At this point, I'm thinking of a place for Emmanuel to post his DYA
announcements.
Going a bit more extreme, if Wal*Mart wanted to start posting their LEGO
specials on LUGNET, I think that would be great. But I wouldn't want these
advertisements to go to any of the existing groups.
My take on .buy-sell-trade is that it is non-commercial, often somewhat informal
offers for exchange between people (not businesses).
And .shopping should be (usually is) people's experiences and finds while
shopping, or individuals posting about mark-downs they've heard about.

I didn't mean those things, but a .services group might not be a bad idea.
