Hmm... Keep the products in the product showcase. Add a link to the top of the poser forum header for more visibility. You could always add a "WIP" or "Coming Soon" type forum for those who are doing WIP posts and are not sure whether they are going to sell the item or give it away. If so, add a link to the poser forum header for that too. I also think it may be a good idea to have a "merchant contact" or "product question" forum open to all members for people who have questions about a purchase or want more details. Thats my $2.50 (or 99 cents as this weeks advice in on sale ;) )
