QuikDrop.com parked page

I was curious how the eBay drop-off industry was doing and I have some stuff I’d like to sell on eBay, which added to my motivation to research this sector. The first mover and still one of the largest players by number of stores is Quikdrop International Inc. Unfortunately and incredibly their website QuikDrop.com is a parked page, which by design is effectively advertising several of their competitors.
Note that their company name and domain name use the typo Quik. Congrats to the owner of the correct spelling of this otherwise generic domain.
Perfect counter example for a course on online best practices. Could you get any worse than this?
You gotta love GoDaddy’s marketing, too. This parked page is a “courtesy” of GoDaddy.com - QuikDrop is not even making any money advertising competitors on their site.
Let’s see how long before they fix it. Good luck, QuikDrop.

Good Comments, I guess. I’m learning. But why didn’t you express them in a positive manner. This would make them more effective. Don’t you think? I’m looking for your other two articles.
