If someone is looking for a product which you yourself have available in a marketplace it's ridiculous to not be able to help them out by posting that you have one available. Especially if you're a small guy like me, and only have several niche products available to begin with. That does nothing but make the guys with big names get bigger, and the small guys get smaller. For instance, I have a sci-fi set that I may post soon. If someone is going to be looking for a sci-fi set, I'll probably see that post. And I'll see nobody posting my name - but I know I'll see the big names there. Davo, StoneMason, Sanctum Arts - all with their names being flaunted, and likely themselves showing up a few posts down saying "Hey, thanks guys!" All while I stare there reading, being unable to do anything about it. It also doesn't help that all the big guys out there have so many top-notch artists drueling over their stuff, so they go out and give away their stuff for free in return for publicity in their galleries.
