Dental Supplies Marketplace - Your Opinions Please

I have been working on a business idea on and off for a few months, the website is built (almost ready to launch) and I wanted to get some feedback from WF members.

Basically, the website is a marketplace for Dental Professionals to buy dental supplies at discounted prices. The catch phrase is 'Where Dental Manufacturers and Suppliers Compete for Your Business'

How does that work? Well, I have numerous dental suppliers willing to compete and offer discounted prices on dental supplies. They are also willing to charge the customer, and ship the orders to the customers. All I would have to do is actively market the website, add new products to the website, and print and fax, or email orders to suppliers when I get them.

What do I get? - I get between 5%-7% of the sales (different deals worked out with each supplier).
Even at 5%-7%, this could be a very lucrative business! Most sales reps in this industry only make that, and I can reach a much wider audience!

MY PROBLEM - I did a lot of work already.....and this has great potential, but I am always over-extending myself! Too many irons in the fire....etc.
I mean, I have 250+ products to add to the website, 10+ emails to respond to, and I am scratching my head, because I have too much other work to do. (yet here I am on WF posting this! - I also have A.D.D )
I thought about trying to find a partner, but I have been burned too many times.

I don't want to let it go.........any thoughts? Ideas? Comments?
