Look, I'm all about supporting the underdog, but there are certain business challenges that just can't be overcome in the real world. There are certainly lots of business which have been started by people running a business solo out of their garage, but in a situation like this where you are taking on the world's largest auction site, you need a significant amount of capital and frankly a significant competitive edge that makes your site substantially better than what the much larger competitor offers. You were sort of on to something when you were getting exclusive auction items that were super rare and almost never showed up on Ebay. Unfortunately, unless this becomes a weekly thing, it won't drive traffic. As it stands now, you literally offer nothing that Ebay doesn't and you don't offer any of the financial incentives or sheer volume of items that Ebay does for buyers.
You don't have five years. You probably have another six months. If your site doesn't catch on within the first two years, the chances of it ever becoming popular are about zero. You can talk all you want about strategic partnerships and advertising, but the real proof is in your profitability and $125K in sales which results in roughly $4,000 in net revenue to you is less than you would make if you held down a paper route for a year. I have no problem with people pursuing their dreams, but I do feel an obligation to say something when a business person is simply flushing time and money down the drain which could be better used in other ways with other business ventures.
