In response to your question about what it would take to get other business to
move to BrickBay, I don't really think that will happen. Before I explain, let
me point out that the concept of BrickBay is wonderful. In fact,
Bricksonthebrain.com's beta site has a version I had gotten about 15% complete
on before BrickBay launched and I stopped work, so the concept is certainly
sound.
The idea of BrickBay however is for a large amount of *individuals* to come
together under one area to *act* as a single business. However, as a single
business, my distinction is that I *am* a single business. This means that
customers can rely on a certain quality of customer service, parts, honest
sales pitches, proper packaging, professional invoicing, etc. This can never
be guaranteed when dealing with individuals.
