Introduction to RateMyCollection.com

ratemycollection

Hello, my name is Lee and I am the founder of http://www.ratemycollection.com.

The RateMyCollection site has been designed to be a fun and easy place for users to exhibit, share and promote their collections. There are many different categories and users can post pictures, valuations and discussions topics in relation to their collections. You can also feature in further details up to 10 Featured Items.

The site is free to use and registered users can submit news articles and events and list their ebay shops or other Collecting related businesses in the site's Business Directory. We're based in the UK, but we are hoping to make the site a global success.

The site is centred around a rating system that drives the placement of your listings. Collection can be ranked by the viewer based on a number of attributes (most views, highest rating in category, highest rating overall) to suit their interest.

The site does not require any personnel information so collection listings are totally anonymous.

We see the site as complementing forums such as this one, giving users the opportunity to link to their collection exhibits.

We'd love to get some James Bond collections on the site. So if your an avid collector of James Bond, why not exhibit them at www.ratemycollection.com

Try it out, if you like it tell others, if not tell us by posting here, posting on the site or by e-mailing marketing@ratemycollection.com

Also there is a Limited Edition Founder Members Badge Promotion. Limited to 500 badges T&C's apply. Check out the site for further details.

Good Luck with your collections.

I hope you're not here just to advertise. . .

At any rate, we have a Collecting forum, so I'm moving your topic to the right place!

ratemycollection

Thanks Hardyboy.

Did you check out the site. If so I hope you got a sense of what we are trying to build and that we are not some fly-by-night spammers trying to get a quick buck.

Obviously I'm trying to spread the word about our new site, but our ethos is For the site to be a useful reference point or exhibition centre for users of forum boards such as this one. We want to engage with collectors in their area of interest and in the environment their are comfortable with. Our aim is to encourage collectors to extend their collection and to encourage new collectors, thus adding something positive to the industry.

Also, given that we are British, we love James Bond movies and would love to see our greatest export feature strongly on the site.

Thanks and Good Luck
Lee

British, hmm, maybe I should move from yourprops

Higgins

nah, they don't have a **** section so far!

danjaq_0ff

no good then

ratemycollection

Yep British and proud of it. ps what are yourprops.

In this ever changing world in which we live in you should 'give it a try!'

danjaq_0ff

yeah, but no buttplugs 8-) how can that be right

danjaq_0ff

yourprops is an internet site doing the same sort of thing, I think they have the market with props and they are linked to the replica prop forum.

MANDY1

hmm, maybe i should try this 8-)

ratemycollection

Thanks Guys,

I checked out the yourprops Site. It looked good I thought. Our site offers something a little different as it has a rating system and generally revolves more around collections.

The collection is greater than the sum of it's parts!

MANDY1

So basicly ratemycollection.com does not offer anything new to us "James Bond Prop" nuts only, eh? 8-)

danjaq_0ff

do they have an arse section

danjaq_0ff

or thong

Higgins

only for those thongs, that are worn over the head :v

ratemycollection

Sorry neither of those are acceptable on www.ratemycollection.com. It is a site that focuses on family content.

Think to yourself - "would David Cameron put his name to this collection listing?" If the answer is yes then it's welcome on the site.

Higgins

story of our life, Pete

noone really wants us and our collections.......

Doesn't Cameron like or wear thongs, by the way?
And we have a lot of thongs in my family, not to mention all the arses )

danjaq_0ff

no, he is to far up himself

David Cameron would put his name to anything if he thought he'd get a couple of votes from it X-(

I guess you have an extensive "hug a hoodie" collection then !

Yeah, here in Australia people show off their thongs everywhere, particularly in summer. Though pesonally I prefer sandals - they don't fall off so easily.

ratemycollection

Hmm, Sandal collection.

We've not got a category for that, but it could work.

I love this angle guys, its given me an idea. Thanks.

Jag

You also don't seem to have a category for model cars - or at least I could not find it easily...

ratemycollection

Cool I'll create one for that. The site is based on a Content Management System so we can create categories at the flick of a switch.

Would you see it as being a category of its own or a sub category of an existing item on the site.
Perhaps

Category -> Models
Sub Category -> Model Cars

What do you think?

Higgins

.. well I for my part would not expect cars behind a "models" category :v

ics

Is this spammmmmmm ?????????? )

ratemycollection

Well here you go Model Cars as a top level category.
