I'm not trying to be close-minded...just skeptical. Traffic will be the big hurdle, but if they get the same amount as Ebay, then I definitely agree it has potential. But I also think they are some details they need to address for them to get over that hurdle. One is the 27% commission, which will turn off a lot of sellers, even if you can get over 40% the price (people can get transfixed, not on the bottomline, but the %). The other is the 185 days commitment. That alone turns me off. When they have enough traffic to get the ticket count up faster, then they can cater to sellers with a more realistic 30 days.
