While the idea has some merit, a normal forum is a pretty poor platform
for running ads, often requiring a lot of moderation effort. When not
entered through a template like on proper advertising sites, ads tend
to lack vital information (contact details, location, shipping options
etc). And if posting replies is possible it regularly leads to heated
discussions on the requested price, sometimes questioning the mental
status of the seller or just as often those who object to the requested
price. Or other pointless discussions in general.

Maybe a matter of definition, but I think a line in your sig with a
link to an eBay auction or similar would not be violating the forum
rules and work pretty well. Active posters would get more exposure,
thus rewarding teh regular contributors in the community.
