Free idea: candy aisle

create an e-commerce widget that formats vertically for inclusion in blogs and on web sites. (leftnav, rightnav) a good place to sell you e-books, t-shirts, etc.

make it free to use and pick up a % + transaction fee. hook it up with amazon and others with affiliates programs for those without things to sell.

this is kind of neat. if i could easily throw up something like this on the right side of my blog where visitors could purchase books that I'm recommending I would definitely do it.

you should do it them. i don't have the time to do it myself, but would be a willing first customer.

I think I saw something on TechCrunch over the summer about a company that does exactly this.

market validation. you should be their competition.

rightcart looks like it might work, but it's not apparent how the pricing model is structured. i assume i have to sign up to get that info. (and i'm not paying a buck for a "wink" - whatever that means.)
