So has anyone ever considered starting a sellers group on DU to sell items to other DUers?
Seems like the marketplace would be big enough, site owners could charge nominal fees, and we'd be selling to like-minded folks.

So now I'm a "I know it when I see it" kind of seller. Vintage magazines, cookbooks, vintage toys, TV/movie memorabilia, political memorabilia...

Don't be offended: One of the biggest markets on etsy is custom fetish furniture and items for Barbies. Are yours suitable for 12" dolls?

Just a thought. I'm sure there are plenty of pros and cons to it.

I had one set up on my now closed vBulletin forum that worked fairly well and I'm confident that Elad's skills are up to adapting or creating a similar one here if he had the time and interest but, as you said, there are plenty of pros and cons to it.".

Had you known about that group or posted to it before you ran across this? If not, why not and there's one answer.
