I want to get all your reactions to a possible auction site that we are setting up and would be linked to Nags Roost, for all its members to use.
I am writing this with full permission from Admin and have already sounded them out.
I expect a lot of you use ebay and we all love it don't we , but, I have found the fees to now be extortionate, and there are so many businesses on there it does not give us little people, who lets face it are not earning a living from it, just trying to flog some of our unwanted horsey gear and make a few pennies.
Our idea is that we will run a FREE auction site, it will be free to list, all you will pay for is obviously the goods you buy, and Paypal fees if you wish to use Paypal, otherwise it can be cash, cheques etc, exactly like ebay.
It will be heavily orientated towards horse things, but , also you will be able to sell any thing else on it, i.e c d's, baby clothes, etc etc.
This will all be free listing, but later if it goes well, non horsey items will have a charge of roughly 20p, but not for horse stuff.
I am asking for your feed back and also if you are interested, because if not, well it is just not worth doing, as we have to actually buy hosting and domain name to run it on, we already own an auction site.
I think with all your support and interest we could make this good, but it does depend on your support.
If everyone could register and list 1 item we will see how it goes and remember it will be free!!
Hope fully if everything goes well we will launch it at the end of the month.
Please can I have your thoughts and input as this is for you the members.
