All I got to say is
IF it should ever happen and ecrater.com starts selling stock
and somebody don't tell me - I will be pissed as hell!
I been here since March 2005
working to build ecrater.com to what it is today ever since I started listing here - actually probably about a month before that.
I would come up with the cash some how because I know this is the greastest place there is!!!
In all reality - I doubt it will happen. |

|

I don't think any investor would buy a stock unless there was some profit to it.
As ecrater gets a lot of stores up and lots of sellers, it will have to start charging fees.
Ecrater is not a charity.
Once sellers are established with a store, small initial fees will probably be acceptable to the sellers, especially, if they are making sales.
Now, on the other hand, if ecrater wants to be bought up by a competitor, that is another story. That could happen.
I hope not. I like ecrater. And I advertise for ecrater, myself, with business cards.
Has anyone heard of any solid news of Ecrater wanting to be bought up? |

I am reminded of Martha Stewart who I have really come to like lately.
I used to make fun of my cousin because she liked Martha's Television Show.
Now, I also just love her Garden and Cooking tips!

You have to purchase stock at the inital public price -- but you can legally be on the list to 'pre-purchase'. There usually is some sort of rule -- for instance when our bank went public, you had to be a depositor as of the first of the year.
In the old days, the price would rise almost immediately so even if you sold an hour later, you could make money. |

Yeah, but eCrater already has lots of active stores and sellers and has had them for quite a while. It's been around for four years, you know. |
