Is this your site? It looks like mostly static markup. Is this supposed to be a blog or something? I recognize a few of the artists from Soundcloud...where is the music coming from?
Agreed. I have been thinking about the "what's it worth to store stuff question"...and I think, as someone who may store things for people, that $10 a box to fill up my 12-box closet might be worth it.
Access would probably not be 24hours....times to be listed on a "sellers" profile.
Agreed, the person storing would need to probably know what's in the box. While this could be weird, if you want to store your stuff at someone elses house, you probably wouldn't mind them seeing what's in the box.
Sorry if I didn't make it clear that Gumshow is in no way part of Gumroad. I also do not work for Gumroad.
I have just been trying to figure out a way to build products on top of Gumroad's great and super easy to use api: https://gumroad.com/api/authentication.
I am most definitely cheerleading for Gumroad since I think more people building markets, etc over their payments system will enable more users making money for themselves.
Update: Not everyone has a Twitter account with many followers, so marketplaces combined with other ways of getting old and new products to Gumroad could go viral.
I think there is not an answer to this question...yet. I built Gumshow.com a few months ago half-way expecting to update and re-brand the site for whatever niche really takes off on Gumroad. However, I don't think that this has happened yet. While our team here is going to give Gumshow a face lift and $7mil makes me feel good that Gumroad is sure to stay in the game, I'm just not sure where the explosive growth is going to come from. I think, as one commenter here said, paying some higher profile artists (musicians, etc.) to use the site could be a very effective marketing move. It's also possible that a niche market product (that uses the Gumroad API, like Gumshow) could get things really rolling.
I was actually just coming back to this post to re-consider that closing paragraph, it was a little dramatic. I should have pointed out that this idea has moved around quite a bit in 3 or 4 months, I'm certainly adept to change - this was related in the application as well. On my twitter page I just said "Shop Joy may have to pivot again".
I wonder about this too. I just noticed that our idea fits RFS #2 pretty well. I wonder if #2 is played out? It's certainly not as general as RFS #9, and I assume many have given this one a shot. On the other hand, most of these RFSs could probably stand relevant for years to come with multiple and varying startups able to satisfy the request.
