<p>Thanks to those who have cooperated and begun adding "SOLD" to their ad's title when their item sold! Remember to simply <em>add</em> "SOLD" to the title, don't <em>replace</em> the title with "SOLD!" This will help keep your ad more easily searchable when others are looking for examples of what's for sale/sold and pricing information, etc.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Also, when someone responds to your ad and details of the sale are to be worked-out, please <em>don't </em>do that by replying…</p>
<p>Thanks to those who have cooperated and begun adding "SOLD" to their ad's title when their item sold!

<p></p>
<p>Also, when someone responds to your ad and details of the sale are to be worked-out, please <em>don't </em>do that by replying back-and-forth to your ad - use the Message system instead! There are several reasons for this:</p>
<ol>
<li>Each time the buyer or seller responds to the ad with price negotiations, contact information, shipping logistics, etc., it pulls that ad up to the top of the Forum and "pushes down" other active ads which is unfair to those members.</li>
<li>If you use the Message system rather than the Forum, your contact information, phone number, email, etc. is kept much more private and secure.</li>
<li>Public negotiations on the Forum gives the impression that the item is sold. It is not uncommon for negotiations to fail and the item is still for sale. Keeping negotiations off the Forum will give the impression the item is still for sale and might help you get a sale in case the first potential buyer doesn't follow-through.</li>
<li>However, it is perfectly OK for the seller to respond to their own ad to announce a price drop or other information!</li>
</ol>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for your cooperation!</p>
