I like the idea, but the centralized platform means it would be hard to buy/sell drugs, sex and contraband, which would make it really interesting :) I'd also like to see a bidding component; for example, head to the Apple store on a big launch day, and bid for an iPad 3/iPhone 5--those at the front of the queue could make a tidy profit, and those with deeper pockets could skip the queue.

I like the concept, I think it's well designed and the iPhone app seems to be really great. It's got a bit of a chicken and the egg problem at the moment, but I really hope it grows.

I know they used launchrock, but I'm really curious how effective it was in locating the proper initial users in solving this problem.
