Since it wouldn't be connected to a physical store, it could live on forever. If members of the admin staff get sick of running it, they pass it off to someone else, etc. Thus, for any artist or label that may decide to promote the site, it's a long-lasting result since there is no reason for it to disappear. The rent is to cheap. Second, the full sale proceeds go directly to the artist or label. There would be no pay or bill management coming from out part. We'd just be a credit register in that sense.

i like the idea but still not 100% what it exacltly is.

Although straight sway the fact that the label gets 100% has me worried. This business needs to have some sort of income to pay advertising, webspace, admin costs.
