IMPORTANT - When you've sold or withdrawn your stuff from sale...

[Rich]

If your item is no longer for sale, please edit the title of the thread so that it starts with[b] 'SOLD'[/b] or[b] 'WITHDRAWN' [/b](whichever is applicable) in nice big capitals. DO [u]NOT[/u] REPLACE THE ENTIRE TITLE WITH THE WORD 'SOLD'.
To edit the title of the thread, go in and edit your first posting in the thread (sorry if you already knew that).

And pleased do NOT change the title of your advert to things like 'SOLD - PLEASE DELETE'.

Just add the word SOLD to the original thread title and we'll take care of the rest.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Some folks use different wordings, such as ‘Traded’, or ‘Gone’ etc. One can still put 'Traded' or whatever, no bother, but please always use either 'Sold' or 'Withdrawn' [/font][/color][i]as well, added to the title. [/i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]There could be many reasons for withdrawing an item, such as 'Gone to Ebay', or 'Sold locally'; even 'Evaporated in a puff of smoke'..! One may still add these comments; whatever fits best the bill is fine, without 'over-thinking' the exercise, but it's 'Sold' or 'Withdrawn' that we Mods are using as trigger for closure.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Secondly, some folks delete the title, replacing it completely with ‘Sold’ or whatever, or even deleting the topic contents. We would rather have the topic left intact. The important bit for us Mods is the not deleting the topic or title information, but simply adding 'Sold' or 'Withdrawn' in the title.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No big deal, but many use the ads, even closed ones, as reference, and it helps keep the information available when the titles and contents stay in place. There was a Mods discussion in which it was decided to remind folks of this. A simple 'Sold' or 'Withdrawn' added to the title suffices for us to close the ads; searching is then rendered much more useful for all.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Thanks in advance [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]for your understanding and cooperation; meanwhile...[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Have a nice day[/font][/color]
