I used to run an auction site a few years ago.

It was the time eBay banned the sale of paintball guns. Myself and a couple of mates who played paintball decided to setup a dedicated paintball auction site.

It cost £110 for the software plus about £50 for hosting, domain and SSL certificate. We cover all our costs pretty much straight away and then all the subsequent money then paid for our paintball trips.

I still have a full license for the software now and have mulled over the idea of getting something up and running again.

iCraig, I don't know about your specific capabilities but I'm guessing if you're a web designer, you're pretty artistic with the various paint packages? If so, perhaps this place?

http://www.designcontest.net

You can join their design team and submit designs for which you'll be paid if you win. My place has used it to source designs rather than submit them and we're really pleased with the results.

Just as an example, there's a guy who paid out $650 for the design that won
