First off, forgive me if this topic has been discussed before, I searched on 'classified' and 'ads' and found no worthwhile nodes. So if it has, I blame the search engine...:)

Basically what I envision is a simple little section where people can post ads for whatever. At the moment I'm thinking that "community" would be the deciding factor, rather then perl. I wouldn't think it would need any custom code type frills, something akin to sopw would be more then sufficient. I would imagine the nodes would look something like "Hi, I'm selling off a bunch of my old perl books and wanted to give them a home with a loving monk, email me." Just a basic message letting other people know they have something to offer. Thoughts? Opinions? Anyone?
