They definitely would have had some USP to raise $4.9mil in funding unless the investors have never heard of eBay and CL. Anyhow, congrats Matt on the new house :)

From what I see, livedeal is just craigslist without community filtering. Because of this, they seem to be a haven for puppy mill breeders and other sketchy people.

recently i had the displeasure of meeting steve harmon. he was full of himself and couldn't wait to brag about the torstar deal. i see it less as a credit to him as a dealmaker but as a way to safe his job at livedeal. -frank

Looks like a bunch of gossip and personal attacks fills Matt's blog, with random grenades thrown at anyone Matt doesn't like. The last post claims to be from "Chris" but is signed "frank" -- yeah, right. Last time Matt said raising cash would be hard. This time after cash is raised he is shown to be non-informed and a casual observer. Get a life Matt.

Come on guys take a break !!!
eBay is too expensive and CL buyer/seller experience is terrible with a lot of spam and porn.
I have had great success using LiveDeal and it is a great company founded by credible executives .. folks from ebay, forddirect.com and other leading companies...I am happy they are there as eBay and CL need competition otherwise there will be a monopoly and prices will only increase.
LiveDeal will give eBay and CL a run for their money...

Also I have followed all of LiveDeal's press releases and announcements and Steve Harmon seems to be in the middle of all their deals and success stories... Steve is a very brightand successful guy and you need to stop cribbing and give credit when it is due... Otherwise you only come across as jealous of others' successes...

It seems these investors haven't seen www.edirection.com till now. They could have saved more than half of their invested money since the overhead at edirection.com is much less than than at livedeal as per my audit 2 months back and it's a classy website .. just lacking funds & marketing!

I was a big fan of livedeal.com until I saw www.edirection.com. Their site is much better. They must have hooked up with a bigger VC. :)
