    Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

      Our sale section is one of the sources I use to set value when selling. I'd prefer folks left the price up.

        You'd be surprised. I used to leave prices on after a sale because it's helpful to refer to other ads to gauge a price for something.

        I received an PM 2 years after a sale once. 2 freaking years.

        I now edit all my prices out.

          Agreed on leaving the price. Simply add SOLD in thread title or body and/or next to the price.

          Helps everyone. Annoyed when everything gets deleted.

I never care what someone else sold something for because it has absolutely no bearing on what I am selling a item for. For example I had a offer and I sold a Saiga 12 for $950 a while back. Forward 3-4 months and the same s12 was commanding maybe 600-650. So the sale of my S12 for 950 does not make every S12 for sale worth that. I personally thought the guy was crazy for offering that amount and buying it for the price
            guess what? posts have dates

            amazing!

              My humble apologies. That is truly a 10% post.

                Well, it's not your fault someone else lacked reading comprehension.
                Sold means sold, simple as that.

                  I used to erase the price. But after doing many searches and going through many threads with no prices, I decided to leave mine up, but with very clear notices that the gun/item is SOLD SOLD SOLD!
