I don’t agree. I think it’s a thoughtful move to give other board members a heads up not to waste time on it because it’s been sold. I’ve had people message me years after something was listed inquiring if it still available. I think it’s the right think to post — once — SOLD.

Well, people can (and should) just edit their post to include "Sold" in the title and body, just edit the existing listing. Making a new comment that bumps the post up is not necessary and dumb.

I see your point, but if something is going to sell it will sell.

More annoying are the posts tapping same item for 37th time and threatening, again, that said item is about to be consigned to an AH.

Not going back into the drawer this time?

My personal favorite: “I can’t believe I still have this…”
