When I started with BPM I was told that it will never work ... that there are already enough markets for breedables. A lot of ppl thought that I just was not the right person to run a market ... they never really told me why they did think it just that it will not work and that I will loose too much money and will have to give up in the end.
I started with half a sim and a lot of enthusiasm. Also with two ppl "in the background" I thought I can count on ... well ... I was wrong. But I now do not want to think about that ... but want to think and speak about NOW, today, two years after ....
Two years after the start BPM now is a full sim and some false friends now belong to the past. What did not pass is my enthusiasm. I have it still and it even grows stronger every day.
I got rid of false friends - it was a long way but I am glad I took that way. Other ppl came and stayed. And became not only real friends but also loyal partners. Again other ppl came, stayed for a time and really did help - and then they were gone again.
This is just the way it goes - and I never did expect anything else. This may be one reason why I never really got dissapointed. Why I never lost faith and why I could go on - and will go on in the future too ;=)
Specially one person was and still is a very important part of BPM:
Over one year ago Zermit came to the market - and she is still here. First she came to the auctions, then rented a spot. We always did talk a lot, specially about breedables and she did become a friend. Now, more than one year later, she still is here an she is not only a loyal soul but also a very, very improtant part of BPM. In fact BPM would not be the same without her.
She is not only CSR and auction caller. She also is a treasure chest full of informations about almost all the breedables in SL. She always shares her knowledge and tries to help where she can. I really would be lost without her a lot of times. So all I can say is - THANK YOU A LOT ZERMIT FOR JUST BEING YOU AND DOING LIKE YOU DO. PLEASE STAY THAT WAY!
In these two years BPM did change a lot. Now it is a mixed market with a lot of different kind of breedables and it is just a pleasure for me to have a walk over the sim and see all the nice spots offering so many great breedables offers.
A really big part of BPM are the auctions. When I started with my first KittyCatS auction back two years ago I was not sure if that will work and if I really will be able to do it.
Now I just LOVE to do auctions and so many ppl tell me that they love my auctions too cause they are different and funny. It is so good when I do an auction, when I laugh with my guests, when I fidget on my chair and bang my desk and when afterwards a guest is standing up and telling me in voice "Lady, that was SO much fun - thanks a lot you are a fantastic auctioneer and you just rock". You can not imagine how proud that makes me and I hope it will be that way for a long long time :=))
Yes I am really proud about BPM - about the market and the auctionhouse - and about to be different. BPM is not about making money (hehe quite the contrary it does cost me money to run the market) - BPM is about to be a place for all the ppl in SL who are as breedable addicted as we are. A place to sell breedables in the spots and at the auctions, of course. But also a place to meet, share experiences and just have a lot of fun.
As one of my tenants did say not long ago ... "You know we are a kind of "BPM family" here and I just love the crazy, funny and breedable addicted members of this family" ...
So after two years we a market and auctionhouse that is know in SL ... we are the BPM FAMILY and I am really really proud of what BPM is. And I know - we will have some more crazy, funny and breedable addicted times here at BPM ... so ... BPM ROCKS THE BREEDABLES ;=)))
