I'm ready to test my muse but another supplier currently sells the same type of product through daily eBay auctions. I got the idea for this muse from the fact that they're consistently selling daily on eBay, but nobody's selling the product at as low a price outside of eBay.

*Because* the other seller is already established as the primary source for the product on eBay, I don't think I'd be able to get a true read of interest by testing there (and also I don't want to tip them off that someone else is coming into the market; I think if we start out on a "I don't sell in your neighborhood, you don't sell in mine" vibe by me not trying to sell on eBay, I'll be able to establish myself as a "first mover" outside of eBay); does anyone have suggestions for other ways/sites through which to test?

if its the exact same product why dont you just do a search for completed auctions?

Set up a website with your product and do a PPC campaign and post your website link in forums that your target market consistently participates in.
