Is this similar to those social clothing sites where everyone votes on a item that they would be willing to buy and is made available once it gets enough interest?

No. Those sites tend to be mass produced (like 1000's) type things.

The idea behind Craftly is to be a place that allows someone who, say, makes stocking caps by hand. They want to sell them, but don't want to invest a ton of time w/o committed buyers, and don't want to spend a day setting up a "store".

We plan to allow sellers to set tiers for their item. So for example, if 1-3 people want that hat, they pay $10. if 4-6, then the price drops to $9, 7-10 $8 and if more than 10 the price drops to $7.

Everyone who gets in on the deal gets the final price. So if your the 1st or the 15th, you'd get the $7 price in that example.

Does that help clarify?
