OFFER: If anyone has any great ideas to build real commerce in light of this VC globalist trash announcement, let me know and if it makes sense my firm will invest in it. I own an investment firm in NYC that owns mostly (but also other types) technology companies.

Direct message me for any serious conversations.

I've made a ton of offers to help the fur industry over the years, and no one has cared. But I'll try again. I don't think "some ecommerce website" is the answer without a system behind it but I will entertain any ideas for brainstorming.

Thank you.

Hurrumph! Best of luck

It’s something that I believe would be a good investment, but as far as doing the computer end I’ve no idea and would zero help with this.

I'm barely computer literate enough to comment on this site. So I would be no help. But I would try and swing a wider net than just fur. Try and draw in more traffic, that is why ebay, etsy, Amazon, etc. all work so well, they have millions of people browsing them, and are household names. Getting something off the ground could be tough, but I hear tell there are computer algorithms to help with this (I wouldn't know). I'd think a site that was open to as many different types of items for sale as possible would draw more traffic and thus get more "browsing sales".
