One possibility is to use Nook's Cranny for shops, bulk buying, and services, and add two sub-boards underneath it. The sub-boards would consist of listings for individual, specific items; one board for selling and one for buying ("looking for"). Shops would be encouraged to list their items in these sub-boards in addition to their own shop threads.
The new changes to trading are exciting! The DODO Code queue should make it a lot easier to host people and sell items, and I am excited to try it out.
However, I don't think that sub-boards for individual, specific items would be necessary. At least for what I've seen on Nook's Cranny, the most popular threads tend to be shops, whether shops with multiple different items or shops with the same kind of item, but different varieties (eg. DIY shops or clothing shops). I don't think I've come across too many boards who are only selling one thing and one thing only - thus, I question the need.
As someone who has used Nook's Cranny for DIY trading before, I personally would find it a burden to both list shops and individual items. Not only would this take additional time to set up, but I don't think I would be able to manage multiple threads when I can just consolidate that into one. Especially if you are managing 50+ items in the same store (which isn't unreasonable for some of the larger shops), there isn't much of an incentive for people to list their items twice.
I'd love to hear if other sellers/buyers would have input on this change though. Perhaps there are benefits that I'm just not seeing as someone who prefers to shop at places that sell multiple things?
