Has anyone seen GoldenGadgets?

TrueBlue · Jul 7, 2004

That subject line pretty much asks the question. I used to visiting the web site every couple of days to hopefully find some new light. But for almost a week GG has been...down, nonexistent...gone?

Anybody know where the web site went to? Did they go out of business? Are they still around to order from? Has anyone ordered from them and NOT gotten anything?

I see GG is still selling at Ebaby.

Thanks!

Interesting....hmmm?

Anyone check out the GOLDEN GADGETS web site lately. It was taken over by, uh, "vDeck"?

And another strange little trick is when I tried to pull up a Golden Gadgets Ebay auction I get the dreaded no-information "Invalid Item" page RIGHT HERE.

Stranger and stranger it gets.

I emailed GG through Ebaby's mail system but I didn't get a reply from GG. At least not yet. Has anybody ordered from GG lately? Any sign of them?

The only thing that makes me want to believe they are still around is their banner; it remains on CPF, which means they are probably paying $20 a month. However, I have never seen a banner removed from CPF, so I'm not sure.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

If anyone sees the banner "roll around" on cpf, click on it and see what happens. I'm curious.

It says "welcome to vdeck"

Uggh...that is NOT a good sign. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I went to one of the lights they sent me in May, clicked on the link, and got that "Welcome to Vdeck" page. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

Isn't Botach's banner removed?

Oh,must have over looked it.

GG is trying to make a come back! They are trying. The web site is broken and the only information GG is passing out is the same kind of information I get from my cable Net service when they are broken. Or kinda like, "If you would like to call, please hang up and try again."

The GG site says:

"The site is currently down for maintenance. Please excuse the dust, and try back later."

They get removed. But usually get put back up pretty quickly once the dealer realizes that it has been removed and their dealer designation for the username has been removed. I give alot of "grace time" for bannerad donations but I do draw a line eventually.
