If people would be kind and thoughtful enough to modify their FS: (For Sale) or WTB: (Wanted To Buy) ads to indicate that the item(s) have been sold or found by replacing
FS: with SOLD:
or
WTB: with FOUND:
it would not only alleviate the nuisance of reading ads that are no longer valid, but in cases like this, keep people from totally wasting the time it takes to compose a detailed post.
Please modify the original Subject Title so that the status change will be reflected in all topic listings.
I'm surprised that only about half of people do this. Perhaps someone has not taken the time to read the ad posting guidelines, but surely they must notice that the other half of ads in the lists have been modified accordingly as described?
