The rules on Ahwooga.com will mirror those of a simpler time.

Ahwooga members will have the freedom to promote their items and share with potential buyers their terms, including payment methods they will accept. We also want to promote buyer and seller communication; sometimes a purchase needs more than a couple of e-mails. There is a point where a phone call can really help out both the buyer and seller. We still can't believe sites that allow major purchases to happen without communication. This would prevent scammers from hiding behind their computers. We also believe larger ticket item would be purchased with more confidence due to this open communication.

Figuring out what we should do to create Ahwooga.com

So the idea of starting a new Automotive only site was out and everyones brains were doing kart wheels.
We decided to have a brain storming meeting of what could be a fun and effective venue for selling and buying automotive related items.

We grabbed a couple markers and wiped down the large white board and started throwing out idea's.
Then we starting pointing out the pros and cons of the sites we were currently selling on.

This process was a lot of fun and the white board didn't have much white left on it.

The main points that came out of the meeting were.
No Final Sales Fees
Sellers Make Their Rules
The Idea Of "Swap Meet Rules"
Free Re-Listing of Unsold Items
Communication Between Buyer & Sellers
Memberships Levels
Prevent Category Killers
Provide Great Support
Teach Visitors How To Use The Site.

At this point, the idea did not have a name.
