Don't think you mentioned a fee schedule for users, but I would be willing
to pay a start-up fee and then have the option to kick back additional money
on a voluntary basis after successful sales.  Being locked in to paying a
hard commission would not be attractive to me but not a serious deterrent,
either.

Not having to deal with collecting and tracking payment is worth something to
me. If your site does that and just lets me know who needs to be shipped to,
that's worth more to me (and that's a source to collect the commission from,
too) than if I have to handle the money myself.

More thought is required, of course, to handle things like non payment, refunds
if the seller reneges, etc. but that is an area to add a lot of value. Whoever
gets there first with an integrated solution will, due to first mover
advantage, grab a lot of the market. Todd, are you listening?

You've got it.  I think this would be an excellent way to fund Lugnet.
I could probably throw something like this together in a weekend or two,
but it doesn't fit the mission of BrickShelf.  Of course this
would also require some sort of business structure behind it for
financial and legal purposes.  That could be thrown together in a week or
two also if one was properly motivated.
