Seattle-based 1000 Markets, an online community of marketplaces for niche products and artisan crafts, has raised $503,739 in new funding, according to a regulatory filing. The investors were not disclosed. 1000 Markets competes with Etsy and eBay, and plays in a similar e-commerce space as Kirkland, WA-based Bonanzle (profiled here last month).
