Ask HN: What are extremely innovative marketplace ideas?

  Obligatory reference: Fiverr! I just love that place. It is like going through a 99c store with all kind of affordable oddities.

    It's incredible the things you can get done for $5. Just recently I had a professional quality commercial voice-over done. And I had my logo digitized for a very specific embroidery machine. I don't know how they can afford to spend the time doing such things.

      There is lots of potential there. I wish they had some API so one could create a shopping front and get everything handled by pre-screened fiverr providers. But I guess there are already many doing similar arbitrage businesses via virtual assistants that just coordinate fiverr orders all day long.

  A cool marketplace is Uber in a way. A lot of service industries could be used in a marketplace scenario similar to Uber.
