey Johnson! One could never go wrong with her creations which are sure to bring the attention!

This Betsey Johnson floral pearl necklace has changed my perception of pearls. We can definitely do so much more with them! I think that it would have a dramatic effect on the wearer if it comes in a fashion jewelry set that includes ear rings, bracelet and ring. Or would that be an overdose? LOL

PayPal Mother's Day Offers

If you are in Asia, PayPal is offering some goodies for you for your mother. Well, you know that we are not allowed to participate in The Extended PayPal Win £10K Promotion so they surely can't leave us out, can they?

PayPal's Mother's Day deals are offered by participating international merchants from countries in Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Japan and India. Buyers could enjoy gifts for up to 50% off and also free international shipping. The only catch? Pay for your purchases via PayPal, of course.

To see the full list of participating merchants, check this link. I am having a headache just going through the list! No, not because there are way too many but the way they are presented!

Seeing Into the Future of IPOs

If you have ever invested into Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) before, you probably had done so "blindly". I admit I do that as well, investing without knowing my future returns. However, I am just a small time investor, my profit or loss is almost insignificant. That's why I figured that it's not worth spending too much time, money or resources to see into the future of IPOs that I invest in.

On the other hand, if you are a big time investor, director of new start up companies or even financial backer, Seeing Into the Future of IPOs is of utmost importance.

Of course, you could do this by putting up a team of risk and fund managers and corporate accountants but that would cost you a lot of time that you may not be able to afford.

Liquid Scenarios Enterprise know this and they have created a tool that would allow you to look into the future of IPOs and how they perform by modeling after similar companies and customizing their data according to your own requirements. You could have your very own analysis in just a matter of minutes with a few clicks of the mouse!

I understand that Liquid Scenarios is so easy to use, one doesn’t even need to be web savvy or high tech at all!
