We have now launched SellMyRetro.com - the intention is to give an
alternative to ebay which is cheaper for selling retro electronic
items - but will also act as a place for traders, collectors and
buyers to come together.

We are currently working on a Wiki element for each category - the
text will be editable by store owners.
We also aim to have two types of webstore - a free one so that it can
be used to highlight the traders in each category even if they have
nothing to sell through the website, but if they do, they will pay
normal fees on everything, or a paid for webstore, which costs £5 per
month, but they get 50% off all fees.

Feedback is more than welcome - I am sure we will have missed some
important categories!

You must have been working on the site at 1:30 PM EST on Sunday in
Northeastern USA. Some of the other links did not work (Calculators and
Printers, 500 error) or took a very long time to deliver the page.

Looks like an interesting concept.

I was working in the middle of the night, I admit - the 500 error was
caused through trying out various optimisations to the PHP - now
resolved :-)

We have now migrated to a much faster server, so http://www.sellmyretro.com
now runs at a much higher speed.
We have also started listing quite a few items of our own - all we
need now are more people to list items.

Any fixed price buy it now items also get listed on Google Base, which
increases exposure for your items.

We are also looking for people to contribute more text for the on-site
wiki which is shown against each category - this can be edited by
webstore owners.

Plenty more features coming along.
