Cozybug.com - An online flea market

“Cozybug.com was specifically created to address the challenges produced in the online sale and purchase of items that are large, heavy, expensive and difficult to ship over long distances such as furniture, appliances and vehicles; it is also ideal for shoppers that prefer to examine an item in person locally in addition to viewing it online. In addition, we focus on items that one would find at your local Flea Markets or Garage Sales. For instance, one usually would not find personals or job wanted ads at a Flea Market or Garage Sale, therefore we do not offer those services. However, we offer Advertisement and Store fronts for moving and truck/van rentals services because it is in line with our objective of facilitating the buying and selling of hard to ship items locally.”

This is a neat idea because it is specific to a certain market and it´s easy enough that even people who normally shy away from internet purchases will be inclined to check it out. It´s a cool twist to use something global (the internet) to make local transactions, and it could catch on pretty quickly.

Would it be possible that the site is not going to attract enough buyers and sellers to keep running? After all, the flea market items are few and far between, and it´s not the everyday buyer who specifically wants such an item.
