PLEASE ADD THE WORD "SOLD/WITHDRAWN" TO YOUR AD TITLE WHEN THE DEAL'S DONE!

[Shonks]

hope you all don't mind me mentioning it!

There's nothing worse than reading a long post and deciding go for it or not, then half through you decide to buy and by the 4th page the seller decides to inform us its sold.....grrrrrrr!

[color=#2F4F4F][i]also applies to the other market place forums![/i][/color]

its an unenforceable rule for admin, so a kind request to all of you out there to be a bit more considerate.....thanks!!

please post here to keep it on top and to demonstate I'm not alone in this .(unless I am of course..lol)...Shonks

Putting" SOLD" in the title when the deal is done
Is indeed a great timesaver for others and a common courtesy!

[jimbobothy]

Agreed on this one, a nice big [size=6]SOLD[size=3] is a great help for other BC peeps.[/size][/size]

[voxpop]

Agreed, it can be very frustrating.

Please mark your sales sold.

Wot they said...

[neepheid]

I would, I just need someone to buy my bass first

[tom1946]

I have campaigned about this too!!

[Shonks]

maybe Admid should 'pin' this post!!!!

[Badass]

Always have done this....Saves loads of PMs asking it is it gone

I thought it was already up as a sticky: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/8907-important-when-youve-sold-or-withdrawn-your-stuff-from-sale/"]http://basschat.co.u...tuff-from-sale/[/url] ???

Top idea. If everybody could do this then it would help buyers and sellers alike: buyers would be able to quickly skip over sold items and so spend more time looking at the items which are available to the benefit of sellers.

[Shonks]

hey, it got pinned!... Admin geezers...i thank you!!!

And leaving the selling price in the ad after an item has sold is also very useful I find...

I agree! If I sell anything I always check previous posts to see what the going rate is Very handy!

[Shonks]

sure..but lets see if we can get 'em to behave generally...I'll be happy with that for now...the rest might follow

[wal4string]

Plus, it annoys me that some people post a reply at the bottom of the post which then bumps it to the top of the listings,

Yeah annoying when some people go and delete all details of the instrument and the sale, I've never understood that!

The idea really is that you can search for details of your BlatoSplatter FunkySlap-3000 and see what they usually sell for to give you a clue of what's reasonable.

Deleting the details after a sale really does everyone a disservice.

How do you edit please
PM me
Thanks
Stu

[ingmar808]

AS ABOVE - How do you edit the title of an ad?

NOT AS ABOVE - Please don't PM this info... it should be made super-obvious in the title post!

[Badass]

Click edit, then 'use full editor'

[chris_b]

Also.......

Leave the title line and the info about the sale.

[Kev]

Can I please request that this rule continue to be observed? Makes life a lot easier for members and moderators alike
