Thanks! All great points. You're definitely right that the auction format inspires serious mistrust these days(i.e. "Just buy a bidpack!"). Our main goal is to provide a platform where sellers can get in front of new customers and buyers can get access to quality products, in a fun/engaging format.

get access to quality products

A marketplace of only actually awesome stuff that I can buy right now sounds good.

Amazon sells good stuff, but a lot of crap too. Their mission is to be comprehensive, not curated.

You mean FAB, then?

More like FAB than like Amazon, but a lot of the stuff on FAB feels a little cheesy. I'm thinking more like Uncrate without the supercars, yachts, and kickstarter junk.
