store update Sunday morning!

OK, here's the scoop: the Anti-Factory store will be officially updated tomorrow (Sunday), 12/4, at 9am PST...that's noon for all you East Coasters. I valiantly fought against the crappiest winter light to take my garment photos today, and spent way too much time trying to color correct them...argh! Now it's just too late to start the ball rolling because i'm going out to a birthday party/karaoke night in japantown and won't be around to babysit the website.

I'm seriously thinking of starting some other kind of way for people to purchase from my website, because since i don't have a database that handles the buying, lots of times several people will buy the same item before i can update the website to say something's been sold. it super sucks! i know i've been complaining about this for ages now, but i'm thinking of just starting an policy where i have people email me to purchase an item, and it'll be first-come first-served without everyone having to drag out their wallets only to be immediately refunded.

hmmmmm. must think on this more. in the meantime, please come back tomorrow morning and enjoy your saturday night--go out and have some fun! below is the vintage corduroy turtle pattern to look forward to :)

Hi,
Have you heard of zencart before? It's pretty simple to install but you need a mysql database and php (I think) I'm no expert but it will automatically remove the item from being avaiable to "sold out" The layout is pretty easy to configure if you just customize the default layout to suit your needs. Anyways the website is:
http://zencart.com/

I use it for my site!
Hope that helps.

Hi! I also would recommend Zen Cart. I don't use it right now (I use mals-e commerce) but I am switching over to it very soon. I have it all set up and configured, I just need to put all my items up. It was pretty easy, and I don't know a lot about web design/php. I love it so far!

perhaps we could help you... matt has been tossing the idea around of making his database available... we should chat.

good luck with the last few tasks!

I'm excited :)
