OK, good. Actually, I thought it might be possible that due to the way you're
setting things up, we would (for whatever reason) hvae to run different stores
for each of the catgories - like maybe it would speed up DB access or
something. But I'm glad that's not the case.

That's probably best.

Maybe. If I were selling pollybags, that might be the case.

Cool. I'll look forward to seeing more in the future (days, weeks,
months...what's your estimated timeframe?).

The site is almost completed except for a seller registration section and
contains 40 pages but so far, you can only sell parts there (it was originally
designed for parts only). It should be up and running with an internal set
reference guide and a partsref with the ability to sell anything Lego-related:
parts, sets, boxes, instructions, t-shirts, masks, posters, software, etc. in
about 3 weeks. There is so much more stuff to add though like selecting from
multiple layouts that you want your store to look like (rebadging), the
ability to punch in a set number and getting a result of all the parts in it,
color and quantity and let you select only the parts and quantity you want
from it. That is not hard to do but will not be included in version 1.0.
Before the system goes live:
I'll need testers: about 10 people who would go in and start banging against
the database all at the same time by building up their inventorys, adjust
prices/quantities, buy items, and basically try to destroy the system to see
if it can handle the traffic. I can test most functions of the system myself
but can't test when more than one person is using it at the same time since I
got only 1 computer. Also, it would be cool if someone tried to break into
the members section (without having the proper priviledges) by whichever means
necessary to test the security setup. Would anyone be up fot this?

Great. Maybe I'll be done with this round of auction by then and will be ready
to start a small shop on your site.

Are you just letting us design whatever - with plugins to the DB, or are you
writing a shop design wizard or somesuch?

This feature all by itself will have lots of little features to attend to. It
is important that there be some kind of independent and multiple user
verification and that when I punch in a set number, it tells me how many people
have confirmed the counts.

Well, if you need us to literally bang on it at the same time, scheduling might
be a problem. Also, since your going to be conducting this as a pay service,
you might consider offering something (like three months free service, or
whatever) to reward the time spent for the folks that help test to certain
criteria. I'll gladly help if I'm available when you need the help.

More like a selection of layouts you can pick from.

Yes I guess I could offer some kind of reward: free parts. I think I also
have 700 light grey slopes left over from an ebay auction which didn't meet
the reserve price. And let's make it fun.
For every bug you find I'll give you a buck worth of free parts.
Whoever can _first_ break into the members section and accomplish some task
example: listing all my orders received and order details and putting all
members in "suspended mode" will get $20 worth of free parts. Of course then
you'll have to tell me how you did it so I can fix it.
To make sure that more than 1 person doesn't report the same bug, I'm going to
have to design a bug-reporting section which will list the name, page URL and
bug description sorted by date entered. Whoever enteres the bug first will
get the reward.
This means that people could also report any bugs that occur ON the bug
reporting page :-)
Of course this means that I could be focusing more on other more useful
features instead of stupidity but if we're going to go this route then let it
be interesting.

I'd be interested in testing.
Thanks,

I'll happily test the system when the time comes. I figure my "reward" will
be the added ease and convenience of having a custom system handle my parts
sales and accounting/shipping. If a little of my time helps bring that about,
well, bring it on.
