Originally, before the large Buy/Sell/Trade section was built, our "methodology" for a BST area on the board was to have a single thread for ALL catagories that simply kept getting bumped up everytime someone posted to it. A lot of people liked having it this way because it kept things simple to find and they could just scroll to the bottom of the thread to look at the new items/requests.
One concern I think might crop up with starting such a thread now is the duplication of efforts that would cause. At one point, when opinions on the forum were divided, we actually had two boards - one run by Bill, the other by Leon. Each had it's own BST section. This was a concern because people felt they had to be constantly checking two different areas for the latest items and they felt as though they had to post their items in both places just in case a potential buyer should check one spot and not the other. People might feel the same sort of frustration here too, however, like Leon said - whatever you all want is fine. I think there will obviously be both pros and cons to having it.
