In a recent SitePoint newsletter, it was announced that the Marketplace has been going through some changes. This is what was said in the announcement:
The new system functions more like a traditional online auction. It replaces the often messy and confusing forum thread-based auctions with a slick, automated, standardized system. Sellers now have much more control over their listings, including the ability to set a starting bid price, BIN (buy it now) price, and hidden reserve. They’re also able to control the length of the auction, and have the ability to moderate comments in their auctions. Additionally, the Trade Your Services and Want To Buy forums have been upgraded with the same template system that the new auction system uses.
If you’re not familiar with SitePoint Marketplace, it is actually a place where you can sell established websites/weblogs, sell turnkey sites, sell domain names, and/or sell templates. There are also forums where people can post job openings, advertise one’s services, and/or offer web hosting deals.
