The Savage///Circuits "virtual yard sale" is coming along nicely. I just need more photos. In the mean time, here's a preview of the "shop" page, which explains why it's not a "store."

What did you think of me calling it, "MeBay"?

Hopefully I don't get any legal threats from eBay.

Also good. Something to consider if I get that legal letter... ;)

Ok. Lol I was thinking on the avoiding that period. Lol

Well, I don't know if it's ready. I don't have much up, and what I do have up is missing some photos and other info. But until I can test things in practice, I won't be able to adjust things if needed. So, I'm going to go ahead and up MeBay up for access to the public. I'll add more as days go by. These are the things that are currently sorted out and ready to ship.

Remember, these things are being sold with funds being used to pay for this site. Most items are one-off. When they're gone, they're gone. And now for the most important part...

ALL PURCHASES REQUIRE REQUESTING A SHIPPING QUOTE. I'm not set up for automatic shipping charges. I'm honestly not even sure how to do that. So when you add stuff to your cart, you must then request a quote before you can fully check out. This also requires your address so I can get an accurate quote. I need to update the shop page to reflect that, as I'm sure some people will be confused.

Could I purchase a mug, and pick it up at the Meetup, next month?

Yes, but the way things are set up, you still have to request a shipping quote, just fill out the special delivery instructions with pickup at the meetup and I will set the shipping to $0.00

You should be able to go back now and complete the transaction. Please let me know if it works. I don't really like the way this system works these days.

I went back to the page (I had left it open) and there was nothing to say continue. Next, I refreshed the page, and the only thing that it did was to throw away my phone number, and to check the box that says "Ship to a different address?" Still nothing to let me continue to complete the purchase.
