Quote:I have decided that we should spend the rest of the year fixing and doing small enhancements to the current site features so that as we begin 2006 we have a solid framework from which to grow. This "screwing in the lightbulbs," as I call it, includes a lot of functionality for marketing and fixing some user-facing things as well. New functionality still slated for this year will include bid cancelation and retraction and a new much-improved version of O-lister.
As for next year, there are several big projects on the horizon. When I say we are "considering a store-type format," all are correct: that just means we are considering it. Nothing is written in stone. What we are thinking about does not change the listings. (We have no plans to create fixed price items on the site.) I expect it will be more geared toward allowing sellers to customize their part of the site.
