Re: job shop auctions

these are all great points!

the system could be designed to allow the bidding shops to have a bid
fee. so if the engineer would like to include various shops to bid
on the project, they would be aware of this charge. also, policing
functions would be included like previous references from jobs you've
completed and so forth.

if i wanted a job done, i'm not sure i would take the lowest bid. i
would consider past record of the shop and so forth.

all of this is great ideas.

again, as of now, there are about 5 listings in the directory:
http://www.yeagerautomation.com/directory/

we can do better than that with this group. it would be handy to
have a good list of peoples services. thanks to those who submitted.

if you all would like, i can remove the yeagerautomation reference
and header at the top. i just grabbed the template from one of my
other pages. please voice your opinion. thanks.

thx,
doug yeager
