The first page look like a random "spam site" because of the random stock images. It says nothing about bye, sell, or trade. Maybe show new and popular items on the front page instead? It would also be a good idea to explain what the site does and what's unique about it.
Came up against this <a href="http://i.imgur.com/DKHNnD5.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/DKHNnD5.png</a><p>I think it's a good idea however I suspect you're up against the very popular and local buy/sell/swap groups on facebook. Plus there's craigslist and gumtree.<p>Not to say there isn't room in the market for another such offering. Good luck with it but I would say it's not immediately obvious what those front page blocks represent.
You lost me on the mandatory selection of an avatar upon sign up, if it has to be necessary then add some predefined images so I don't have to select something from my hard drive. I was at work and I didn't have any selfies at my disposal.
allBST is a brand new "Buy, Sell, Trade" platform looking for its "first pioneering users." Create a group, post some products, invite your friends, provide feedback in the comments!

By the looks of the pics, it's hard to understand if the items are 'new' or 'used'. Eg. the digital clock in the end - is it used? or new?
Just wanted to stop by and say thank you to everyone who provided feedback. Our website is now MUCH better because of it. We're still working away to get everything implemented and are proud to have made Hacker News a part of our story!
congrats on launching it .<p>I tried to signup but couldn't.<p>The join button wont activate .<p>if you can provide a test account, I can provide some feedback .<p>I am not an advocate for offering social logins, but I kinda feel that for this site, it would be actually useful.
Neat! Now someone can launder money to themselves a la someone's side project, or even better, card items that they would otherwise find on Craigslist. /s
