I agree that "gouging" seems like the wrong term, but it was used once in the title and once more in the article: "This price-gouging annoys Mr. Buffett..." So, we don't actually know if Buffet himself called it gou

I do a lot of ASP.NET MVC work on enterprise apps, would be happy to chat about your needs. Can you provide a site or contact info?

Has anyone done something similar with a focus on software freelancing/consulting opportunities?

Recently saw a company on HN that does something similar: http://www.airpair.com/ Don't know much about them, but they seem to be making a go of it. Apparently there's at least some demand in the space!

PS: just checked out trycelery, too. Looks very cool! Since I've never run a site with preordering before, I'm not sure which features I'll need or not, but I plan to revisit your service when I get to that point in development.

Cool, exactly what I was hoping to find out. Thanks for the insight!
