Here is one thing that people ought to be doing - remove their sold listings. It is beyond ridiculous that people will type in the heading of their ad that their product has sold but won't actually mark the ad as sold. 

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!

I find that interesting. If I want to research pricing, I can always run a search for sold and unsold items. Besides, it's not like there are plenty of the same item that I am selling that are on AM all the time, so regardless, I would imagine that one is going to have to run a search for that particular item anyways. 

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

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.....
Greg,
I never said that sold items should be removed. I feel like you may have misunderstood what I was saying. 

There are ads on AM where if an item is sold, the poster of the ad/item leaves the ad on with stuff like "Pending to..." or "Sold to.." in the subject line. The ad is never "marked" sold using the "Mark as sold" button/link. Those are the ones that I get frustrated about. Once an ad is marked as sold, it goes in the "sold" bucket, and using the search functionality, I can very well search for it.

BTW, I do know how to use the search functionality, I have been using AM for quite a while now.

Thanks and CS!
