Real life photo of Team Bandicoot riding off into the sunset Whelp, we made it folks.  The final release of Augie Marketplace was a big hit. The audience roared, cheered, and showered us with laud and gifts of gratitude. The app was smooth as margarine in a turkish bath, and the idea was immensely intriguing to the augie students present. We had 'em all hook, line and sinker since the first minute of the presentation. That all beings said, we simply cannot deny the fact that this whole fiasco is done and over with. For the four of us, anyway.  Team Bandicoot is immensely proud of the work we have done on this project. We had our high points and our low points, but in the end, we developed a high quality application with legitimate potential for improving the Augustana experience. We each individually learned so much about ourselves and our abilities during this process. Now, with graduation imminent, it is time for all of us to move on to bigger and better...

We made it folks. We are on the verge of Augie Marketplace's great release. Like the monumental white whale emerging from the depths of the ocean to face Captain Ahab in one final epic confrontation, Team Bandicoot is stringing up their harpoons for the last push towards glory. Finally a way to get your used textbooks and school supplies out of your basement. Glory has never had a more accurate description.

Am I WAY OVERPLAYING this SARCASTIC line of questioning? Well that's nothing compared to the amount of time you, as a highly valued user of AUGIE MARKETPLACE, would waste trying to find an item in a poorly structured, impenetrable android app made by a bunch of shmucks! You'd waste a whole lot of time! We got you covered. We may be shmucks, but we respect your time. The app currently allows a user to search for items by Category, Seller, Date Uploaded, and Title. If you can't find an item in this search system, there's a chance it just doesn't exist. I swear, I searched Waldo on this thing and it came up with circled pictures of him on every page of every book. I'll never have to look for that striped trickster again. No really. ...Ok not really, I found thos...
