I got mine on Lootmaar

The spam bots are quite affectionate. When I’m not around, at least they notice. Thanks, Sam, for offering to introduce me to hot girls of unknown beauty.

With that auspicious start, let me tell you about Lootmaar. I sent a little sneaky email to a bunch of friends two weeks back saying that the beta is now ready and available. I didn’t post it here, because I was afraid. I thought my child wasn’t ready. Can it really deal with the cheek pulling enthusiasm of the real world? So I didn’t post about it here. The baby needs rest, I thought.

In the meanwhile, Jehan Ara Pasha (:P), used Lootmaar, liked it and wrote a post on it. Osama picked up the story from Jehan’s blog, and wrote a valuable analysis. My baby was becoming famous.

Somewhere along the line the first transaction was closed, a Rs. 300 graphic card. The toothy grin of the first buyer is attached.

In its own humble way, Lootmaar is creating history. URL: http://beta.lootmaar.com

We’re only offering the service in Karachi and are working with a courier to take Lootmaar countrywide.

    Thanks Umar.

    We need people like you to support our system. We have got positive response from most of the people and the trading activity so far is good enough considering we have just rolled it out to a bunch of friends so far.

    So put all our stuff thats lying useless with you and start loot-ing!! and spread the word!

    Hi Adnan and Noman,
    I have been wanting to put stuff on Lootmaar ever since the Beta was launched but never got round to it. It took Dengue fever to get me to do it. ;-) .
    Let’s see how I fare. Good luck! It is a great effort.
    Cheers, Jehan

    something even better. look up entrepreneurship classes taking place in universities, talk to the teachers or the students, go there for a guest speaker session. hand out pamphlets of your website.

    or if you got lots of money.just a plain ad on front page of DAWN, saying the websites name.

    =]

    luck with the venture

    Thanks sooban.

    This all is planned, just fine tuning the system and procedures while we are still in BETA.

    stay connected.
