This is a demo site... usually demo sites are for preview only... we're not making any money off this demo site however to answer your question in general, there is ample opportunity to earn a sound investment running a auction house/marketplace.

Your web site will cater to the masses of people who are interested in your target niche.  It's up to you to promote your marketplace and when you build it they will definately come.  You won't get rich overnight but over time you'll start to see your revenue rising just like in any other business if you play your cards right.

To future success!! :)

I traded my wife for a cart of Potatoes, and then the Potatoes for a case of Scotch Whiskey, the Whiskey for an AK47, the AK47 for a 2 small red cars, the 2 small red cars for a taxi license, the taxi license for a small plot of land in Northern Afganistan and now I am dooing very well. Thanks

agreed!
