No. I meant non-profit project,or near non-profit, just to cover
collocation costs. I can develop it in short time, but I don't have a
time, because I am doing other huge open source project, who takes all
my free time.

To be honest, I just wanted to share the idea, because I think this
idea will benefit lots of people, who wants to save some money on grossery.
I want to make their life a little bit easier. I am not a vendor of
any kind. I am a programmer, who still have a programming and software
architecture
as a passion for last 21 year. Probably I explained it not in correct form.

For some period of time until traffic will be more than 25Gb I can
host it even on my web-server.

I meant to have some policy how to police the vendors. The validity
of the vendor's entries must be provided by the vendor itself. First of
all it's some kind of advertising of the vendor itself. Second of all
you and vendor will have some feedback from the customers who bought
some grossery or any kind of goods from that vendor. Users, who will be
registered on that site will have possibility to rate the product. If
user has been caught on results fraud for some vendors, all his previous
ratings for all vendors will be invalid and that user will be prohibited
for future ratings.
