Hmm, I sure wouldn't call those "shopping."
A "one-off" (like some old castle set) that's offered first-come-first-serve
to someone is still a BST type of thing.

No, they should be in .market.buy-sell-trade unless they like some kind of
formalized "presence" on the web or a storefront or whatnot.

An alternative name for .market.buy-sell-trade that we were thinking about
long ago was .market.barter -- which emphasizes the one-to-one aspect and
trading -- but doesn't emphasize straight-sales quite enough.
