You have picked an interesting niche within a large market of professionals. I assume you have done your homework re: competition, present options for solving customer problems, and therefore demand for your product.
There are many market niches that are presently underserved by current businesses. Do you really think Craigslist, Ebay, and Facebook will still be the only solutions for their users in 20 years time? I highly doubt it. Smart entrepreneurs find a way to snag users from sites with proven appeal by creating a unique spin on what the market leaders do.
For example, a startup in France (not yet in the States, hint hint) operates an online marketplace for specific, high-demand categories of goods such as electronics (ie Iphones) and digital cameras. You can choose what you want to sell for, but the price must be 50% below retail, regardless of the condition of the item. So- specific goods at 50% or more below retail is a unique sping for an online marketplace that hasn't yet been done in the States. There- I have just released one of my startup ideas. Anyone want to have a go at that one?
