    Dear all,

    Today, I would like to present you a new concept that I and some friends developed exclusively for collectors: swapey! (administrator: please don't delete this thread. swapey is completely free of charge and this is no commercial. It is a free tool for collectors).

    www.swapey.com/Comics

    swapey is a free portal that enables its members to exhibit their own collections in their own virtual museum, and thus present them to a global audience. Members get the opportunity to access a worldwide network of likeminded collectors. Discover new treasures every day, expand your global collector network and discuss interesting topics with other swapey members.

    MUSEUM
    You can show your collection in 4 different museum halls:

    (1) Exhibition-Hall: for items you only want to show to other collectors, but not trade or sell
    (2) Swap-Market-Hall: for items you would like to trade against other interesting items. Members can contact you and offer you their items for trade.
    (3) Research-Hall: for items you would like to learn more about from other collectors
    (4) Private-Hall: for items you only want to show your friends but nobody else

    FORUM
    Every item has its own mini discussion forum attached to it. At the moment the forum allows only text, but in the upcoming release it will also be possible to add photos and other files.

    RATING
    You can rate items with 1-5 stars. The purpose of this feature is to separate very rare and interesting items from more common items (which are of course also wellcome on swapey). Members can then search for items with the highest number of stars.

    DEMO
    A short demo explains the concept to you (you need flash-player for it):
    DEMO


    COMMUNITY
    Also, since we go online only today, there are just a few dozen items in the swapey museum yet. In order that swapey becomes a success for all collectors we depend on you. With every item you upload you make swapey more interesting for other members and vice versa. Please share your collection and passion!

    The success of swapey is based on the size of the community that actively uses swapey. For this reason you, as a member, will also benefit from every new member. You can help by recommending swapey to your friends.

    CATEGORIES
    There will be other collectibles categories on swapey in the future. In order that you only see Comics you can access swapey via http://www.swapey.com/Comics. But of course you can also see all categories if you enter http://www.swapey.com

    QUESTIONS
    If you have any questions, remarks or suggestions please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@swapey.com

    FEEDBACK
    We need your feedback in order to improve the concept. Do you like this idea? What would you do differently?

    We do hope that we can soon welcome you at swapey and that you get into touch with many new collectors and that you may even find a thrilling item for your own collection at swapey! Welcome to swapey!

    Best regards
    AirComics

    Hey Comic-Collector!

    We are proud to announce our first competition!!! Applause.gif The lucky winner will be chosen in a draw among the owners of the first 2'000 comics that will be shown in the swapey museum. That means if you show 100 of your comics chances are already 1/20 that you will win the prize! You are probably asking yourself now what the prize is.... Happy.gif

    The prize is: BigGrin.gif

    Batman #172 (CGC 8.0!)
    Attack of the Invisible Knights, June 1965



    Just go to www.swapey.com/Comics and try your luck. The winner will be announced at www.swapey.com as soon as the 2000th comic is uploaded!

    As you may have noticed swapey has only started recently. swapey was developed by a group of collectors who noticed that there is a need by many collectors for a virtual museum where they can exhibit their collection, find information and even trade with other collectors. We developed swapey in our freetime with our own resources. In order to establish swapey as an important resource and meeting point for modellers, we depend on your support. Please give swapey a go and upload some of your comics and recommend it to your friends. Only then the vision of swapey becomes reality.

    We wish you good luck and hope that you will be the lucky winner!
