Molotok

Hello!

It seems that the site was closed the 20th of august...
Definitely??
Has anybody an explanation?

Jacques.

Hi Jacques!

Molotok is owned by a South African holding company Naspers and is also a part of Allegro Group (Naspers holdings). The site has not been as profitable as owner had wanted it to be and basically profits were just enough to pay off the loans that Naspers had gotten to fund the project to start with. They've finally decided to close the shop. Naspers also owns Avito which is more profitable so they have moved their interest into that site since that site had increased revenue by 80% in 2014.

Cheers,
Vlad.

Thanks, Vlad.
Funny demonstration!
But it's only a question of $$, once more...

The copy of Molotok with the same items and the same sellers is already exists - newauction.ru

Ah, thanks, Dmitry.
Not that it is easy to buy on this site from France.
Just to see.

Jacques.

Wow, thank you for that link Dmitry, they completely copied it!

Cheers,
Vlad.

Thank you, Dmitry.
I hope that it will grow with time...
