Acabooe recently sent me a message that got me thinking and I would like to get the opinion of the many luthiers we have here. Although our forum is very popular and the uke marketplace board is always lively, we do get enormous amounts of traffic to just the main site and those people never venture to the forum. The idea I have is this:
UU would build a separate section on the main site for custom build ukuleles. Luthiers would be able to list their custom builds in this section in two ways:
1. They would pay UU a montly listing charge, provid their own paypal link and keep all the profits.
or
2. They would allow UU to list the product at no initial charge up front and instead allow UU to take a % of the profits when sold.
I think this would be a great service for builders who do this as a hobby or those who just can't afford to create their own website or get their ukes out there.
Please voice your feedback and let me know if you would be interested in such a program.
