If it's OK for a newbie to do so, I'd like to offer a suggestion for the classified sections.
I think the feedback section could be more useful for screening your own sales/buys if it were set up as a subforum within each classifieds section, and then each member has his or her own thread. As people conduct their business they can either add to someone's existing feedback thread or start a new one for the person they dealt with. The "Jon Goodman came through!" thread in the general forum right now drives home the convenience; it's easy to read multiple accounts of people's dealings with Jon if they're all in one thread, without jumping around to discuss other people's feedback.
And if you haven't dealt with Jon before and you want to read his feedback, then off the main menu bar up top go to Search, then Advanced Search, then enter Jon Goodman (or whichever member) in the Key Words and change the function to Search Titles Only.
Another plus to this is that since it's one URL for each member, a seller could put a link to it in a for-sale post, or interested buyers could PM a seller and include that link.
That is, unless it's difficult to create a new forum or subforum.
