Why him? For the "Virgin" branding?

He doesn't need any money it might make, and unless
its done with great care, the cheesed off buyers and
sellers it would almost surely create, would sour on
the other Virgin products.

If Virgin were interested, they could have bought and
re-branded any number of wannabees over the last
few years, most recently BidVille.

Creating a new one from scratch is daunting.

Knowing what eBay/Ostock/Bidville/etc mistakes to
avoid requires having paid deep attention to the
on-line auction marketplace (something even eBay
fails at).

Only The Don is up to this task.
Petition him.
