Too many ideas...Please help narrow and critique

[Atown512]

I know ideas are a dime a dozen and it's all about execution, so I am really asking for open criticism on some of the better ideas I've thought of or heard. I've spent too much time thinking and talking, but generally not doing. I'm hoping one of these is decent enough to give a try.

I have around $5k that I can put in on my own. I could get more, but really don't want to risk much more until I see some results. If I begin growing and need more capital, I know a few people to turn to for larger amounts. I hope this isn't too many...I had enough trouble narrowing it down to these:

1. Bike rentals for college campuses: While in Miami I saw a single-use bike rental company called Decco Bikes that made it much easier to get around Miami.
2. Combining and portioning specialty drinks or shots into a single bottle or package: The idea is to make it easier for people to make specialty drinks and eliminate need for specialty ingredients
3. Website to help artists sell artwork: Artists can set up a profile and post pictures of their works. User ratings determine order of artworks displayed on main page. Search options allow users to browse different art genres
4. Mobile app for parking spots: Map view shows location and price of paid spots. Other users could "announce" open spots or reliable free spots.
5. Housing rental website where property owner posts a starting bid price, and customers bid up from that price. Owner can set different prices for various seasons and times of year.
6. Pre-sale tickets: Comprehensive list and search tool for early ticket sales dates and times. Concerts, festivals, shows, or any other popular ticketed event. Could offer reminder service that sends text messages or emails before the sale.
7. Online freelance tutoring website for elementary through college students. Tutors can set up a profile and students can rate the tutor.
8. "99designs.com" type website for business writing instead of logos. This was suggested by another forum member, and I thought it was an interesting idea.
