I agree.  Maybe it's time to kill .buy-sell-trade and .auction and replace
them with:

  .barter
     Exchange of goods for goods -- rather than goods for money.
     (The word "trade" has too many different meanings.)

  .forsale.auction
     Traditional auctions, SBA's, and OBO's.  Anything non-fixed price.
     (".auction" is just a label here; it would be more accurately called
     ".variable" or ".negotiated", but probably more widely understood as
     ".auction")

I am going to reiterate my old argument (Todd has heard this before so I
won't state all my arguments again) for an Ebay.auction group. If we are
changing things why can't we do this? Please Please Please.

  .forsale.fixed
     Fixed-price straight sales -- no negotiations.

  .wanted
     Hopeful/wishful want-lists as well as concrete offers to buy.
