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.

Ahwooga.com is over 3000 listings and growing

So far the site is moving along much faster than projected. We even had our first sale completed through the site flawlessly. We Help Center should be completed this week and is looking good. We signed a sponsor ship with Hub Garage (A site we love). The staff is going back to Long Beach this weekend for the motorcycle swap meet to pass out more ahwooga shop towels.

Sleep is for the weak, or at least that what I keep telling myself.

This weekend we are going to a swap meet in Long Beach

Getting out there and shaking hands and introducing ourselves is one of the ways e want to promote the site. So Sunday there is a big swap meet in Long Beach California. Joe and I were wondering what would make a good give away we could  put our logo on. The decision was made that shop towels would be something everybody could use and they were inexpensive. So with the help of a nice gentleman here in town who has a screen printing shop, manually printed up 400 shop towels.

I will update you on how the show went.
