jolie halloween

Emer’s little dog Jolie is certainly getting into the Halloween spirit!!

“I’m all dressed up, and ready to party!

Looking for treats, and maybe some smarties!

If you would like, I can show you some tricks!

High five, roll over and run and fetch sticks!

Remember, I love big juicy bones!

But fireworks scare me, and make me leave home!

So keep me inside, and turn up the telly!

So I can get busy munching on jellies!”

It’s all about numbers, numbers, numbers

Growing numbers

We at DoneDeal are a bit nerdy, we love numbers. I know, numbers can be mind-numbing and boring, but in the end a web site like ours is all about numbers.

One important number is how many people actually come to the web site to buy and sell.

Another important number is how many things that are advertised for sale.

And the most important number of all is how many of the ads that actually end up with a sale.

We look at these numbers on DoneDeal all the time. Here are some of our September numbers:

  • Over 2,500,000 customers came to DoneDeal to buy and sell in September
  • An impressive 9,344 ads sold on DoneDeal in September
  • The total value of items sold on DoneDeal in September was €20,906,000 (and that is only counting the ads that actually tell the price)

What do you think about those numbers?
