No.....a fool if you would even consider voting for Biden because you dont like Trump...... I dont particularly like Trump myself but vote for a Democrat considering what they are about these days? HELL NO......

I dont have to like Trump to vote for what he has done/wants to do and likely will do......

Why can't AM moderators ding a point from folks that leave their ads on - it surely is a strain on the hardware where they manage the data?

Thanks and CS!


Actually the general preference is to mark them as sold and to leave the sold listings up.....when trying to price something you are selling it comes in very handy to be able to review what they have sold for previously.

I wouldnt hold my breath for that policy to be changed......

When reviewing new ads the system defaults to not showing you sold ads anyway......you have to tell it you want to see sold ads.....when searching it does show sold items yes, but see the top paragraph.....

Turns out we are both right, depending on how the parameters of the question are determined.  Funny how that can happen.

Bottom line, Greg should leave his raccoons alone, your is probably not rabid.  ermm

Been hunting AND eating raccoons all my life.....hard choice between BBQ coon and a good steak for me. Never seen one that appeared to be rabid but I have heard of a couple.....

I actually KNOW 2 people who were told they tested positive and never took a test in FL......Pretty sure the odds of me knowing the only 2 that happened to are way UP there......

You just can't point a loaded weapon at someone to intimidate them or protect property. You can only defend your life, which they did not appear to be doing.

LOL.....300 people tear down my locked gate and crowd up on my front door threatening me? They will get a lot more than just a gun pointed at them.....

I have to admit, viewing items that are already sold, is very annoying. 

CS!

If the sold items are removed you cant search them period...... lol  However I think I have a cure for you....

If you click on the classifieds page then click the "Search " option you have a whole list of options to customize your search..... Note the circled items in the screen capture below. Also note the option with the arrow pointing at it which gives you even more parameters to narrow your search. Note the default is "any" which will include both sold and unsold items.....
