I do not pretend to speak for everyone. The problem for me is that I can not
discernbetween trade/sale/auction posts. They are all the same to me. I
attribute a value to a set I want, if I can get it at, or below, that value
I do not care what the route is for me to get it - as long as I can trust
the seller.  I can not see how anyone can think any different. I can
understand that some peolep do not like ebay as a entity, but that is about
it. Either way, I think all market posts should be treated the same way. I
still think the best way to progress this is to install market.theme
groups{1}, but I do not pretend to speak for everyone.

e.g. .market.technic

Technic is a good example, as many Techies do not venture outside technic
sets.
