Totally Agree mate I believe it would make it easierIn that instance, it would still be a problem if they type the description themselves. If they didn't realise it was a glossy, they wouldn't have typed glossy in the description
At least with the drop downs me us it will indicate that there are different options.
The other benefit if if you are going to browse. If you look at COMC they always have the same description so you alway find tw cards in the right spot!
Sounds pretty good mateJust had another Idea. If we are able to gather all the prices of cards with are sold on our site (and possibly eBay), we could make our own price guide. I think collectors would appreciate something that reflects actual prices of cards much better than Beckett does! Of course this will be a spin-off of the business after it becomes successful
What do you guys reckon?
I think if we are going to go further than cards then we need to have a good marketing strategy to get traffic/buyers onto the site.
All for it mateThe trick to ANY new business is having 'A Point of Difference'!!!
This is why we should be doing the SWOT analysis first up. It allows you to make a COMPLETE list of all the things that we want to include in this site that is the downfall of other sites. For example... fees. This would become one of our targets - imagine emailing the whole list of eBay sellers that have/are selling cards and say "no sale, no fee" or "one fee covers unlimited sales for a month" or whatever deal we think of.
eBay is at the stage where it doesn't need to go looking for business, it just needs to sit and wait for traffic to come to them. Whereas we will actively seek out customers/sellers etc.
I haven't yet had a chance to read anything that was discussed this morning, but would love to see this SWOT done asap so we can change this 'ideas' session into actual planning!
No probs! I guess I just need to know a little bit more about how the site is going to work?? I mean, how exactly do we want it to differ from eBay?
Not sure if you guys covered this today?
Sounds good mateI mean, in order to do a SWOT, I need to know reasonably accurately what this site will be. By that, I just mean that it is impossibly to list the strengths and weaknesses of a product/service/venture without knowing what it will be.
How about, I don't DO the SWOT, but I coordinate it? We can do it as a group. Usually these are better to be done by a group anyway as different people think differently.
Not sure we should post details here, but maybe if anyone who think they can help posts their interest here, I can on and get the ball rolling.

Could be interested in becoming an "investor" when all the details are worked out.
