    This seems like an excellent idea, but a question if you do not mind.

    Would you be implimenting a On-Line Payment method, if so which one? I.E. PayPal, PPPay etc.

    Or since you would be limiting it to caithness Only would you not wish to use such a payment method?

    I wish you well with this and I do think it could work and I would sign up to buy as well as sell.

    Why not contact Bill to see if he could point you in the right direction for server costs or any grants that you may get.Seeing as it would be a local site that will benefit local charities then I am sure there is some kind of assistance that you could get to help finance the site.

    Cant wait till its up and running!!
    I think I will cotact him. Thanks for the advice hotrod.

    Yes there will be online payment methods of course. There will be at least paypal. Possibly others like googlecheckout and 2CheckOut.

    You are quite correct you can offer things for sale for free on the org.

    What is being offered is an auction facility that people can bit for an item this way the person who wants it most can win.

    It is also helping out local charities.

    It will also hopefully reach even those who havent found the org yet

    It is going ok. Main layout is done. Just having to go over everything and make sure find things that need to be changed.

    If anyone is interested in helping find bugs, typos and stuff like that please let me know and you can help out if you want.

    I emailed Bill Fernie this morning like somebody advised. So just waiting to hear back from him hopefully.

    This sounds like a great idea. Maybe Caithness.Org can provide you with space for a link under their "Business" page?

    Also I wouldn't worry about non-locals purchasing stuff. If it has to be shipped, the purchaser pays the shipping costs, so the seller won't be left out-of-pocket.

    Going very well indeed. Bug tracking is going well too. Just need to get a few minor bugs fixed and it should be ready.

    I also need to change to a better domain name. In fact, I am going to go with the domain name that you suggested.

    Estimated start date: June 2009
