I had this same idea, plus many many many more.
I think custom events can make use cases like this much stronger / better, UX wise.
I think Nostr can be way bigger than "just a twitter replacement".
I'm hosting a relay for developers and reckless users to help prototype and iterate on this stuff.

It's not hard to see how close this is to becoming a replacement for Tor hidden service based marketplaces. Just need strong anonymity for contact, escrow and two sided evaluations... no more hax, no more DoS attacks, no more markets shutting down.

I miss OpenBazarr. Hopefully something similar will emerge again.

I'm working on this marketplace (launched in 2021): https://bitejo.com
Hopefully I can clean up and modularize the code, then release it as open source. Then people could host their own online store or multi-seller marketplace, with a federated search (search for a product and receive results from all marketplaces). But it would be federated (similar to Mastodon/Lemmy), not directly peer-to-peer (like OpenBazaar or Bisq).
Particl.io has a P2P marketplace for its PART altcoin. Maybe someone could fork it to use Bitcoin.

It just seems a natural fit. I have read about how people in Asia have been buying and selling (using fiat) seamlessly through whatsapp for years.

+1. In my old city, local buy/sell Telegram groups were popular. You could find anything there (products, jobs, rentals, local events). Informal, KYC-free and for cash.
I wonder if there is a group feature for Nostr (users can join a group and only group members can see the messages, maybe a relay could be configured like this?).
It would be nice to have global marketplaces, as well as private local marketplaces for villages/cities/regions (e.g. food from local farmers, taxi/delivery services, rentals, jobs, events).
Will be interesting to see what apps can be built on Nostr's relay/client/post structure.

Nostr Market simply fetches and displays posts with the hashtag #nostrmarket. No custom post types, payment processing, escrow, etc.
The source code is public domain: https://codeberg.org/Anarkio/nostrmarket/ Feel free to adapt it for your own projects (e.g. different hashtag, better UI, more features).

Added a regex to scrape the price. If a listing includes the price in BTC or sats, the price will display in a box.
It would also be possible to add a product form + regex to scrape the attributes (price, location, category, etc.). But I want to keep it simple right now.

Sorry but what's the point if there's no escrow or reputation system?

If craigslist works fine, why is this needed? Craigslist has had a "accept crypto" option for years. Just to be decentralized?
