We are currently launching a new website, and the name tells it all.
"Soldbyowners.com" [url]http://www.soldbyowners.com[/url]

Currently, in the testing phase it is easy to signup for an account and list real estate to begin with. When you signup for an account, i have to activate your account so you can ask for that assistant here (please note account here too).

This activation is because the website is free, and we build on trusted "Agency" accounts. So new unscurpulous agencies that would like to destroy the hardwork will not have a free run at it.

I would like comments.

Soldbyowners is directly owned by the same company as this website.

The concept is so, that the owner lists stuff in different classes (Real estate,boats,etc) without any interference of a third party that eats up the profit.

For return, i just ask advertisement of mouth (if it works) and some banners.

Thanks for reading.

Very good idea Jelle. Those sites normally become very large and after time have a very good rate of transforming into pay sites.

If that is what you are looking for.

I would suggest a bit of a format change. With the design that is. Not to knock your work or anything. I just happen to be a web developer so I instantly see design issues.

I offer my help to you if you would like it. My e-mail is on my profile if you would like it, or if you need it.

Well' its in test phase.

Jelle,
Looks like a good idea, but where do I go to read the 'fine print' of how the transactions would occur and so forth? Are they found in the sign-up script? Let us know what we need to do to take full advantage of this site.
Will

Dear Will,

The idea is that sellers talk directly to the customer that are contacting them for the products, we act like the local newspaper, so they don't have a contract either when you list your car.

The contract sits between you and the customer directly.

We take care that the agencies (owners) do not get complaints about for example that they don't unlist sold stuff. but don't sit in between to collect any commision. all yours
