I suspect that Magic The Gathering Online Exchange would have done a lot less business than Mt. Gox. This sort of shenanigans makes a lot of sense if you're trading low-value niche product that most people regard as a hobby. As soon as you start seeing real value, it's time to let the big kids take over. Pierre Omidyar hired people as soon as eBay grew beyond his ability to trade Beanie Babies. That's why they're eBay.
