Everybody could make their own rules: If you don't want people posting in your For Sale thread why don't you just say it. Something like "PMs only".
On another note: I'm planning to do my CompSci summer project on the forum. I will write a natural language parser that scans the Classifieds section and will spit out an eBay style listing of each item for sale rather than a list of threads. Users of the forum wouldn't need to do anything to be listed; the goal is that the program can understand what you have said and will extract all the information and categorise the items.
