Once upon a time, when the site was active enough to warrant it, we were brainstorming over how to implement a marketplace feature that wouldn't just turn into Gaia's auction house -- we wanted to keep all of the activity in the forums where people could negotiate trades and such.

The broad strokes of the idea was that you could place items from your inventory into your marketplace thread, and then the marketplace feature would let you search for those threads as if it were a shop. If you were selling an item, it would automatically disappear out of the shop once the item left your inventory, so you wouldn't have to deal with extra work removing items you don't have anymore.

We were also thinking about a similar system in the other direction, where you could mark which items you were looking to acquire so sellers could search for buyers.
