I don't think it would get enough activity. I think it'd pretty cool to buy/sell stuff with members throughout the forums, but I don't think it'd be big enough for it's own forum.

1) BC is not big enough, and if a board was to be created, it would get maybe a view or two every couple of weeks. You have to wait until the board has way more than 30 or so active members before you even think about attempting something like this.

2) If the board was to be created, it would be a perfect place for scammers and tricksters to try and make a quick buck off of someone. I especially can foresee the problems with this, considering I'm in the middle of a PayPal dispute because I bought an item off of eBay, paid for it, and three weeks later, no item, no communication from the seller. Sure, there is a good chance that the victim would be fully refunded if they paid with PayPal, but still, the time it takes to get that money back is too long.

3) Even though it wouldn't be his fault, some victims of scams would be quick to blame whadu with messages like "OMG HOW COULD U LET HIM DO THIS? HE STOEL ALL OF MAH $$$! REFUND ME NAO BITCH OR ILL REPORT YOU TO THE POLICE", and I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to open BC up to that crap. Not to mention I'm not in the mood for a bunch of people BAWWWWWWWWWing over the fact that they trusted someone on a website that offers little in terms of feedback that all users can view when determining whether or not a seller is legit, like eBay (and even then, scammers take advantage of the system by buying or selling a bunch of cheap items to build up a reputation before starting to scam).

4) It's a stupid idea. If you want to buy something over the internet, just go to eBay or uBid or any site that takes PayPal.
