Most Stanford marketplaces have all tried to create a new interface, but using an interaction model that people are used to is probably a much better idea.

And it may - a large percentage of new businesses do fail. its easy to have the right answer when you don't state the question. seems kinda ‘jackass’ to say this will fail, yet, we’ll never know.

Sadly, people usually prefer to wait until these sites get big before getting involved, and it becomes a chicken-or-the-egg type of thing.

I did read your post about the frat boy ideas, but I don't understand what is wrong with trying to do something local. The city I live in is 60K people, we have our crappy newspaper classifieds and a radio station has classifeds. Why not provide a place for people to sell their items? If you produce a product that looks good and has great value to the target audience why not give it a shot? Craigslist is not comming to my town any time soon.

I still respect him for starting it up and I bet he'll learn a TON more than by not doing it. But it seemed like a jackass thing to not black it out. What do you think?
