Ahwooga - The New Automotive Marketplace: February 2010

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.

Our first month is under our belt.

The good news is, we beat all of our projections in January. The bad news, well there is not any bad news. I can say we are getting excited for the site to really explode traffic wise. We have customers that are starting to link their listings to other sites that is helping.

We tested our bulk uploading tool and announced it is ready. Now it's a matter of someone sending us their lists and images for a real run. This will help the site grow in listings quickly. Another site we were watching closely had 10000 listings in 90 days, I think we can do better.
