I have been waiting for something like this.

I hope they are working on a JS integration like Stripe has though.

A form POST as their method of integration reduces my confidence level a bit.

You're using my WordPress mobile plugin for your blog and have it slightly misconfigured with your cache plugin.

Send me an email and I will help you fix it.

They aren't the same thing.

I wrote the code to do this if you want to buy it.

Kudos on the video. I was 50/50 on whether I wanted to buy one, but after the video I had to have one!

Reads like a regurgitated press release.

Yawn.

But you are competing with Craigslist. Not to mention the App store has no shortage of classified apps.

Posting to classified sites really isn't that difficult. For some people, sure, but enough to justify a company? The proof is in the marketplace with the lack of traction for Eggdrop, Antengo, and the numerous other apps that claim to make posting items for sale easier.

I would stick to the community aspect. I don't know if there is anything there, but at least it is different then what already exists in the market.

This is exactly what it was like for me as well, and I suspect the vast majority of other entrepreneurs.

An acquisition takes away freedom, the thing we value the most.

Elon for president?

I would be weary of relying on Exec for anything substantial to my company because if they get acuihired, they could disappear overnight and leave a gaping hole in my business that could be very difficult to fill.

With all due respect to all other YC companies, I think in the end, none of them will even come close to Stripe.

The biggest issue with this is that they don't understand Jim Gaffigan's comedy.

The way to be humorous with something like this is to use a skit from one of his early comedy skits with a witty twist.
