When I first discovered 1000markets.com I was totally blown away by their design and implementation of an online arts marketplace… 1KM is beautiful, functional and focused. Of all the sites I've tried for selling my work online, 1000 Markets has the simplest, fastest and most powerful user interface. I love it.
I also love the fact that as good as it is, when I made a few suggestions to CEO Matt Trifiro, he saw the value of the ideas and was able to implement them nearly instantly on the system. This led to a great friendship and also to a consulting gig on a secret project which I am very excited about. I honestly believe that the project we're working on has the potential to be world-changing. It's kind of what I've considered my personal holy grail in web development and I'm confident that this is the crew best suited to finally make it happen.
If you're looking for a place to sell art (or other goods, in some cases) online I totally recommend checking 1000 Markets out. I had planned to write a really detailed review and overview, but since Asley Pahl has beaten me to it, I'll refer you to her post: Thinking about selling on 1000 Markets?. Ashley did a great job of providing a detailed description of what you need to know and how to set up your store, including screenshots.
