[BlackAspic]

www.resellerratings.com

RIP

This is a repost and shouldn't be in Hot Deals. There is a thread in Off Topic that you can search for. In it, Anand himself suggested that he'll be opening a replacement site for it soon though.

 

[Rally1]

that does suck

hope they sold their database, and someone else will throw it up

 

[nippyjun]

It would be nice if the data from resellerratings.com was given to anand to use.

Although it is off topic, I'm glad he posted it here because 1) I never read Off Topic and 2) MANY people who read the hot deals forum use Reseller Ratings.

Good post BlackAspic!

EXACTLY

 

[Rally1]

if they use reseller rating so much, wouldn't they figure it out real quick

 

[kindest]

eeeeeeeeek, why did they go and do that.

Glad to hear Anand is thinking about making a replacement.

[Rally1]

it's true this is a repost, and the last one was locked

 

[UF Jspec]

Thanks for the post! We need a Resellerratings replacement.

 

[RISman]

What about Bizrate?

 

[dimwit]

Why not bizrate? Compare the ratings of TigerDirect at RR then at bizrate.

 

[psxQ]

Anybody know another replacement for RR? Bizrate doesn't have a lot of sellers that RR had.

 

[emjem]

Double Exactly

 

[wjsulliv]

Glad to hear there maybe a replacement...

However, this was already posted and locked in this forum.

 

[XeonTux]

I triple that exactly!

Perhaps if Anand has some plans he should reveal them and tack this up at the top of the forum?

I was just there the other day, they could have given warning. Maybe they didn't want ppl ripping the contents of their site like I would have?

 

[Sesopedalian]

I used them all the time. This is really bad news.

HOW TO CONTINUE VIEWING RESELLERRATINGS:

Use google's caching features. Unfortunately this requires several trips between the cached pages and google searches.

If you know you want the "A" index, enter the following into google: http://www.resellerratings.com/a.html then view the cached page.

For the main page just enter http://resellerratings.com/ because some indexes are of combined letters

Locate the company, right click on the Comments link, and pick Copy Link Address, then paste that URL into a google search box. Select "Show Google's Cache" for the result that appears.

It may not be quite up to date, it is a pain in the ass, and you can't add ratings, but you can still find out about that company you never heard of before!

"Is there anyone making a ResellerRating replacement?"

It's already done, just waiting to be launched

Take care,
Anand

4X Exactly...quadruple that.


I don't go to OT all the time so it's really helpful for lazy people like me to have people post some OT stuff to keep me current.

 

[olouie]

true sadness

 

[SgtZulu]

don't matter to me,only shop Newegg

 

[richd111]

Or check it out with the wayback machine here.

In this case, it's "way back" to 9/01, but still better than nothing.

VERY sorry to see it go.

i think tomorrow somebody will post another one of these
