Need a way to mark the thread when somethings sells. What do you guys think?
Ideal for the wanted/sales

Are you talking about changing the title of the thread after an item sells.
Like this for example
Tim Scruggs cue for sale
Tim Scurggs cue SOLD
Most people just edit the original post and add SOLD where the price was.
I think once its sold, thread should be deleted.
no i mean in the column next to the title where you can add icons make a sold one and allow the op to add it after the sale. I like being able to look at old f/s threads just hate getting all excited over something only to click and find it gone.
I also like being able to see what has moved around and who may have it, so you can still try and buy it from the new owner.

Ehhh... Closed threads are still available for viewing. You just can't post to them anymore.
I do too, but it does get cluttered and it would definitely help clean up the FS section if all the closed threads get removed in a few days of closing.
And I'm not too sure if everyone would be agreeable to know who bought what cues~ especially for those high end, rare cues. That's from a safety standpoint I guess~

A sold icon is a pretty good idea but a lot of times people post multipe cues, cases, etc in one thread which if they chose to use the sold icon it would create a lot more threads.
no it would still work leave the sold icon off until all the cues are sold if it is active thread its not a pita.
good point about new owners
please explain
Probably the fact that someone with 31 posts in 8 months and one purchase transaction would have such a great idea as to what it would take for this forum to operate properly.
Like stated earlier, just replace the price with "SOLD" and don't do stupid post-sales bumps. The threads will die naturally that way.
Plus, there is the ongoing issue of bumps and threads in the "wanted/For Sale" forum that actually have nothing "for sale".......
JMO,

It does kind of get a little annoying when your on the first page see something posted for sale and you click on it and its already sold, close out and go to second page see something posted open it up sold. It would just be a good feature and i think that is what lead is referring to. Im a computer geek myself and former old school web designer and i constantly think when im on sites this would be a great feature to incorporate into the site, this would make it more user friendly or easier to navigate.
I understand what you are saying, but I always get somewhat put off by folks constantly telling the moderators/AZB crew what they could do to make their site better. I think those issues should be done via email to the housepro/moderator email addresses, personally.
I am sure there are tons of things that could be "done" to improve the site, in some folks opinion, but each of them takes time, work, etc to put into place.
If we would all (myself included) simply do the things we should (don't bump old threads, mark items as sold, put a price on a sales thread, keep items in their proper forum) then the forum would be just fine...in fact, I think it is pretty darned smooth operating as is.
Maybe it is just the 40"+ inches of snow since the weekend............

Wow, Joe your going to be trapped until spring time... Ive only got about 3" of snow so far but couple more expected tonight.
Personally, I find value in the SOLD items. I really wish people would not post SOLD over where the price was. Seeing what things sold for, gives future sellers an idea of the value of an item.
e.g; If I had an older Meucci (just for example) cue for sale, it would be nice to see what other Meucci's have sold for so that I might properly price my cue.
On the other hand, it would be wonderful to have an indication on the main forum, indicating which items have been sold, so that if i were looking for a Meucci cue, I would not have to wade thru all of those that were no longer available.
IMHO .... of course.

Your right Joe we all just need to do those little things on our own to keep things running smooth.
There is also one bigger thing that we can do to help AZB run smooth.
All that can should help :help: by becoming a
Joe already nailed it:
1. You haven't been active enough in the FS section to really appreciate the intricacies of what works well for most Buyers and Sellers, and
2. You have an idea of how to allegedly improve (sic) the site, yet by posting this HERE in the FS section, you violated one of the most basic RULES of the forum.
WHAT'S FOR SALE???
Nothing. So you just became part of the problem, not a solution.
capiche?
