Identifying those people to the trading community won't help the people getting sharked because they simply don't know about these things.
Probably the only real solution is to use the search tool to tell every noob the real price of their unusual. Once they know this, they can't be sharked.

Let's say there are 100 people against the sharks. If everyone pays 5 cents, they can have a common subscription.
Then, they search every hat/effect and divide the job among the 100 of them. In less than 1 day, every noob will know the real price, no one can be sharked anymore.

If the search database was private and given access to sharks only, no one would know the sharking and no one could use the tool to advise all noobs.
