1. Needs: For knowledge on the spot of an object or antique they wish to know more about such as price, quality, and history.

Different antiquers on the website uploads objects and object information to a data base. This is based on the ideal of Wiki group trusting and maintaining. People would be able to use a specially crafted magnifying glass that uses a built in wifi connection to the data base. When people point the magnifying glass at an object at an antique shop (like a flash gordon lunch box) by pressing a button on the magnifying glass they pull up information read out on the on the object on the glass around the object. So it helps to identify an antique by depends on the collective for the correct information.


2. Needs: Knowing the best places to go to and explore. A ratting system for different important things would help in the factor of knowing the best places to go to.

Place mapping providing iphone/gps mapping of all the different antique shops (the magnifying glass when used a number of times 5x will plot the point) Also users that are on the website are allowed to add shops and rate them on a bases.

3.Needs: To see what the shop contains and what other people may find interesting before visiting the shop. Keeps form being let down from all the hype people verbally place on a specific shop.

Tagging shops by photographs so when looking at shops online you also get images to see what they have before going.

7. Needs: Collecting relationships are a big part of antiquing. To be able to meet other people that have the same interests even on multiple levels would help connect and collaborate on expanding users collections.

Creating a mapping universe of collectors- such as sara owns a Gumby lunch box....This shows how many other register users have the same lunch box. then it branches off sara may also have a pee wee herman doll and from that image it branches off on people this allows to see who you really relate to by a webbing of objects and people who relate to them by ownership.
