What did I start lol. Seems easier just to delete, instead of browsing through a bunch of useless posts that don't exist anymore. Seems simple but that's how its set up then it's all good.

Several issues with deleting. If we let you delete, then the thread is gone on a whim. If there is a complaint by buyer or seller, I have no reference to go back to.
It's also good to know market value of items. Most things for sale have been sold before, so it's nice to see what people were asking or paying for things. Saves you under pricing your item, or over pricing and getting flamed for it. It's also nice to see how often things come up. Corals for sale often have pics, you can compare something for sale today against something last year to see if it's the same, or priced properly, etc.
Lots of reasons to keep, and it's simple enough to mark sold. or search with dates, most things are sold fairly quickly, although I sold an item that I had listed 7 months earlier. I've bought things that were posted 9 months earlier and the seller had given up bumping. If they had just deleted it, he wouldn't have sold it, and I wouldn't have got the deal.

how about a check system of sorts , lets say joe in denver places a for sale ad , the item sells but he doesnt update it , if a user ( maybe one it bothers badly) visits the for sale thread in hopes of buying finds out its been sold s/he can click a sold option that would be displayed next to the threads title on the buy and sell page.


maybe at the bottom where it says reply there could also be an option for "report as sold"


i bet lots of people pm sellers to find out something is sold but dont bother posting about it , and lets say big deal someone pushes it to be an ass while its not sold the orgional op can just undue sold.

something to start the idea ball is all lol


ps.....i actually find the way it is now just fine , i mean if i pm someone for something and its sold.....it took maybe 30 seconds , i can live with that i wont let it ruin my day
