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.

We found some software we really liked

We interviewed a bunch of companies that wrote software and finally found one we liked. It was uploaded it to our brand new server bank and hidden behind a lock and key so no one could find it and start to "ahwoogasize" it. This has been the best part of our idea to date. On our company sites we have been able to plan and manage three levels, server, admin and front end. When selling on other marketplaces we only get to manage our listing appearance. On this project we get to design it all and have to add the forth level of designing what our customer will be able to show their end user.

This has added a degree of difficult that has been very exciting. As I'm writing this, we are 4 or 5 days away from bring it to the front of the domain and removing one of the locks.

Wish us luck.
