A marketplace (buy/sell) sub would be nice. You would just need [Buying] and [Selling] tags, maybe also [Location].
Trades would be peer-to-peer and non-custodial (similar to Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace), so Stacker.news doesn't need to deal with payment processing, escrows or order status.
Monero has something similar here: https://www.monero.observer/tag/community/ and https://reddit.com/r/moneromarket I don't know about any similar platforms for Bitcoin yet.
A marketplace without allowing users to send payments to each other on SN feels like a missed opportunity, but it would allow us to not have to escrow and deal with order status stuff.

You can have a digital goods marketplace where you do use LN on SN, but for something that needs in-person delivery, I can see this being very useful. Heck, there are plenty of people that want to trade cash for BTC or vice versa, so that alone would probably be a big value-add.

A simple non-custodial buy/sell sub would be a good start (Craigslist works well with this structure) then could add built-in payments, order management and escrow in the future if needed. Bitcoin needs more P2P marketplaces, so this could help a lot. :)
