Sorry I've got no real opinion on this...

I'd rather have things stay the same, and move anything that is not a
*straight* sale /trade to .auction (stricter rules for the .b-s-t group)
Perhaps make additional group(s) for places as ebay / brickbay (not an
auction, but it's not the normal "straight sale" either IMHO)

Sounds great. I'd love to see loc.nl.jambalaya for instance, since it
doesn't seem appropriate to post (in dutch) stuff about the dutch jambalaya
box into lugnet.market.jambalaya
Perhaps even give each loc.xx group it's own .b-s-t group, for
regional/national sales, to avoid clutter/frustration (the current "US
only" kind of posts in b-s-t and .auction really annoy me... it's an
international group targeted towards people around the world)

No real opinion again... never go there much.
