It seems more and more that the Trading Forum is being taken over by auctions and sale lists. I'd like it very much if a new Selling Forum could be created for these threads or possibly a sub-forum of the Trading Forum dedicated to selling.
Also a possible major site improvement in the future would be creating a Wants Forum and a Haves Forum. Your post in each forum would be created by clicking checkboxes on a form that told what you have and what you need. You could then do a query that would match your haves with another person's wants. I know heroclixtradingpost.com was set up like this before they went under but there were never enough users there to make the system worthwhile. There would probably also need to be some way to query based on how long ago the list was updated to avoid looking at out of date information.
That also brings up the problem that you can't delete your old trade threads once the edit period has expired. It's not a big deal, just a little annoying.
