[Coco] We NEED a Centralized Location..........

[RWAP Software]

There is already one platform ideally suited to this - although I admit 
it is my own.

It is www.sellmyretro.com.

The site supports selling in different currencies, and fees are 
extremely low - no standard listing fees and only a 2.5% fee on the 
final sale price - compared to ebay who charge 10% of the sale price + 
10% of the shipping costs; on top of listing fees (or expensive shop 
fees).

The main issue is persuading people to list their items for sale on it 
because they tend to like to sell direct through their own websites and 
cannot generally cope with several outlets when only making items in 
small quantities.
