90% would do what they do now. Why would people want to lock their own threads? Moderators locking threads after an item is pronounced sold is an idea however it might lead into a conspiracy debate.

i don't see why a thread should be locked once an item is sold. i think the seller editing the title to include the word "SOLD" should be sufficient to prevent PMs about that item for 99% of the head-fi population (in theory).

Well said.

Sure thing, as long I get to edit out the $$$ amount.

Man, August really is boring, eh?

 

[krmathis]

Yeah, bumping threads where the item clearly have been sold! are somewhat annoying.
Not sure if we need a rule to eliminate them though. They are not that annoying...

You'd think it wouldn't matter, except when I get PMs from an AD I put up 3 months ago asking if I still have ______ when I didn't update it I'm certainly tempted to do so in the future.

It's an extreme annoyance when I have an item for sale and it gets bumped to the next page by some halfwit that must let everybody know on the first page that they have sold their item. Congratulations, but I don't care that it sold, just edit the post and leave it where it belongs, away from view.

You make a good point there actually.

I only find it annoying when the item is bumped sold and not altered in the title. This irritates me a little if I am wanting that item...

You can edit the title of your thread. Click around the text on the main forum page. The box to edit should pop up.

Congratulations, but I don't care if your sale doesn't always stay on the first page.

i think this should be implemented for sure....i hate getting excited after finding something only to discover at the end of the post that the item is sold.

Exactly.
