why do sellers change asking price to sold after a sale?

[notfast]

I am often speaking from my own high horse but I think saying this act is “classless” is a new lever of high horseness that boggles my mind.

Also as I just learned by my misspelling edit….you can actually see what the original post was.

So changing a price to sold doesn’t actually hide anything if you’re a member of this forum.

you can see what other people's original post was before editing? i assumed that only you yourself can see that.

No, you can't. You are right and nofast is wrong. That's the whole point of being able to edit. The only way you could see what was there before is if someone quoted the original.

Hey, point of order. You quoted the wrong guy. NotFast is the one making the erroneous claim, HockeyHockey was just reacting and asking about said claim.


ETA: smiley face.

I thought that was clear but I will clarify.

Oh may bad. I guess it is specific to your own edit. I know on Facebook you can see whatever anyone changes.

Go to your local car dealer and tell him you want all the details of transactions with your neighbors. Would be a humorous discussion.

I’ve never bought or sold over the BST here, so I really don’t have a dog in this fight. And for that matter, the stuff that I buy usually doesn’t transact around here anyway, so the sales price data isn’t meaningful to me either.

But the contrarian part of me now desperately wants to sell something and then brazenly delete the price just because of the painfully odious response it seems to provoke.

Which way does that cut? If that's the case, why are buyers requesting the price be deleted since it won't do them any good?

I’ve never had anyone request it. My reasons were different. Whether a T206 common sold for $75, $80 or $85 I really can’t see why anyone not in the deal cares, and I really don’t see why some people are clearly upset about it and using rather extreme verbiage.
