Suggestion for "Buy/Sell/Trade" area

Postby StreetHawk » Fri Aug 28, 2015 5:54 pm

Could members who post in the "Buy/Sell/Trade" area either be allowed to delete their posts if the item sells (if they don't already have that ability) or someone put in charge of that one area of the forum to clean up posts for items that have sold?

I lock the posts once the original poster indicates that the item is no longer for sale.

But it tends to make it difficult to find things still for sale, having to go down the list of posts.

I would agree with you if there were a lot of postings, but there aren't many. Sometimes weeks pass without any new posts. The first page, when I just looked at it, had 18 months worth of ads. It is very unlikely that anything more than a month or two old is still available. Additionally, the ones reported as sold have a lock icon indicating that the post is locked.
