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 just went over 1000 listings on Ahwooga.com

We did unlock the site on Thursday to help with our final testing. It was kind of exciting knowing people might just pop in and either list an item or make a purchase. We have been working with some local Tucson companies and they have been loading items on the site. Today with 5 days to go before the actual launch date, we went over 1000 listings.  Everything is becoming very real now. The most interesting thing to me is, the closer we get to the launch date, the more relaxed I am getting.
