I have been reading this, and responding to many PM's. Here are my thoughts.
1. I would like a stand alone site. Even though right now it may seem uneconomical, I want to get used to having one operative early rather than late.
2. I want good scans for my books. Using CCL with just a grade increases chances f returns, having scans on the other hand decreases this.
3. We are working towards an expansion. Ultimately we would like to hit a good amount of national conventions, which should allow us free advertising for our site.
4. We currently are sitting on a few thousand books, and probably 1,000 "nice" books that will fit well in peoples collections. These books are more likely to be purchased with other books, rather than individually.
5. Good search function. I personally will not frequent a site that does not have a good search function, this is key. Sites like WW Comics, Comic Link are more of the "style" I want. They do not need to be as ellaborate, but similar.
my 2 cents
