LSL to charge for the App

This country is expensive for almost everything and now you agree we should pay another direct debit. The on line thing has been the biggest game changer in the marts since the auction system was introduced in the 50s. I am a shareholder in a co op mart and I have not got a single cent in dividends let them suck it up. Did you see the wages on those annual accounts it's a cosy cartel for the few.

It's a constant reverse from LSL it wasn't what they were proposing when they announced the charge imo. They got stranded on an island when the others didn't follow.

I heard 1 of the bigger marts went to them on Monday and told them to pull the idea of charging bidders or they were moving this weekend. So this latest proposal is a panic option. Can't see how it's going to work either..

It is probably the better of the 3 apps and could have set itself up to take over from the two others but can't see that happening now.

They are the only ones that don't display the €/kg price.

I'd say they all will go down the road of ads before u view

At least one mart has had enough of LSL, I guess MartEye are only too willing to take advantage, I wonder will there be more.

Looks to me like you have to have bought or sold animals at a mart to be able to watch that mart for free, being registered to bid isn’t enough.

Once the ship is started to turn it will move quick. I can see more moving

Is there no competition to the all platform that marts and others could move to

I suppose if Marts and customers dont pay it and go back to how it use to be then they think twice about it

I suppose most marts dont want to change once system up and running but the unreliability of it online did put me off and I was paying nothing. I know few marts complaining that's its shite and if there was a good cheaper alternative they'd go for it

There probably tech guys on here that do a better job for less and we would support them

Have spoken to a couple of managers that haven't moved yet, don't want to move this near the busy season. Next summer may tell the true story.

I'm told there's pressure on the system with the amount of non active farmers viewing, with retired lads using it for social reasons.

Martsbids

Thats a big one to move.

Has anyone a breakdown of the rough %ol of marts with each platform

greed is bad for you how many old fellas watch it if only 100 people per county paid x €50 is €130k lsl fucked up big time got too big for there boots

Ole coggers. Lovely post. Great respect for people that probably worked their ass off to rear people like you.
