What do you think of this concept?

Ok what do you think about this concept for WarBond.com?

Spark any interest?

 

[lol]

I like the idea and the name (more than the idea), KingDon. If I were you, I'd visit various Civil War sites, WWI & II sites, etc. to promote this forum. There's plenty of chat rooms pertaining to militaria to choose from and you should have no problem building your community.

Should I set up an auction site, or should I do a forum like here to share ideas?

both..

Are there enough war bond collectors out there to support a community forum?

Keep the forum, but I suggest building some actual content for the main site. Perhaps show scans of war bonds, give collectors a place to showcase their war bond treasures, have info about war bonds. I did a quick Google search and couldn't find anything like this. The forum could be secondary.

Good luck Don, I'm sure you'll do well with it!

Is this worth developing, or should I unload it to this guy who wants it for a hobby? I'm tired, catch you guys tomorrow.

Seems like it would have a definite niche ... "collecting and trading war bond memorabilia, and other military antiquities". You could sell it to this person for a mutually agreeable price, and also possibly advertise it "for sale", as well, thinking there might be niche publications or antiques magaines/journals in this realm.

Here's a link that I came across, as well:

Good Luck, KingDon.

OH I'm laughing so hard, someone went on warbond.com and posted that the forum sucks. Is this funny or what, who knows, this site gets about 60-100 uniques a month. I guess once I have it set up, members will build themselves by word of mouth, if they post 1000 points I'll let their name glow (HMMMMMMM).

My forum sucks, this is just toooo funny!
