What did you like about the way they built the site and community? What don't you like, if anything? Is there one lesson in particular people can take away from Etsy?
I have kinda asked this to the group, but thought I would direct it at you. Do you think other sub-markets of eBay could flourish as a separate entity? Or was Etsy just able to find a really good balance of a good market with a good audience?
I actually invested in another company that directly targets another eBay segment.
So yes, I strongly believe that other sub-markets of eBay are interesting to compete with.
