Not sure where would be better to put this, but something I've found on other forums that is helpful and not in great use here is leaving prices on sold items. It makes it 10x easier to price things out when you're selling or buying when you can go back and see what they recently sold for. As of right now the vast majority just include SOLD. There is a photography forum I've done a lot of buying and selling on and it's an unwritten rule to include at least the latest asking price before the item sold. All you really need to do is put "SOLD" in red letters around the price and the message should be pretty clear. Just my 2 cents.

I always wanted the same thing haha. Got pretty annoyed that I had to guess the prices on some items I tried to sell.

Not only does it make it easier to price your items, sellers also have examples of other prices when people claim "its priced high".

Many prices are obo, which never reveal the true price, which would be useless anyways It is very customary to delete prices on for sale items that sold on every forum I have been on.

i have noticed this too, so what i do is just constantly open up for sale ads of stuff i might own just to see what people are asking--that way i keep myself up to date on used market pricing.

We do that as a respectful measure to the buyer.

What?



It's totally up to the seller, recently members have been deleting the original post (which I don't like) for some reason. The OP can edit their post at any time, I think they remove the price and replace it with "SOLD" so people don't continue to ask if something is still available.

I agree it would be nice if members didn't delete or remove the pricing or information, but that would be an extremely difficult rule to enforce.

Impossible to enforce without removing the ability to edit your own post.

What if we have a sticky saying to leave it up for courtesy? So it wouldn't have to be mandatory?

Since the beginning of the internet stickied posts are not read, or followed.
