Nice idea but can't see it getting anywhere to be honest, to much of a niche.

Many people disgruntled with ebay have moved to ebid but even that is not 
working that well as there needs to be a critical mass of buyers to make 
sellers interested and you guessed it there needs to be plenty for sale 
to attract buyers a catch 22. As much as people despise eBay the chances 
of finding something are much better as people clear out their loft and 
sell stuff they don't want anymore. A site that specialises in retro computing 
is just going to attract enthusiasts who are not going to be selling their
prized possessions and will be trying to get a lot for their unused kit as
they think it is valuable.
