great story! Wish you all the best.
What does this mean exactly. Someone should look deeper. "Moving 6,000 to 8,000 pieces per week. eBay was pressured by other sellers to get rid of us,"
i've met this guy. tried to do a little bit of business with him, kinda some cross marketing, didn't work out.
BUT, he is a fantastic guy, nice, smart, hardworking.....i was very impressed with him. glad he's in buffalo.
My Plan to Revitalize Downtown Buffalo
The City has failed downtown. Developers and landlords have failed too. There will be no magic bullet that will save Main Street in Downtown Buffalo except this:
Commercial Squatting – You have a business idea? Take it down town, pick an empty store front and open up. F- City Hall, F- the Development Agencies, F-Licenses. Just do it. No rent, no fees, no sales tax, just do it!

I think this is amazing for Buffalo, having the exclusive rights to distribute this energy drink and doing it through a local company like Mighty Taco. I hope it really takes off, best of luck!
I used to work for this guy back in the day at Fortuna before they stopped business with eBay. He was right in the trenches with his employees and constantly trying to make things happen for his business and his employees. Probably one of the best bosses I've ever had. Extremely hard working and really dedicated to his staff. Success is well deserved for Moe. Really an awesome guy.
I'm just curious as to why the comments based on personal experience that are positive have been left, but any negative ones based on personal experience have been deleted because they are "unsubstantiated" claims. Shouldn't readers be able to comment on their own relevant personal experiences regardless of whether or not they agree with the message of the article? If comments based on personal experiences are not allowed then all of these glowing "he's a great guy" comments should be deleted as well, simply in the interest of fairness and non-bias.
No offense to the moderators, but I honestly think this is something the readers should be aware of and would be interested in. Justanotherguywithanopinion has a point--and both BuffaloBill and myself have had personal experience that shed some light on the nature of this ebay business and why it closed. Perhaps these links will help give our common negative experiences some credibility so they will no longer be "unsubstantiated" (which include responses from Fortuna, in some cases):

I'm all for celebrating the successes of Buffalo, but let's give credit where credit is due--and not turn a blind eye if something is rotten in the state of denmark!
