DU Exchange?

[makhno]

I just posted a "for sale" ad on Craigslist and thought, why not have a DU marketplace/exchange of sorts? A number of computer boards I participate in have such forums, where sellers' and buyers' trustworthiness is augmented by their stature as board participants.

DU would present an additional advantage - the nature of the board would ensure that parties in a transaction are supporting at least a subset of shared ideals. Since the election, I make it a point to research all of my purchases, personal as well as professional, in terms of the political affiliation of the seller (fuck you, EMC!), and having a DU marketplace would facilitate transactions between like-minded individuals.

What do you all think?

On edit: OK, the dunce hat is firmly on! As helpfully pointed out by fellow DUers, we already have an exchange forum. So, to rephrase my question, would it be a good idea to move the exchange forum out of the forum hierarchy pits and into a more prominent place?
