I would be mostly a buyer, but maybe occasionally sell miscellaneous items I no longer needed/wanted. While a Group would be generally sufficient, a gripe I have is that there is no forced threading of discussions, so it would be VERY messy to follow what people are selling or buying because they would be all mixed together, and like current discussions or posts, no way to have threaded sub-topics under a single discussion. Everything is linear and not hierarchical.
Linear posts go from top to bottom with no way to break off the main discussion, where hierarchical posts can break out into sub discussions under the main topic. So in a Buy/Sell group it would be VERY difficult to follow a single posting without other un-related posts mixing in. It really is a big gripe for me of this site, overall, and it would be a nightmare for a Buy/Sell group because people don’t either have ability or know-how to use “Discussion” topics when available.
So I would vote for a Buy/Sell group area IF you can do it hierarchically. If not then Marketplace is ONLY way to go. (just my 2 cents worth).
