Thread is SPF and already locked?

[RivanSig1911]

Hello,
My recent thread is currently SPF and I was surprised to see it locked already. I intend to update it once transaction is complete. Did I do something wrong? Thank you.

You may have bumped your thread by posting in it SPF instead of just editing your main post. Too many people are bumping their threads to the top after it’s sold.

I didn’t bump it. I just edited my original post. The last post of my thread was the potential buyer saying he’ll take it.

It looks like a lot of your threads got merged. Your SPF thread just got caught up in the cleaning

Maybe site wants to preserve original content.

Ok. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t do anything wrong lol

WTS ads that are marked as "SPF" or "Sold Pending Funds" or something along those lines are treated the same as if the ad is marked as "sold".

This is due to past instances in which sellers were marking ads as "SPF" as a means to auction the item and continue to get bids on it ("back up offers").

Because ads marked "SPF" continue to be abused in this manner, they are treated the same as if they are marked as "sold".
Which means, the ad gets closed and cleaned up.

If for whatever reason the transaction does not get completed, then create a new ad for that item with a current price and not a "SPF" price.
