Simple:
* Competition among buyers where bids/offers are used to solicit
progressively higher bids/offers:
--> .market.auction
* Direct sale or trade of items between individuals, where some negotiation
between buyer & seller or subjective judgment by seller may occur:
--> .market.buy-sell-trade
* Direct sale of items on first-come-first-serve basis, e.g. a store or an
fully-objective (non-subjective) automated sale:
--> .market.shopping
IOW:
.shopping is for no-brainers -- if it's still left, you can buy it
.buy-sell-trade is for low-negotiation -- if it's still left, you can
probably buy it.
.auction is for high-negotiation -- compete with other people.
