Hi All,

Just a quick post to say I have decided to close down the site.

I know it hasnt been active lately as I was working on the backend scripts etc but I thought I would let those interested know about the closure.

I did try and work something out with a friend to run it for me but we decided neither of us could commit enough time to it to do it justice so it had to go.

The last thing I wanted to do was open it up and have delays with orders etc so I hope people understand my reasons.

Thanks to everyone who supported the site in the past and I hope one day I can maybe get some time to pass it over to someone or restart it myself, but for now...its gone.

Regards

Dave

So is this an end to just your site, or your trading activities in general?

It's an end to my site only (for now).

Surprisingly I have had some interest in the site already but my aim is to hopefully get it up and running at a later date. The idea of group buying is popular and I know it is profitable long term because of all the feedback and support I have had from previous buyers.

I tried to get a close friend to run the site for me but he backed out due to other commitments he had.

It is a big shame really because it was a very popular idea when we launched it.

I have done a lot of work on the databases etc and written scripts to handle the group buys, product info, payment pages and more so I wont be totally washing my hands of it.

I am considering a few options/offers at the moment, but like I said, I hope to re-open it myself in the future...but who knows, someone might persuade me to open it sooner if they convince me they can do a good job as I dont want to let ANYONE down.

It is indeed a shame to see this, hopefully will see you up and running in the not so distant future.
