I did ask some questions:

Some Squeeze Theme customers have been dissatisfied with the theme and service, especially in the support forum…

…have these issues been resolved? Is it safe to assume there are a number of affiliates that are no longer promoting the theme but still remain on the books?

What technical (coding) knowledge does the buyer of squeeze theme need to address any issues in the forum. Based on nearly every WordPress theme forum out there, there appears to be an ongoing need to upgrade the theme when WordPress is upgraded and as a result of finding bugs and needing to apply patches.

And also…

Do your stats for 120,000+ visitors to your site include the traffic from theme users going to the forum for support and affiliates going to their stats panel to check their earnings? Most users would ping a forum and/or affiliate panel at least daily, especially when setting up the theme and during intial promotional efforts.

My thoughts…

I get the impression the people hungry to buy the site are after the “Email list of over 800 members” and the PR5.

I’m hoping the new owner understands the amount of unhappy people there are (or at least used to be) and maintains some level of technical support. There is only a 1 month techical theme support package with the sale. I wouldn’t be holding my breath for the squeeze theme to be upgraded all of the time like Thesis Theme is.

Apparently if the new owner can’t manage the comments in the forum they can pay someone around $1,000 a month to do it for them. Bargain!

Philip Hello fans of Squeeze Theme,

I recently paid $147 for Squeeze Theme and have yet
to receive it…all I got was a PayPal confirmation/receipt #.

I called a Seattle phone number but all I get is
an answering machine…that promises
a call back..that never comes

I wish they would send me the Squeeze Theme
that I paid for so that I can be disappointed
like the rest of you..
but I can’t even get that far.

Philip

I was not expecting such a "real" and "honest" review of a product. I mean I have also used these theme and I did not encounter any problems at all. Although I already changed it again. I was not satisfied of squeeze theme. Well, I guess you're just being honest and you deserved a refund. Thanks. ;-) Interesting! I was not expecting such a “real” and “honest” review of a product.
