Should PPRUNE have a buy/sell facility?

I've asked why, when other fora I frequent (watches, especially) have a Sales Corner for private, non dealer sales, trades or want to buys, PPRUNE does not. The answer, I'm told, is that "350,000 registered members can't be wrong". I wonder whether perhaps this is perhaps a bit like saying, before the last election, that 20m Australians couldn't be wrong about dumping Kevin Rudd and bringing in Julia Gillard. I mean, we like the place, and all, an we didn't all move when it happened, and it might not change your life that much. But did anyone ask?

So, may I ask the question - should PPRUNE have a buy/sell facility for private sales, or a share/syndication facility, or something along those lines? This is not meant as a wind up - I'm just interested to know what people think. I'm not asking about whether it should be paid for or free - that's a commercial decision for the site's owners. But should people wanting to buy and sell or share aircraft, parts, etc, be able to do so on PPRUNE?

Your thoughts, please?
