Three days would drastically reduce clutter, and still allow a reasonable time span to make payment arrangements.

Thanks for taking the time to do that. I know that sort of thing is monotonous and time consuming.

I understand the bother of sold ads between the open ones (though we should be happy that here at least we can see in the category lists they're sold, unlike for example on B&B, were there are no categories and you have to open each ad and sometimes read all the way down several replies to discover the item is sold.)

But what I really wanted to say is that I think it's a pity the ads aren't at all archived. If that is possible, I would very much like to keep all of them in some archive as it used to be. They really provide a wealth of information. Descriptions are often elaborate and accurate and there are detailed pictures with every item. They give good insight in fair going rates and price trends (thus an important source for those who lack experience as pricing discussions in the forum is not done).

Googling for pics and info on a specific type of hone or a particular razor model, very often I get links to SRP ads, mostly to find that to my regret they've already been deleted.

When looking at earlier ads from this month it says:

You do not have permission for this action!

Is it because I'm a n00b? The item is still for sale. This has happened several times. I thought it was a glitch. I just thought I'd mention.

Thanks :beer:

I tried leaving 2 positive feedbacks is this not possible?

It just modified one feedback after another. I'm only guessing I'd have to wait another day in order to provide another.

No matter I just included both items :beer:

Thank you
