A few things to keep in mind:
I'm not sure if its just because kslingo didn't know any better but he was asking 60 dollars plus shipping for a apple tv 2. I offered him what he asked and implied i was trying to rip him off because they are going for more on eBay. (i did think 60 was a good deal but like i told him i thought he was just trying to give Mac Forums members a good deal. I also have seed them on craigslist for his similar asking price.)
I am unsure how this makes me a rip off.
I suggested he raise his price if he wants more which he did.
I mostly just take offense to him saying I was trying to rip him off. Maybe he isn't that great of a person to buy items from.
I'm just saying.
Have there really been NO selling feedback since 2014?
The B/S/T area has normally not been that busy. It's basically here as a convenience for members...and there are minimum member requirements to post here. If we removed the minimum requirements...this area could very likely be filled with newly registered members who ONLY registered to sell a single item...then disappear (and possibly not be the most trustworthy). This is not the sort of member we want posting in the B/S/T.
Regarding good seller/bad seller feedback. This is only one aspect of the B/S/T area. Not every person selling an item on eBay or Amazon leaves feedback...and not every person having dinner at a local restaurant leaves feedback on Yelp...and thus the same thing with Mac-Forums. Human nature usually is that those persons that have a bad experience are probably more likely to leave feedback than persons who had a positive experience.
Yes there may not have been any additional good seller/bad seller feedback since 2014...but that's not to say there hasn't been any activity in the B/S/T area since 2014 (just not a lot of transaction feedback). Transaction feedback is just one part of the B/S/T area.

Hmmm.... I seem to recall we had the forum hidden for some time. But it's been a while, so I could totally be off-base.
