I haven't been logged into eBay in two weeks probably, but I still get email alerts to new listings. I haven't noticed any decrease in items listed in my emails. I am afraid that we (collectively) are a drop in the bucket.
My use of eBay has dropped off considerably over the past year - I downsized my alerts to 4 or 5 and only sell a few items here and there. The new changes do not appear to have a negative effect for the buyer, so I'll probably buy if a deal pops up.

I've heard that they where hit so hard by the "Strike" that they are now only charging a nickel insertion fee and .5% of auction for final value fee... with a cap at 2.00 max!!! . .. . . . . Oh wait a minute I must have fallen asleep and just dreamt that .. wow... seemed so real.... hmmm  |

Hey Joey,
The website looks good so far. Did you come up with the logo and design or are you working with somebody?
I know you are not done....
Are you going to be using it solely for selling? If not, you need to put in a statement about buying them also and make sure you use PLENTY of keywords.
I like the slideshow, but instead of a having a bunch of unrestored machines - why not show before and after type pics? I know you may not have all them right now, but it may be something to work towards. This would show people what their machine could look like.
Just my immediate thoughts.
Keep us updated!

Hey Joey,
The Site is coming along...
Did you purchase osCommerce for your cart...?
If so, you may have utilized Zen-Cart, a open-source version of osCommerce...
If you need any assistance, PM me.

Hey I see my Transitional 56 in one of those . Nice site Joey! I hope you have a lot of luck with it. When I had my site going I got a lot of interest. The best thing that you can do is have business cards made up and add your web address on it and pass it around to the antique malls in town. I know you have a bunch of them. I got a ton of calls that way. |

Thanks guys, I have a good friend helping me along the way, On the right hand side of the page will be fully restored machines. With Before and afters. Of course the parts section, also a wanted section and possibly a classified section to benefit all. Its a long ways before being done.
Joey
