Umm. I dunno. If that's the kind of traffic you want to unload, then
certainly a lugnet.debate group is the way to go.

Oh, ok. Well, then, I am useless to you, because I have no ideas. :D
lugnet.not-a-straight-sale is unweildly.
I suppose you could have lugnet.market.sale (defined as only straight sales),
lugnet.market.auction (with a note saying that for Lugnet purposes, OBOs were
SBAs and belonged here), and lugnet.market.special (or .other, or .freaky or
what have you) for things that don't quite fit (like trades, etc).
But that's about the best I can come up with.
