A very good point and yet, most people have said that the marketplace on DGCR doesn't see nearly as much activity now that people use Facebook instead. The market is fickle and people will go where the market takes them. If sellers can get more money by selling on facebook they're going to go...

Yes, but now you're talking about having to educate people on how to use a completely unrelated service (google search) to find auctions on Facebook. The easiest way to keep people from buying your product is to continue to put barriers in their way. If I go to your car dealership and you don't...

Wow! Some great feedback over the last day or so. I really appreciate it. You're all touching on some issues I've thought about, such as how to get users to "care" about a new site and I don't know that I've solved that and it really is key to this ever working. I'm familiar with Saucer...

Discouraging replies, but I appreciate them all the same! I definitely agree that sellers are going to flock where the buyers are and so you have a chicken and egg problems with a new site where seller won't come unless there are buyers and buyers won't come unless there are sellers. Will have...

I'm new to the forums here so if I am violating any guidelines I apologize. I am looking to gauge interest in a disc golf auction website. I know that DGCR has several marketplace forums for selling and auctioning discs and it seems fairly active. I also know that there are Facebook pages like...
