Brainstorming for YDC 100 !!!

[suesjools]

I'm in, just don't call me a "Golden Oldie" or a "Golden Girl"
I've got Silver hair..........ok its Grey.

But I do like the sound of Chocolate Gold, Silver & Bronze medals / coins

Oh darn, and here I had you earmarked for the Sophia role.

I like shiny, as Kimbo said, IMHO that gives more options for listing than just gold.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

[cheaver]

I like shiny too and aim to be here.

While I appreciate that quite a few people are indifferent/hostile towards the Olympics, I find that younger people are mostly much more enthusiastic. It feels like a mistake to ignore it.

In the meantime, however, I think we should try really hard to recruit new buyers and sellers with a target of 100 sellers by the 100th ydc being ambitious but not impossible.

I think it would be a tactical error to base any YDC around it, but it's just my view.

I'm not indifferent / hostile, I was really miffed when we didn't get tickets. I love the Olympics it's just the organisation of it all that's been a shambles IMO. I do however think that it might be hard to base a YDC entirely on a sporting theme unless you had something else in mind?

The colours of the Olympic rings might work - I just need to be told what they are

[raindropsies]

How about

people try getting 100 items between them, but each item must have been made in the last 100 years and 1 item for each year

So I could say i will do the years 1914 and 1979, others add to this thread saying what year they could do. Then on YDC 100 people could list as YDC100 1912 1913 etc would make a rather fascinating view and could get more folks in to buy.

I would also like YDC100 to run longer than the 4 days (7 days as a 1 off)

Can we start listing now with a start date of 24/06/2012? Suggestion - list items that start with the letters of YDC too. This gives more scope for more sellers and buyers.

runs away to Coventry before she gets kicked up the bum again

[meebo1]

Now who would be so cruel as to kick you?

I can think of 1 or 2....3, 4, 5....
