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.

What are we going to name this idea?


Coming up with a great name for this site was difficult and several members of our team spent sleepless nights pacing back and forth. We won't list the names that were rejected as there are too many and they just didn't work.
On one of those restless evenings one of our owners was racking his brain searching for a site name. His four year old son stood by impatiently waiting to play "army men" with his pop. Our owner was focused on his name search struggle.

Finally having enough, his little boy walked up to him, reached out, squeezed his dad's nose and said...AH-WOOOOOOGA! Our owner stopped, dropped his pencil, picked up his son and they played "army men" for 3 hours that night.
