I feel like those kinds of communities on sites like these only really work if they are targeted and niche communities to sell/buy specific types of items. Like the mechanical keyboards subreddit that allows users to to buy and sell second hand keyboards.
Because of this I feel "The Bazaar" is much more suited to a new instance specific to being an online marketplace via lemmy. That way you would get communities like mechboards@bazaar and books@bazaar etc.
I don't think a single free for all style community to buy and sell anything will work very well at all.
I agree with you. An instance for 2nd hand sales, with communities to categorize. Then one community for feedback so buyers/sellers can build reputation.
I used r / hardwareswap and r / homelabsales and would participate in wherever those end up in the fediverse. Of course feedback was split between the two subs so a central feedback area would be an upgrade.
I agree with you. A different instance with sales communities is a much better option.
