I don't understand your position. What is the difference between a person selling a privately-owned firearm out of their home and a person selling a privately-owned firearm in a public forum? What would be achieved by allowing one but not the other?
On a side note: selling a firearm out of ones home seems like it could present significant safety concerns for both the seller and the buyer.

Requiring non-FFL holders (regular guys like you and me) to conduct background checks seems like it could present a legal nightmare. As a seller, how do I verify that the information that the buyer is giving me is correct? Am I liable if the buyer presents fake ID? Would the seller be required to keep a sales receipt containing all of the buyers personal information like on the ATF Form 4473? I don't think I would be comfortable with any of those things as a buyer or a seller.
