The mods prefer to leave the threads in tack so people can reference what items sold for if they are wanting to sell something similar. Threads should be lock by mods once item has been sold though in my opinion but that's up to the OP to ask and make sure they have finished the sale thread with an " all sold " post.

You can just change you're heading after you have sold your item and add sold that would be best.

You actually can not change the heading of your first post as that would be editing. What OP should be doing is ask one of the mods to please add " SOLD" to there thread title once sold.

One thing I personally would like to see become a mandatory aspect of the for sale thread title is the sellers location. If its not there it should be deleted until OP gets it right. That would make browsing the sale threads much easier.

Just my opinion though as a "special" member

At a minimum the seller should indicate in the thread that the items have been.

sold

This way if a mod sees it they can be proactive and add the SOLD label to the title.

Come on guys, really? You're telling me that PMing someone asking if the item is still available is that inconvenient? Is your time that valuable or is the hope that crushes you into tears when you discover the item is sold?

Asking MODs to do anything relating to this is just dumb. Yes posting SOLD is considerate and for the most part it is done but for the odd case... who cares. Also check the date FFS, I still get messages regarding items I posted FS years ago.
