I like this idea quite a bit. Both selling and buying furniture on CL is a nightmare. I moved to the city 3 years ago from across the country and was forced to sell furnishings for a 3 bedroom house. I don't expect you will have much trouble on the supply side because CL sucks: 1. CL interface is abysmal. No way to tell people stuff already sold or to automatically repost. 2. Dealing with humans was trouble. From time to time, someone would show up and offer a fraction of the asking price. 3. People can't move big stuff. 4. We were particularly time sensitive. We like sleeping on a bed, but we also don't want to be stuck with one. 5. People come by at random times, or don't show at all, or schedule a pickup a 10 days in advance. It would have been great to just load everything at once and be done with it. I understand you don't want to rent a warehouse, but a 90 minute auction is too short. On another note, this business model reminds me of modcloth. When they first started, I think they used to travel around and buy up vintage clothes to sell on ebay. Much later, demand outstripped supply so they started contracting out to small shops to make replicas.
