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.

I have to comment on the above paragraph:

Brickbay by itself is registered as a business and it provides a service to
either individuals or businesses to sell their Lego.  That is the whole idea
behind it.
How each shop (whether it is a business or an individual) responds to their
customers, packages their items, etc. is up to them.

I'd write more but this thread is getting into public soliciting.  If anyone
including you or Jon want to take this to e-mail then I'd be more then happy
to.

So if there are any technical features that would make someone more
comfortable using the site or start selling on the site, just let me know.

On a side note, is there anyone who would like to mass upload their wanted
list the way that the current mass upload of inventory works?
