I came up with essentially the same idea as inviteshare about 2 years ago. It all started with a "damn, where the hell are these guys getting all these invitations."
My version was a bit different in that users would have to give feedback to sites whose invitations weren't ridiculously rare, and as you gave feedback, you would earn points. Then, when the really hot invitations would roll around, users could bid on them using the points they've accumulated. Either that, or the more your feedback was rated positively, the higher up a ladder you climb, giving you priority/ more points.
That all ended with me pitching the idea to a friend of mine and having him reply "Eh, sounds cool, but I don't think anyone would use it."
Looks like my $25k was meant for another bunch. Oh how impressionable I was.
