Book In Bulgaria - http://www.bookinbulgaria.com - It's a full-blown reservation system, with a hotel reception endpoint (so that availability is always accurate). Hotels can sign up themselves, and it also has fully automatic billing.

Why are you trying to sell?

I'm bored. The technical side is done and now it needs a sales guy to make it successful.

I'm always curious how side-projects that are marketplaces initially got their supply. Seems like there's a good amount of RVs listed, did you have to do your own biz dev footwork in addition to building out the site?
