Ask HN: YC S2011: Who Applied and why?

Just a simple question wondering who cares to share about their application to this batch of YC and why they chose to do it.

I'll start with myself. I applied to this batch with an idea that I hope will give sellers instead of buyers an upper hand in the consumer to consumer selling market.

I applied because I believe in the idea and am already considering working on it exclusively full time, but would like to get some outside validation that it is worth my time.

To compete with an ebay or craigslist eventually I think I would need a combination of both good funding and viral marketing. It seems like YC could help me significantly with both.

On the downside I am a single founder and never finished college. Guess we'll see what happens

What's your idea and why did you apply? I am sure there are plenty of us out there that would love to hear it
