Hi, in case anyone was wondering what’s going on here.

The SOLD area looks like we sold out the store between Aug 28 and 31st, doesn’t it?

the truth is…. we just updated our systems here to automate a lot of our product listings online…. so we did a major cleanup of the website, a redesign of some pages, and added in a bunch of new feature
So NO, we didn’t sell everything this week, but a guy can wish, right?

The NEW features are:

1. login now with twitter, or google using the appropriate buttons here.
2. When logged in you will receive an automatic 10% discount, whether it’s logging in with Twitter, Google, or our own system here.
3. Facebook users are lucky, they only need to be logged into Facebook, and they’re automatically members here, and receive the discount. (sorry, just a matter of technical possibilities here.)
4. We redesigned our pages to be faster to browse, and more informative. You can now just hit th green buybutton to land straight on the purchase box, or straight to the “make an offer” area. We hope you like it.
5. We’ve cleaned up the look a bit. the sidebars how have a distinct colour from the central area, and tables and boxes are surrounded by white now.. a little easier on the eyes I would think.
6. We’ve revamped the SOLD items to now display more information for users who are logged into our system. A full member can see all prices of items SOLD in the past. Great for research.
7. We’e fine tuned the “ads free” now… so if you are logged in here, you will experience a faster less cluttered site. And privacy enhancements apply.
8. We’ve also fully integrated FAcebook into our website now, with neat meta tags, and the LIKE button is back! – goes hand in hand with the special offer to Facebook users mentioned above. – we finally figured out how to use FACEBOOK to benefit our business. Hope you like it.

There’s probably more… but hey, just bounce around here for a bit.. I’m sure you’ll discover our website is geared to do one thing especially: make it easy and fun to shop at Green Spot Antiques.

Because — at the end of the day who really cares about all the above… you just want neat STUFF for your collection or home, right?
cheers.
Vince.
