Hard to tell anything from the site at the moment.

The up-front cost could deter a lot of people. Why not let people post and take a percentage of the final sale price?

Thanks for posting! Sorry that there isn't much yet; I just put up what's there to gauge interest.

So, the idea is that the site connects people who having something in common (buyer/seller, etc.), but then they would deal with each other on their own terms. I would think that it's more attractive to people trying to sell stuff, because I do not take a percentage. Just $1 to post. Of course, they won't pay $1 if no one is on the site...
