Organisation of site
=== Products and services are sold by public and private patrons. To sell a product the seller needs to give the product a title, upload photo/s, state a price, describe the photo/s as well as give a product description. The last two points are not always needed, but the others are mandatory. Once products are sold, the seller should press the sold button provided by the website. Products are bought on a first in, first served basis. The buyer needs to be the first person to comment sold or ask questions about the product. Prices are non-negotiable. If you miss out but would like to know that you would like to buy the product/service if the first person doesn't turn up or decides against purchasing, you must state NIL. NIL stands for Next in Line ===
