Time to Get Some Users

We're at a point where the site is secure enough that we feel comfortable accepting new users. We retain no significant purchaser or credit card information, so we're keeping the stakes reasonably low.

If you do try the site and yuo have problems, this blog will hopefully be a good place to register them with us until we have a better forum running.

A Place to Record the Process

As development of the site nears initial completion, I am starting this to document the ongoing plans and problems in the development of Flipsy.

This might be a good place to note what Flipsy is intended to be. The simplest description is that it is supposed to combine the features of a collection manager with a product marketplace for books, music, movies, and games. So you can add your collection and share it with your own subdomain, and you can easily sell your items to other anyone.

Why should Flipsy exist when there is a glut of collection managers, as well as Amazon and Half for buying and selling? A few reasons, but the major one is that you are paid immediately and there are no commissions whatsoever.

Anyway, use the site, and let me know what you like or dislike, and maybe this will turn into something useful.
