Is there any progress on the stuff-for-sale website,

Got bogged down with VCF East preparation. It should be wrapped up a week
or two afterwards.
I picture a website where you could enter items found
in shops as well
as personal inventories of things we'd part with if asked. Location,
item, price if known, date spotted, etc; and a way of checking it off:
"gone", "I bought it", "it blew up", etc. A sort of very
narrow
inventory system for the world's scrap shops and basements.
An interesting idea. It could certainly work. I can try to improvise
something like this as part of the VCF Marketplace site. Then I can try
to charge the various shops whose inventories are being listed a listing
fee :)
Would this be useful, or would it just make it too
easy for dealers to
vacuum up all the good stuff? Impossible to keep up- to-date, or worth
the occasional stale entry?
I'm sure there's both good and bad points to this.
