The admin area is sorely lacking, which means hours spent manually processing orders, listing auctions, reports, etc. That's just not a good way to spend your time, when more sophisticated and time-saving administration features could be had elsewhere. Compete.com shows Vamooza.com's unique visitor count only averages 48/day over the 9-month reported figures and that includes spikes due to advertising, not just organic search. Not exactly a heavy-hitter. Breaking it down further while giving the benefit of doubt, if a generous 10% of those unique visitors were to splurge on a $75 gold package, then the site would only have $375 a day to fund it's auction items. Slim margins. No wonder the investors moved on... I recommend you do the same.
