How much would it cost do something like this?

Hey guys, any idea how much it costs to do a website like this:

collegeswapshop.com?

Thanks

Do you want traffic and members and income from it too or do you just want the website? :-\

I would like the the ability for people to post textbooks easily, and a search engine (that searches by title, author, isbn, etc) that would search online book stores so a user could comparison shop. Does that help?
The rest of what that site does I do not care about. All I want is a site where people can post their textbooks, and shop for textbooks

I think that time need to develop such site it is near 2 months for 2 developers. In case of development from scratch. Time could appreciably reduced if the development team commonly work on projects from this area of expertise (seems that e-shops and e-commerce it is close fields). The development cost depends on hourly rate per developer. It may be from $5-10/hr. in India to $100+/hr. in USA.

It depends from many factors and could be from $50/month to several thousands (as example: high load service hosted on distributed servers)

If you get a package of site designing and SEO too as suggested by medialint it will be good to monetize your site just after launching.
