As a fellow web developer I applaud your effort.

However, in practice I think building up enough regular visitors is going to be difficult. I'm just not sure very many people will be motivated enough to check in-game and in the auction forum here, and then think "well maybe I'll go check that new auction site also", especially since the first time they check it it will have few listings.

And if you don't have regular visitors you won't be able to get people to list their items. It's a vicious cycle. But good luck (sincerely) in figuring out how to prove me wrong!
