with marketplaces the website is the easy part. getting both sides of the transaction to the party is the hard part. how do people sell in this market now? why would they switch to you? how are you going to reach them? take ebay they spend millions on advertising on google. and everyone know who they are.

I plan on building a brand / culture that appeals to my user base allowing them to "connect" with the website. I believe that I understand how the user base thinks, their likes and wants. Also, there are basically five large "pay for listings" type websites on the market now. They will switch to my site because all listings will be free and focused wholly on their market.
