The results of this survey was a mixed bag. But it seems to be a good feature that should increase in importance to members over time.
I have personally have had good luck with it. I find that posting items here allows me to obtain a sale, in a friendly environment, without the high prices of ebay even if the item does not sell in 7 days. I see other forums that set one or two designated days out of the month to post items on a discussion group which seems quite backward when a simple post can be available for a long period of time.
