Luftwaffe Collection

[Roger Gaemperle]

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 Luftwaffe collectors).

www.swapey.com

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
(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

TESTING
After 3 weeks of testing the software we finally go online today! That said, it might still happen that some errors occur. In this case, we would be very happy if you contact us via info@swapey.com so that we can improve as quickly as possible.

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
We start with Militaria. In the future, you can access the militaria category directly via www.swapey.com/militaria so that you don’t see items in other categories. At the moment this feature doesn’t work yet, but will do so very soon.

CONTENT
The publication of contents that violate legal regulations, third-party rights, or moral standards is prohibited. Therefore, please don’t post photos that show swastikas or at least cover the swastikas on these photos. More: Terms of use

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

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!
