Hey there,
This is Troy, founder of AuctionWars and I would like to invite everyone to check out my auction website and give me feedback. After all, without knowing what people think, how can we fix it?
Thank you
Troy

| To be honest, the site has the same generic look as the other sites which use this software, and "Auction Wars" sounds a little unprofessional to me. |

| Sure thing. Give it an original look and a bit more of an appealing name for a start. You'll need quite a budget to get it off the ground and get traffic from buyers and sellers. |

Hi AuctionWars,
You need to customise your site. Too much like Abidders at the moment, even the same idea of a bonus for referrals. Not meaning to hurt your feelings but why should I leave Abidders for your site, or alternatively, why should I go on your site as well as Abidders?
Good Luck,
Susie at PVH |

Registration not secure.
Whether you ask for financials or not, internet savvy consumers and sellers will blow by your site and fuggedabou'it. |

| I've grown rather tired of wasting time on new startup auction sites. I'm not going to sign up for anymore until there is one that has proven its self. |

LurkeyLou,
No, it is not secure. Sorry.
An SSL certificate runs around $350 per year. I am not ready to spend that much cash at the moment. Once there is a residual income, I would gladly at it to my list.. :D |

Thank you for pointing that out.

Ok, you have me thinking now.
If anyone knows of or thinks of a good name, throw it my way, would love to consider it.. :)

No. An SSL is not $350.00 a year.
I'm building my own stores.
I have SSL. It's $30.00 a year - $60.00 (you have to buy 2 yrs) - for 128-bit SSL. That's $2.50 a month.
256-bit is $150.00 for 2 years, that runs $6.25 a month.
A 2 year wild card certificate runs $40.00 more than your quote.
My time and effort is worth the $2.50 a month investment. If I don't offer security, some people will find items at site that do and I will loose the sales...and waste marketing time & $$.
Good luck with your site. |

Update: We added an SSL Certificate to AuctionWars.com so everyone can feel safer registering with the site.
