After a (very) brief search I didn't find anything on this subject so...
I don't know how many other people have shared my (mild) frustration with searching the "For Sale", or "Wanted" sections only to find after clicking it that it's a post from the 1800s and is no longer valid, or the parts have been sold.
It would be nice to have some visual indicator as to the age of a post and/or if an item has been sold. I realize the latter is a bit tricky and would rely on the seller to follow up, but that's kinda like expecting someone to take down all those campaign signs right after an election!:D But perhaps there is a way to have an ad indicated that it's say: Just posted (1 day old), new (less than a week), old (2 weeks), and since we don't delete, archived (over a month old). Of course the time tables could be changed, but I think they are pretty close to what people would agree with. Another thing that might help is a way to sort posts by the date they were posted, but I don't know if that would be easier or not, if it's easier, that would be almost as helpful as the visual indicator. BTW, this sorting by posted date would be great in the regular forums as well, IMHO.
What say you?
