Why do Voices.com jobs appear on freelance site Donanza.com, which seems to be a VO auction platform?

Does anyone have first-hand experience with the site?
Any feedback to share?

Thanks!

My guess is that voice seekers often post jobs on a number of different sites to see what they get.  Voices.com has a minimum of $100 and some clients are trolling for people who will work for even less than that.  If a job that you've auditioned for on this site seems to stay in your "auditioned" file forever and never shows as "working" or "completed" there's a chance that the client found a talent on different site.  I've never used DoNanza, but the idea of bidding on a site that pushes that low isn't really appealing to me.

Many thx for response. I'm not likely to use DoNanza exactly for the reason you cite. Plus, lowball bidding is bad for all of us! I came across the site by accident, had never heard of them, and wondered. Thanks for shedding light with a very reasoned answer. Happy New Year and Happy Voicing!
