What does this new project offer us?
It will be a marketplace for small vendors, companies, factories or enthusiasts that would be able to offer their unique/DIY electronic devices to their potential customers. At the moment it is certainly very difficult for them to make some global impact with their handy devices as they simply do not have an opportunity (without extra funding) to make them accessible in the chaotic environment of this market. Highly specialized and reliable gadgets will be even closer to you!
Problem:
Mike is trying to start a business from his hobby, making small replications of historical cars which he can control through an app he has developed himself in his free time. Even though his surrounding supports him, he has admitted that he can't go further with a development of his methods and improvement of his app. As a seller on an overflooded platform like eBay or Amazon, it is almost impossible to spot him. Additionally, even if he is spotted by potential customers, they might be discouraged by the price of his product. As a small seller, he has to keep in mind high commissions which negatively influence the price and the will of buyers to buy it as well.
Solution:
Mike has an opportunity to build his reputation and stable flow of customers on Hamster Marketplace, which provides him a place to sell his highly specialized goods for minimal margin put down by owners of the marketplace.
HMT Token:
Hamster Marketplace Token will serve as a utility token on the marketplace. Producers will be able to pay service fee with their tokens, offer discounts for buyers, to promote their products in the marketplace (priority display, banners, a place in the "Recommended" section, to be a part of email newsletters) or to access special functions, such as statistics of sales, socio-demographic profile of buyers for product categories and entire platform as well.
Crowdsale:
The crowdsale has begun on 19th February with pre-ICO price 1 HMT= 1.6 USD. At the moment, you can grab HMT tokens with 20% bonus, so the price is set at 1 HMT= 1.8 USD until 26th February 20:00 GMT. If you are not able to buy it now, don't worry! You still got a plenty of time before 19th March for 1 HMT= 2 USD. You can contribute with a plenty of cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, Ripple and more!).
A total of 7 000 000 HMT tokens are up for grabs during the crowdsale, which makes 70% of all tokens. The team has reserved 27.5% of tokens, and 2.5% are reserved for bounty purposes.

Conclusion:
As electronic devices are constantly being developed and demand is rising, people are seeking for highly specialized gadgets. Specialization on this level cannot be created by big companies, as it wouldn't be worth for them to develop them. Hamster Marketplace will fill this dead zone in the market by providing space for enthusiasts to run or start their own business based on a model of the uniqueness of their goods. That's the reason why I personally think Hamster Marketplace will lead in the sector in few years.
