There is currently about 500k listings on eBay right now in the Adult's only categories, and about 400K+ of actual sold listings still available to be viewed, dating from Feb thru now.
There are around 900k+ of completed listings still available to view of sold and unsold items.

These categories, to my knowledge, are not accessible, available or even viewable to members outside the USA.
What do you GFY'ers think, is there a market for an adult version of this? Would a platform that provides wider global access make it more lucrative?
Does anyone here every sell or buy adult products on eBay, or elsewhere in a public format as such?
I've discussed this idea with several of my cohorts over the last couple of years, but we have not pursued in any major direction. I've got some background building niche auction sites and own one that is about 2 years old now that is finally starting to get a little momentum going so I have some familiarity with the dynamics involved. I've also been involved with ebay from a variety of angles since 1998.
Anyway, any thoughts you folks have here would be appreciated.
In the meantime...Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & all that jazz
