As may be obvious from the frequency of my posts here lately, I've been going through the flashlight accumulation startup phase. I'm ready to let some of my early missteps go.

I like the peer-to-peer, no platform fee of something like reddit's r/flashlight monthly pinned BTS thread. Would there be appetite for something like that here, or does that just make moderation tedious?

Is there already a trade-friendly fedi solution that could support something as specialized as (ahem) enthusiast flashlights? TY in advance.

I've only given away lights here, not bought/sold/traded.

I think the volume of trading likely to happen here in the short term is too small to make a useful transaction record. You can guess from an account's history whether it seems to belong to a person who would care about harming their reputation by dishonesty in a transaction.

As an example, I would buy from you, if I was buying (I'm probably not buying).
