APPMRKT.com - Ebay For Facebook Apps

Considering the success of Facebook applications, it’s no surprise that the more popular widgets have been rumored to have been bought out by larger internet companies. Accompanying and assisting this new trend in Facebook marketing is APPMRKT.com, which is an Ebay-like buying-and-selling community which allows for the secure exchange of Facebook applications. Ebay users will find the APPMRKT system very familiar; sellers enter in the Facebook ID, number of users, and date of creation, and may specify a reserve price or buy-it-now value. In turn, bidders may go at it for 3, 7, or 15 days (depending on the length of the listing that the seller specifies), until the application is sold.

“It's a marketplace for Facebook applications. You list your application, people bid, and you sell to the highest bidder.
We want to provide Facebook developers with a marketplace that is safe, efficient, and legitimate and allows them to find the best price for their application”.

APPMRKT could be an extremely valuable means for acquisition of Facebook applications. Since these widgets have been so popular among Facebook users, APPMRKT is poised directly over a potential goldmine. Its uncomplicated interface makes for easy and secure exchanges (users must register before they can buy and sell).

APPMRKT is currently operating in alpha mode, so there are a few annoying problems with the interface. When will the beta version be released? There are only three applications currently for sale; how does the site expect to up its publicity and promote more exchanges?
