As a sales thread cannot be marked as live or closed, it would be good if the OP could edit their first post to say if the item (and even more so) itemS have been sold
Some threads - especially if its a clearance of many items, can run to quite a few posts you have to scrawl through before you discover it has been sold
Also, for some reason, OPs scrub the price in the sale. This is not helpful as other people may be looking to either sell or indeed buy and the ability to look back at what items have sold at historically benefits the seller and the purchaser.
I don't know if the forum infrastructure allows it, but some BBS can be set so it can colour code items that are for sale and change the colour if the ltem is sold.
This still requires the OP to action but if it can be done, it helps the potential buyer greatly??
Thanks Steyr

I agree with both of the above, being able to close a thread would also help as with no more posts available it would die naturaly and also be "padlocked" with an icon.

Yes always helpful but some folks just aint no good with a camera.Originally Posted by angrybear
I also find posting a pic to be a right royal PITA on BBS so I don't usually bother.
I tend to copy and paste a link to the image of the item on the manufacturers webby and I email pics if someone is that interested.
But some photos are so bad it actually puts you off.
I tried to sell my sister once and the photos were really accurate representations but could I interest anyone......the hell I could.
She is still available if interested ??????
I only mention it coz I cant stand the poisonous bitch

I always add pics, not hard to do ! and I always mark the original post as sold in red when the item sells. No trouble to do any of these actions.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day
You need to work on your sales patter...She is still available if interested ??????

Admin try not to get too involved in the sales section unless asked to do so, or we see an obvious problem, we basically leave it for vendors to police their own threads.
Most of the points you raise can be addressed by the vendor editing their first post.
Hi James.
I for one would rather not have members having the ability to close their own threads, I've seen this system on other forums and I find not being able to add information on a subject as the thread is closed a bit frustrating.
The sales section works well enough without major change so let's not mess with it.
All the best Mick

You assume that its a one item sale.You could always go to the last post and see of its sold.
Doesnt work if multiple items and there is often banter filled.
I do try that but its just as easy for the OP to amend 1st post which is what everyone sees in clicking the link. The OP manages to write a description and price etc. Hardly an imposition when it is (arguably) the poster obligation in the first place. I manage to do it

the thread remains intact but it just flags the thread title as item sold. If you see its sold them you skip on happy in your pink socks like pinko Cooper. Or you open it to see the information like prices and level of interest...pics and tech spec etc.Hi Steyr.

The OP doesnt close the thread or lock it. It is just a flag.
