No, you've got it right -- OBOs do belong in .buy-sell-trade. Considering
the best offer among multiple offers is a completely natural part of putting
something up for sale or possible sale. SBAs belong in .auction. The two
are similar in underlying algorithm but very different in human perception.
The original discussion only started because someone felt it was inappropriate
to post an OBO into .buy-sell-trade...they said that an OBO sales were a kind
of auction. An OBO sale is about as much an auction as a scarf is a glove.
