Is this still available?

Hey, love you guys BUT SPF is not sold, if you are gold or silver change the friggin' title to "SOLD" when the funds arrive and if you're not and you sell it delete the thread! OR just go into the title and delete what you are selling with "SOLD" would help so much. Okay, "I know you have SPF but did you ever get paid? and is this still available?"

After considerable thought, I've given up searching my weary brain for the answer to why people with minimal or zero counts for Messages, Reaction Score, or Feedback will post "Is this still for sale" and then go silent after the OP responds in the positive. I've seen this numerous times on ads, even those that clearly indicate the item was sold months or years before. It's happened often enough on my own threads that I no longer respond unless I get a 2nd query. Admittedly I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer (happy to accept counter opinions) so maybe one of you can school me on the reason for this all too common occurrence. It's just a puzzlement because I don't see this being posted by long standing members with frequent activity.

there are some who search through past adds hoping to find unsold items they want and since its unsold they think there is a good chance they will be able to beat the seller down some in price

I think you can go into the notification settings to get them. I used to get emails all the time from the forum until I changed it. I’ll go look.......

Yup! It’s in the “preferences” section of your profile page. I’m no computer whiz but I think that what it means.

Thank You joshb, I never looked there.

It reminds me of the movie “Joe Dirt” where the guy is constantly carrying around a copy of the auto trader and picking apart adds and never buys a thing, a career tire kicker. What gets me even more is when a guy asks “would you take X dollars for the doohickey?” Then turns into cricket chirps when I accept the offer. Why make an offer unless you want it? Change your mind? No problem, just say so or even make up some crappy excuse, im not going to fact check you, i just want to know how to proceed.
