About the store yesterday, what kind of products do we/dcgirl want to sell?
Does anyone know www.banggood.com? No its not a porn site
Its a chinese webshop with a really broad product line, they also have interesting wholesale options, there are much e-Bay resellers using that.
I've ordered there many times and had always a good experience and communication with them, maybe their products could be sold by the UTC-Store?
Would be the first customer, its one of the cheapest source for Arduino/Quadcopter/LED things
Second idea would be USB-Sticks with SMOS/BAMT preinstalled for mining UTC and mining hardware like powered riser cables,
that would be at leased things people would need here.

I received a number of PMs yesterday with ideas:
1. Image hosting/sale - this would be the easiest, but most costly to implement (because of hosting fees). Nice because it would be all online (no shipping product), user to user. I'm thinking about approaching various existing image hosting sites to see if they'd be interested in accepting UTC as a payment option.
2. Auctions - not hard to implement, but several existing crypto auction sites have shut down recently, seems risky.
3. User to user marketplace - also not hard to implement.
4. Traditional retail marketplace - best long-term option, need to figure out supply chain piece, would need a lot of day-to-day support. I'd do this if someone was willing to take over that part of it (deal with suppliers and provisioning/shipping), split the fees.
5. Specialized marketplace - this could be anything - the idea of selling "preconfigured" miners for UTC would be a great idea. Easy to implement, would need to partner with someone that could provide the miners.
Other things to figure out - pricing: price for product in UTC (time of sale, daily average, etc.); other coins to accept (UTC only, discount for UTC, BTC, etc.); how to handle returns (I don't even want to think about that).
i think a simple route would be best, such as a peer to peer item selling platform.where you are able to select a distance range aswell. basicly ebay for utc but small.
