Hi,
I'm Looking for feedback on what features are important for a seed or
plant trading website.

I'd like to know if there are any good web sites that people have tried
and have had good experience with? Or are there newsgroups that
specialize in trading? Perhaps there are some Books or FAQs that help
the uninitiated like myself. I did get some good advise on some
excellent australian sites, I'm particularly interested in websites for
the US, Canada and UK markets as these all have zips which allow you to
look up fellow garden sellers in your area.

The reason for all this research is my wife set up a site two weeks ago,
mostly as chance to play around with some open source software
technologies. But we'd really like to set something that would be
useful (and free) to the casual seed trader.

Your candid feedback would be very much appreciated

Thanks!

Conor,

Seeds from OSP are almost free at their low prices. If you got started
today it would be hard to beat Aaron Hicks even in 10 years.

PS, here's another tip... never sneeze when around orchid seed.

Thanks
Nice little site. I had fun checking it out. It seemed like a very cost
effective way to begin the art of orchid growing. I really liked the
concept of the website "donate and you shall receive". It would be
really nice to see similar sites which allow a cheap or almost free way
of sharing other varieties of seeds and plants.

Thanks Again!
