I saw this on the canadians dragons den. Did your deal go through?

Awesome site, I've had this idea many times I hope it takes off.

Question: How general will catalogs be? I collect keychains, will something this general be supported?

I really like the site. What are some of your needs for progressing it other than getting curators and more development?

Thanks! Nearly anything can be catalogued, provided there's information available for it (E.g. manufacturer, release date, etc), and it's not something like the sweater that your grandmother knitted you.

More curators, collectors, and catalogs are the biggest goals right now. There's a critical mass of users that needs to be reached for the site to be useful for a majority of collectors.

Collectors for adding Haves and Wants, and for buying and selling. Curators (who are also collectors) for building catalogs that collectors are clamouring for.
