Loupe Troop-New Jewelry Listing Site

[iheartscience]

Has anyone checked out Loupe Troop yet? http://loupetroop.com/ Word on the street is that some PSers started it since DiamondBistro keeps being down and is now charging for their listings. (Not to mention it's WAY easier on the eyes than DB and the name is AWESOME. ) There's a decent amount of stuff on there already, but it looks to be pretty new.

I have to say, I love having more options for listing jewels-I don't trust eBay anymore since they always side with the buyer. And I'm so glad PS has the Pre-Loved section now!

I think it's just great. I like it a lot and the picture format on the listings. And DB charging now-- I understand it, but when I am paying for something I'm going to really picky about how it works and DB just doesn't work well enough to pony up for me as a website. It's only the exposure and the PS friendly aspect of it that had me listing/buying on there. But if I can get that same variety of both buyers and sellers on a different site free, then I'll happily check it out and give a shot. That's just the way it is for me. Of course, until it takes off I'll be looking on DB still but I do hope it takes off.

omg ditto this. DB is down pretty much every day, and it's slow, and my messages are incredibly unreliable, and I just can't imagine PAYING them for that. I use it to buy, but if I had anything to list I would be very skeptical of it.

Wow - I didn't know DB was charging now. That stinks. But I think this new site looks great so far - lets keep the word out!
