this is giving me a feeling, massive advertisement and investment does not assure the growth of a website. the same is gradually happening to TRADETABLE and one I PAID BRIDE website i used to see all over.

Who sent you the mail? Why not post the content of your email?

Am sure his right tried pinging from pc but no reply. Any chance they may be selling the domain name.

That has been predicted.

They are not actually closing down, they are MIGRATING! This is the mail from Dealfish Team.

Yours in buying and selling‚
The team

They've invested a lot in the Dealfish brand. Discarding it is a mistake. Change the team, keep the brand.

@Seun. Dealfish is owned by a multinational and it`s only a brand among many. Let`s say a $50,000 investment gone bad would`nt hurt their pocket that much.

They are moving to another domain.

Like seriously? After investing millions to register the dealfish brand in our minds.
is not a hot name

More reasons why most nigerian businesses dont last. We dont have regard for brand. Even our President changed UNILAG to MAU overnight.

Dealfish thought a business model that worked abroad will work in Nigeria.
I see iRocktv on the same path too.
There are many of such e-commerce sites that will go down real soon.

Nigerians won't just buy from the internet. Can you buy a shoe you have not even seen from a website for thrice the price?

Wow, olx is huge.
