What I do on all of my sales Threads, is once the knife has been sold, I will mark it as Sold on the Thread title- nothing more grates me when I see a knife- pop in to have a look and it's sold and been sold for some time - why do that?- let everyone know it's gone and dont waste your time in coming in?
I edit all my sales Threads for many reasons, there's nothing shady in my deals at all- in fact I sell quite a few knives for good causes, Gift a lot of very nice Knives and expensive ones, have giveaways etc, but......I house clean- my for-sales threads are wiped clean after the deals done and knives are shipped. I take back used up space- even though that's a very small reality of saving there I know - but still.
Another big part is I consider the price of the knife that has been sold to the buyer non of your business at all - most serious buyers are in the Threads often - they may pass it by the first, second or third time - but once you start dropping prices and it sells- and that person wants to know what it sold for? - well they had their chance and didn't take it up, and there's a reason why Knives sell and you dont see posts- the buyer will contact the seller behind the scenes - because some people dont want it known what they paid for what knife - its no ones business but theirs.
So I am the first to put my hand up and say- yes i do that, but I don't do it for any "shadyness" of any sort and never would!
