welllll.. people often have questions about the various storefront platforms available, and want info on which is best. Along with that comes the questions "Do they have a solid system" and "Do they have solid support?" As it turns out, Shopify has neither. That has a lot to do with making...

So, Basically: 1) Shopify has had "developers working on the problem" since 2007 2) Store owners complained like crazy in 2013, Shopify gave them the runaround, even though they were persistent a) Owners kept getting the "developers are working on it" answer b) they were told "its fixed" c)...

Hi Flagship11 Thanks man! Do you have any experience with them? Do they ship quickly and cheaply? -W

Thanks for the help! Adrian, it could be you were flagged for selling weapons mostly for the telescopic bats. Pocket knives are sold by the thousands every day on EBay. You would do well to list the knives as "Camping" equipment, or tools. Any others? I am particularly interested in knives...
