  A: Panos, absolutely. Happy to chat about plans. Mind sending me a note to nick[at]thegoneapp.com so we can discuss? Thanks,

  A: David, I'll reach out to the WeFunder team and let you know. Mind sending me an email so I can follow up? nick[at]thegoneapp.com. Thanks in advance,
- Q: Who are your competitors and how are you different from them? What do you know that they don't?

Absolutely no intervention from the platform. We call this end...
- Q: How does your service differ from eBay Valet? Are they in the same space and do they offer the full range of services?
  A: James, They are definitely in the same space - even though their demographics may be different. Main differences, as we see it: a) We're providing an outstanding service, particularly on the consumer side. b) We aim to provide, also, the best selling performance and price on the consumer (Selling) side. From a consumer standpoint: It's not our goal to attract the cheapest listings to our marketplace, but rather to provide the easiest way to sell something for consumers.
- Q: Hi, Please consider giving monthly or quarterly updates to your current investors regarding how your business is progressing. Thanks, Larklo
  A: Absolutely! I assume you haven't been getting our updates. Mind shooting me an email so I can forward you the latest one and add you to the list? nick () the gone app -- com. We've just re-enabled the raise, so sorry for the delay.
