Well done Mark it looks great and a good idea I will give it a go

 

[thurrock bees]

Thats the idea Hivemaker

It's open to non-members of the forum as well, so traffic should be good if I weave my magic on the search engines.

I was thinking what Items should we not allow?
I was thinking no compact disc's or written "How to keep bees" items for 99pence.

Also no Internet online beekeeping correspondence courses.

Does that sound reasonable to members?

there are loads on the well known auction site.

Nice one, this give a much broader scope to the group.

Any rating rules. ie too many complaints and you are slung in cyber-jail?

on a personal note, do not like bright orange, but that is only a cosmetic comment. Otherwise, very well done. Should see a lot of traffic.

Neither do I.
I had to add a little orange to get away from my favorite blue(like the forum).

You can tell I dont get to choose the wallpaper and paint when we decorate.

Shall we get rid of the orange for a little more blue?

I like the blue, but understand the reason.

You are in the same situation as me.

I agree, but I feel that this could end up in a huge debate. Laura Ashley vs Hulsta

The other bee auction site is very orange. Though I suspect they may be feeling a bit green around the gills at the moment.

[The Hyde Ranger]

Let me get this right ? a sort of B-BAY with no fees to sting us (pardon the puns) I think this is brilliant, well done Admin, I'm going to sign up right a way

 

[MJBee]

Thanks for your hard work - just signed up and awaiting your approval - grovel, grovel

 

[Onge]

Seems great.

Just one picky thing.

User name has to be 6 char or longer which is a shame as mine is only 4 char long, is there a reason it has to be 6 or more ?

Had to stick a couple of nines after it ! for no real reason.

Hope the site works out, I for one will use it.

Great work.

Thanks Admin

Admin - great - thanks for doing this I hope it is well used by all and sundry !

I wonderif you would consider a header link from the beekeeping forum to it (as you have one going the other way?!)

I will try and get my courses sorted and up and running on there when time allows.

During the meanwhile, I will browse our new beebay with interest

well done again !!!
