As the Fediverse continues to grow, people are looking to build new experiences that change what's possible on the network today.

Flohmarkt is a nascent project intended for selling personal items, and may be the first attempt of its kind here.

I mean, how does craigslist handle it? This doesn't seem much more technically complex than whatever craigslist does

I can't speak for Craigslist, but in my area Gumtree is big, and I know from first-hand experience that they "handle it" by waiting for the crime to occur and be reported to police, then they give police the list of all IP addresses that viewed a listing. Having stared down the pointy end of a knife right outside my own home, I feel there's an opportunity to build a better system that keeps people honest and discourages thieves.
