I want to make a site. Without going into to much detail it is a combination of swoopo and ebay. If you can code and would like to know more feel free to send me a PM. Eli passed I asked him on AIM :(. It is a good idea though.
 


i just had to pass cus its a nightmare development and promotion wise because there's a ton of competition due to a lot of packaged ebay clone scripts around. Plus i'm not really a coder for hire.
 
your idea is a bad idea.

i didn't realize that was you that contacted me on aim last night. if your handle was adexihibitjason on aim i never would have accepted the chat...

i went to bed in the middle of your explanation of your "idea" - the fact that you can't see the two major flaws in your thinking is a clear sign that you are too close to this idea. step back and realize that it's crap.

ideas are worthless w/out execution. are you looking to pay someone or are you trying to wing some kind of revshare? personally i don't care as i'm not interested, but this thread coming on the heels of your "who would you ban" attention whorefest just seems more of the same.

i never agreed to a non-disclosure or shit - you contacted me anonymously on aim and posted your idea. fuck you.

jasqui80 (3:04:08 AM): I want to make an auction site
jasqui80 (3:04:16 AM):
sounds like crap right?
jasqui80 (3:04:40 AM):
Well I want a site that is a combination of swoopo and ebay
jasqui80 (3:05:10 AM): swoopo sucks because they list the auctions and people feel like they are easily cheated
jasqui80 (3:05:18 AM):
ebay sucks well its ebay
jasqui80 (3:05:39 AM):
In order to make a site in between the two. You let people list items
jasqui80 (3:05:56 AM):
All the bidders to do that bid,
jasqui80 (3:06:24 AM):
You make money with the lister choosing a price they want to sell the item for
jasqui80 (3:06:40 AM):
then you charge the user x amount for each bid they place
jasqui80 (3:07:00 AM):
an auction would show how many more bids need to be placed for the auction to end
jasqui80 (3:07:35 AM):
winner is earlist and closet bidder to the actual cost the seller put
jasqui80 (3:07:44 AM):
what do you think?
jasqui80 (3:16:48 AM):
you still there?
jasqui80 (3:31:59 AM):
made a post about it, post your thoughts in there, and not the complete idea please


that's the complete idea?! lolwut?! i see two major flaws in there minimum... and that's not even talking about competition and promotion.

jasqui80 (3:02:51 AM): well how about if you think the idea is good you help me do it
jasqui80 (3:03:00 AM): and when it becomes huge
jasqui80 (3:03:04 AM): we share the monies

Guess you're looking for revshare. Good fucking luck...
 
I never said I wouldn't pay up front.

Thanks for outing my idea. Yeah you did never disclose that you wouldn't but that is just as bad as outing someones lander IMO. A hoe move.

As far as the other thread. Everyone on here talks shit and yaps all day. I make a fucking joke thread and everyone gets their g-string all wound up.

Here is how it goes,

Don't ever call someone out. Don't ever make a mistake. Don't ever try and be upset about something. Talk shit when it isn't even needed and you will be a shoe in with 75% of the fucking assholes here.

Fuck you and them. I care about the other 25%. The people who are actually here to help people and are willing to learn.
 
fuck you. you've annoyed the shit out of me for months. that's what you did. ha!

i've said that flat out in other threads - why the fuck do you think i would be interested in collaborating? seriously.

besides it was a shitty idea, consider that your input.

please explain how the fuck I annoy you. You know nothing about me and just make assumptions
 
before you go crap your pants and pull out the ALL CAPS... here's something constructive.

if you haven't figured out the major flaws of your idea above they are:

1) you need sellers willing to sell at ridiculously low prices (what's their incentive?) in order to entice bidders to pay for the privilege of bidding.

2) you need buyers willing to pay up to a set amount - there's no action here until the last few bids... that's when it all becomes chance (see thread post contests). how are you going to entice someone to place those first bids (and pay to do so) if there is no chance of them winning - there's no incentive.

supply and demand falls in here somewhere - you have no supply of dirt cheap items people are interested in and at the prices people would be willing to sell their stuff for you have no demand.

if you have solutions for these issues - then you didn't really share your full idea with me and i did you no harm sharing it above. If you don't have solutions for those issues, then your idea is shit and see my above post (read: the idea is shit).
 
WTF is this trainwreck?

i never agreed to a non-disclosure or shit - you contacted me anonymously on aim and posted your idea. fuck you.

.....

Non-disclosure or not, that is a pussy ass move. Regardless your feelings for AdEx or his site ideas your credibility just dropped like a rock.
