why do sellers change asking price to sold after a sale?

i'm interested in most cards since my collection spans over 100 years. i also miss a ton of sales/auctions/etc since i'm generally busy with work/family/athletics/etc. so it's data that would interest me. but whatever people choose to do with their listings, they do. was just curious why people did that SOLD thing.

Because there is no rule against it here, sellers can do what they want and it doesn’t phase me. However, I’d be most interested in having the price info remain for non-card memorabilia. It’s cool to get an idea of the value of items that don’t come up for sale as regularly as cards.

People really do like to complain about stuff that doesn’t matter.

Erasing the original price is respectful to the purchaser who may want to resell it here or elsewhere. Leaving the initial asking price may be misleading "data" since many purchased items sell for less than asking. I always erase the asking price and feel it is the right thing to do.

As a country we have turned outrage into a form of high art.
