#2I find this quite brilliant. I'm a fan of simplicity and minimalism, and this is a good example of implementing the bare-minimum and getting something useful out of it. I'm actually a bit jealous I didn't think of it first. Good work, and good luck to you!

#3MVP for YC'12 application. We've been heads down on this for a month now so it seemed like the right time to gather some feedback!

This is the first time I've deployed on Heroku so any advice would be brilliant. If you get any errors, please email us on support@listofthingsforsale.com.

#6Wow! That is so simplistic and minimal; it just works like you would imagine! Great idea, great work and great result.
I'd see this text field becoming more and more intelligent over time with other functions!

#7Really nice interface. Kudos there.
Who are your target users, people using Etsy or eBay? Are you competing with other services like those on ease of use alone? For people looking to buy things, will you provide some search across all users or are you just giving your sellers a link they can promote?

#8What a fantastic idea. I would/will use this.

#9This is beautiful. I signed up for the purpose of receiving updates from you - I have many friends who will adore this and cannot build their own sites. Do you have plans to do more with this? How are you monetizing? Ok, I just went to publish and it tells me.

#10This is terrific.
Some small comments:
* When I click on "checkout", a few things are not clear: how much is shipping (seems to be free?), how long will shipping take, etc.
* I put something with an "&" in the title into my shopping cart. On the PayPal landing page, it turns into &. Also, the item description is "shopid: x, itemid: y", which is not very helpful, especially if it's two months from now and I'm trying to remember what I purchased.
* The list of item in the shopping cart should be links, not text.
* It's an MVP, so I'm sure this is on your "next steps" list, but it would be nice to delete specific items from the cart instead of having to clear the whole cart.
* There's a Login/Signup link at the top, but it's not clear what the benefits of Signup would be. Clicking on the link doesn't reveal the benefits either.
Again, this is awesome.
