A new Social Marketplace is emerging where EVERYONE competes

Hello guys,
I am happy to post this topic and get your opinions.
LendingTree.com says when banks compete you win. Priceline.com lets you name the price you want to pay for your hotel and travel and then negotiates that deal if possible. So my question to you is, what if there was a site that spanded across the board for any and everything? Whether I need an auto mechanic, carpetcleaner, babysitter, software programmer, or even a tutor? In this new social marketplace, everyone would be an entrepreneur competing for the jobs of consumers. Do you think something like this works?
This is what my company is doing to bring it to life but wanted to get your feedback. You can visit bidwilly.wordpress.com to learn more. Please respond with your thoughts.

Let me know your thoughts, this is great dialogue. I want to be sure you understand the marketplace I am speaking of .
It`ll be great to hear from others as well.
As for the comparison to craigslist, it`s a much more sophisticated system. It took 3 years to develop and has an appraised cost of 3.8 million(and thats just the development cost). Craiglist doesn`t give you any information on the people you are buying from while BidWilly does. I can also use this same example when people browse through their phonebook to find a serviceprovider - no quality information available to make a good decision as you will see provided through BidWilly.
I love this talk Craig as it gives me a chance to see how some may confuse the magnitude and reach of BidWilly. I will ensure our marketing plan conveys the difference in our services vs. others.
