Frag Tracking System v2!!!

[Josh]

We just upgraded the site for our new version of the frag tracker.

You can see it in action at the bottom of the main home page or here:

http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/frags.php

Please post here if you have any comments or suggestions.

Thanks!

:snoop:

Can u explain how this works?

 

[Josh]

Sure.

This is a system for people to exchange/sell frags direct to one another without using the marketplace and normal threads.

You go to:

http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/frags.php

Here you will see a list of the frags currently available. You can reserve them by clicking the reserve option on the right. This will send a message to the owner asking them to approve the sale. Once approved you are to coordinate a time to meet and exchange the coral/money.

Not much to it really. Any ideas would be appreciated.

is it sort of like an auction?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

i wouldnt say auction because once you reserve it for the price that is listed you buy it. end of that transaction no 1 else will be reserving unless the seller has more then 1 of the same item. its more of a selling database then an auction.

Ok so here is one suggestion..what about sections like sps,lps and softie sections so we dont have to scroll all over looking for a specific coral

 

[Josh]

No auctions.

This system will only work if people actually use it.

I think that is a great idea however I'm reluctant to add too many fields because then people don't use it as much. The key here is to make it very easy to update your frag list.

I think that's an awesome idea. Once I get the frag tak up and running I will definitely use it.

Awsome this way u will avoid having to be bumping ur thread every day...

 

[rkaragozler]

How would I find that section if I do not have the link? I could not find it anywhere.

 

[duke62]

home page all the way to the bottom

Add the date when the coral was posted. Good thing is your locked in once you click reserve. Hopefully no one flakes out on something they want.

This is a great idea!

I would diffidently add a date posted column, then allow sorting by column. If people added a coral type (SPS, LPS, Softy) to the beginning of their descriptions then others could use the sorting feature for what their after.

Is there enough room in the description column to add pick up terms? location, willing to ship etc?

very nice, i see myself using this!

[pauliwalnuts]

Wow, this is really cool. Great idea guys :cheers:. Can't wait to try it out for myself.

so the frag trader is only for members not vendors correct?
