For Sale Threads - Unlimited edit?
I don't know if this is possible, but could we have no time limit on editing threads in the For Sale section? Purely so we can add if an item has been sold etc.
Just a thought?
Thanks.

Thanks.
And one with a good argument to recommend it. As it stands, the Mods can and do add the prefix [SOLD] as and when we see items go, but whether your suggestion is a good one may depend on whether different permissions can be implemented in one section only.
I shall put it forward for discussion.

I don't really think it's necessary. When people sell an item all they have to do is put sold in the thread and thena mod will change it and move the thread to sold items.
Even if we give people the ability to edit posts, they wouldn't be able to edit the thread or move the thread either.

Even if it's possible, it's not something I would want to see.
We keep the thread even after an item is sold (moved to the 'Sold section) so that there is a record for both the seller an buyer of what was offered / purchased, and any information given.
If permanent editing was allowed, it would open a crack in the system in that an unscrupulous seller could alter the description (eg add the words "not working" or anything else), or the buyer could alter their offer so that it appeared a lower offer was accepted. I know that these are extreme circumstances, and it is highly unlikely that anyone on here would do such a thing, but the point is, there would be no way of proving what was amended, and so could lead to more misunderstandings / disagreements, etc.
For everyone's protection, it's better left with the system we currently have.

I meant in particular when selling multiple items so one could add what has sold/what is still available without having to add new posts, would just look cleaner.
