Some only buy to resell. I have sold cards on here and then see them relisted on here as soon as the new owner gets them at WAY higher than my sale price.

I've sold things here and have seen them on ebay next day three times as much...lol. I just try not to need to sell at all...

It's funny though...I just sold something here yesterday and did replace the price with SOLD. I only did that because it seems everyone does it...I totally did the "sheep" thing and did as the others do. Couldn't care less leaving a price out there...so totally just followed the perceived flow...

I replace the price with $SOLD because

1) It tends to stop people from trying to buy it after it's already been sold. Some folks seem to look at the image, scan for a price, and reach out without really reading the text, a postscript, or even the thread title.

2) The price is misleading because it usually is OBO, and thus leaving a price that has nothing to do with the final offer would only mislead those looking for a "sale" figure on something.
