What about

.shopping would be for stores to post their own info (in addition to the
fairly common "TRU has a sale in my town" posts we're seeing) while
.buy-sell-trade would be for more personal, one-on-one things.

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 (...)
