NFT marketplaces look like e-comm marketplaces, but this might be a mistake in retrospect.

Items on Amazon are ERC-1155 (many replicas of one SKU), but most NFTs are ERC-721 (one replica per SKU).

This probably requires a new UX, but it hasn’t appeared yet.

IMO: Sotheby’s comes to mind, but I’d bet that most unique, high-value art is privately traded peer-to-peer (we just don’t see it). 

The UX probably combines fast/targeted discovery (to sift through all the unique options), followed by direct P2P purchase from the 1/1 item’s owner.

Ah the big brain take

Is this UX trait-based? Collection-based? What differentiates it from an art market?
