Im about to launch my own auction site for knives and swords, I wanted some opinions on the new design i just had made, im not trying to spam you guys the site isn't technically live yet, i just wanted some feedback before i go live on Monday.

Also tell me what you think about the David Carradine commercial on the home page, if you dont see it you may have to refresh a few times as i have rotating ads.

When you land on the page you will see #'s rotatin 1-5 or 1-6 thos are just reserved spots for an ad type slideshow that i will eventually have images and links for.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty solid site. Sometimes simple designs are better than flashy ones. Take a look at ST and FSP, it doesn't try to flash you, but rather give you what you are really there for in the 1st place. I've always liked swords/machettes, try forwarding the link to Tim Duncan he is a sword/blade enthusiast and has a collection of samurai swords. :lol

Okay so im feeling nice today, im going to give at least one spurs fan who signs up on my site a free pocket knife. Just sign up, if i get a bunch of sign ups i will give more than one pocket knife. Just sign up with your spurstalk username as your username. It costs you nothing. Just sign up its that easy.

I will announce the inner this evening. 10 pm west coast time.

I really like it. Less is more.

Is there way to make the "FEATURED STORES" window longer without slowing the site down?

Thanks i agree about the less is more although i do have a few things planned to spice it up a tad but it will stil remain clean.

Surprised nobody wants a free knife though. Just sign up its that simple. Will post pics of the knife/knives im giving away its about a $15 or so knife. Not too shabby. Around 40 or so people have looked at this since i posted a free knife, surprisingly no sign ups.

:(

Picture to come.

It's one of those certificate issues.

It popped up with firefox for me.

It's just one of those annoying glitches to iron out.
