update: Here's my review for those who are on the fence:
http://honeybadgerofmoney.com/2014/09/04/open-bazaar-anonymous-marketplace-1st-impressions-review/If you're too lazy to read or see the pictures, imo it's just not ready to use yet, its fun to try out and I'd like to be able to see other marketplaces but as it stands I can only see my own stuff which leads me to question if anyone can see anything anyone else has off the network.
Hey frankenmint, thanks for trying out the platform.
If you're unable to see other marketplaces, then you likely have a an issue with setting up UPnP or port forwarding. There are approximately 25 stores on the network with various products right now (I just bought some honey from a beekeeper in Ohio).
If you like I can help walk you through getting it working correctly. Or stop by the IRC room #openbazaar on Freenode.
This is Sam Patterson by the way, I'm Operations Lead on the project. I just joined in order to weigh in on OpenBazaar.
