Last week was great, but this week is catastrophic to me so far..

sharply_done · « **Reply #1 on:** April 08, 2009, 14:10 »

Things are down for me, too - a little too much for to call it normal ebb and surge.
USA spring break, perhaps?

Me too!

The Easter bunny did it!

down here too

It´s been cathastrophical... But I had a bump yesterday and this morning, so there´s still some hope for me.

cannot be worse...

I agree with Larry. It's the easter bunny's fault. In scandinavian countries everything shuts down between 3. April - 14. April because we have to go skiing. It's mandatory. You get exiled if you don't go cross country skiing and live in cabins in the mountains without water and electricity for a week and a half every year.

So gaja are you exiled

Yes the week is pretty slow. Here in Germany most students have easter break, so I guess many people take off from work.

Pretty normal for me. Nothing crazy, nothing too extreme

lisafx · « **Reply #9 on:** April 08, 2009, 15:17 »

Glad I read this thread. I had forgotten about the Easter/Spring Break sales dip. Sales are a bit soft for me too. Not terrible, but not booming by any means.

Stu99 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 08, 2009, 15:25 »

Would have been a normal week, but thanks to Alamy, it will be quite a good one :-)

Graffoto · « **Reply #11 on:** April 08, 2009, 16:18 »

Today was a BDE for me because of three xlarge sales...
But overall, yeah it is slow.
On top of it being spring break, the Jewish Passover holiday also begins tonight.
Lots of Israelis on vacation too.

Perry · « **Reply #12 on:** April 09, 2009, 02:38 »

Really, really bad week... At this point I'm down 50% from last months BME

Milinz · « **Reply #13 on:** April 09, 2009, 04:10 »

Whining? Why? Because it is time to whine!
For me April started similar to all 50% drop in sales almost everywhere.

Smithore · « **Reply #14 on:** April 09, 2009, 04:15 »

Almost 20% down for me.

lagereek · « **Reply #15 on:** April 09, 2009, 05:50 »

gaja, is right, in Sweden, you get executed if you dont go skiing or blabbing with the witches at Blåkulla mountain. Everyone is taking this as an excuse for NOT beeing in the office.

Still, cant complain, my week has been pretty good.

Magnum · « **Reply #16 on:** April 09, 2009, 06:08 »

Is this all about Sweden now. Ok, I´ll continue.

In Sweden all we wanna do is to earn more and work less. Many work only half the day before a "red day". And we have 4 weeks paid vacation. Did I mention a lot of Swedes are getting "burned out" because of heavy workload. LOL

Swedes are like microstockers. Lots of whining, and wants more and more

anton9 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 09, 2009, 06:18 »

It is the easter holidays in parts of the world so you cant be suprised

very bad week. slow sales everywhere

loop · « **Reply #21 on:** April 09, 2009, 09:30 »

No variations here. Maybe from Friday to Sunday will be slower.

gbcimages · « **Reply #22 on:** April 09, 2009, 10:20 »

not good here!

Colette · « **Reply #23 on:** April 09, 2009, 10:44 »

I was asking myself what was going on with all the stocks, but now I know: the easter-bunny!

To Gaja: I suggest to do your duty to your people and country and went to a cabin etc.... To be send in exile won't guarantee you water and electricity either...

gaja · « **Reply #24 on:** April 09, 2009, 11:24 »

My family are part of a small, but growing resistance movement. My husband goes to black metal conserts all easter, while I make sure the kids have some kind of infectious desease. This year I was hoping for chicken pox, but I think we only managed to get a simple cold with fever.

The exile countries are traditionally islands in the Atlantic (Shetland, Faroes, Iceland, Greenland), Normandy in France, or Russia. The later years we have also built colonies in Spain. So they should at least provide some good photo opportunities if it gets that far.

Well, happy easter to you all! Hopefully the buyers will have a big backlog and purchase like crazy next week.
