Why Sellers Forget To Update Ads, Sold/ Pending

How does one go about eliminating an offer to sell when the item is sold? There is no record on My Page nor can I figure out how to edit the ad.

Thanks,

Damon

I guess I've been pretty lucky. if I 've inquired about an item that doesn't say "sold or sale pending", the seller has pleasantly emailed back saying that they"re just waiting on money from an accepted offer and they will let me know if the deal falls through. So far, all the sellers have kept their email promises. Also when sellers have multiple items, I've seen people update each item listed or like me (guilty) only put "sold" after every item is purchased. Sorry if it causes you consternation.

Interesting post, but a little history seems relevant. Some of you may remember the "good ole days" of AudioMart and more recently, the RAM usergroup. I used these earlier methods for years to buy and sell. IMO, using Audiogon, even with the occasional annoyance,is a VAST improvement.

I think we have all experienced the same frustrations and I am at a loss for an explanation. For the most part, this site is a wonderful forum for those of us who love this avocation and the overwhelming number of positive experiences outnumber the negative but it is surprising when feedback or responses are not forthcoming. I can only assume that some users do not share my enthusiasm for this forum and therefore take it for granted that once the transaction takes place, their responsibility to acknowledge the transaction has ended. This is unfortunate because such a forum is invaluable to true devotees and participation may suffer because of such lapses in common courtesy. Just my two cents.

Thanks to all who responded to this.
Thought that this thread might be interesting.

"I don't think it tells the buyer you don't trust him. It simply just allows the seller to have continued, possible interest until the money is in the bank".
I think this is a valid point.
