We hear so many stupid ideas like this on a weekly basis.

The best one yet was one where this chick in Atlanta wanted to launch a new Craigslist, except it was going to be all video based ads not text.

If someone didn't have a video, they couldn't post their ad, it was touted as being 'face to face business' instead of anonymous'.

We explained that most people don't actually know how to create their own videos and she basically turned around and said that they 'weren't the clients' she wanted.

Never heard from her again after the initial sales call.
Not the worst idea. I have seen plenty of startups featured on techcrunch that made way less sense than this one.
By the way there is one website where you can only sell things if you upload a photo of both yourself and that thing in it. Also something about face to face approach.
