Ahwooga.com A New Automotive Market Place with Swap Meet Rules

[ahwooga]

We are  not trying to sound all spammy so I'll be brief. This site is going to go live Jan 1st.  http://www.ahwooga.com You can buy, sell, or offer services and products without final sales fees. It's like an online swap meet with very simple rules.

We know you are car people just like us, so we just wanted to share what was coming up. The first 5000 sellers get three months free membership. If you are interested in being one of the 5000, send an email to ahwooga@gmail.com .

That's the brief.  There will be more updates and stuff coming.

So it is similar to RacingJunk.com ?   

So no sales fees but a fee for membership ?   

Seems like a good idea - I'll be sure to stop by and see what its all about -

It's going to be a fun site.
Thanks

First, we would like to thank the people who have sent in there pre-registration e-mail.

Thank you for letting me keep you good folks updated.

We wanted to let everyone know that ahwooga.com is in it's final testing phase
and is now viewable at www.ahwooga.com
This has been well worth all of the hard work we have all put into it.
Currently the help center is not finished and we are only allowing local companies
to list their products on it. The grand opening is still scheduled for Jan 1st.

Here is a link to the membership page.

And a note to the member here Ahwooga.
Your post read like copy pasted mass posted message board spam.
If you want to personalis your posts more, they wouldnt seem so generic and would probably pull more attention.

Sheesh, sounds like im in the pissy mood today ??

[ahwooga]

You are not the only one, it's been very hectic here today also.
Good point.
Thanks

[ahwooga]

A quick follow up on how www.ahwooga.com is doing.
The site just went over 3000 automotive item listings by some very good vendors.
Growth on the ahwooga site has exceeded our early projections
Site speed is also improving nicely to make it easier to browse around.
Of course we are continuing to recruit new sellers to the site.
If you are interested please see the "sellers info" page on the site

I would like to thank the members of this board for visiting the site
To show our appreciation, we have placed a banner ad with a link back to this board with in the ahwooga forums.

Thanks

What a January that was for www.ahwooga.com.
Here is what the first 30 days produced
Net -4003 listings
105 sales through the site.
Google is downloading on average 4500 pages per day.
1000 shop towels and 700 key chains handed out at swap meets.

And the coolest thing is the hundreds of sellers we spoke to that have or are going to add www.Ahwooga.com to there media mix. I'm sure the next 30 days are going to be just as exciting and twice as busy.

Again, thank you to every one we spoke with and e-mailed us with some of the best compliments.

You don't have enough advertising. I never heard of you before today, and I'm always thinking how nice it would be to have more alternatives to eBag.

I use gmail, and the little changing ad lines at the top always catch my eye without being annoying.
TV is expensive, but maybe you could hit some local cable markets in high income areas, like SoCal/SoFla.
Give T-shirts to car clubs to give away at shows for door prizes.
Make PayPal available.
I've always thought a 'wanted' section would be good, if it could be made convenient to search. I know eBag tried it and failed, it would have to be free for both parties until a deal was struck.

[ahwooga]

Thanks for the input.
We have been going to the cars shows and chatting with folks.
Here are a couple video's we did at the two Long Beach swap meets

We are trying out a wanted section and a "what the hell is this section" of the site.
So far everything is running smoothly and once we are 100% positive of it
Then it will be time to ramp it up.
Thanks again
Don
