Modernsoulsucks Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I've updated the Sales guidelines today to draw attention to the habit on the part of some posters to remove all information from ads once a 45 has been sold in Sales or a 45 obtained via Wants. From now on please leave the ads untouched other than to edit them to say "SOLD" or "SORTED" or whatever. For example as Benji has done here The ads build up into a reference for other members to consult as to prices etc in the same way as John's or Tim's guides.

Modernsoulsucks Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 It was you who drew my attention to it Mark so thank you. I had noticed in the past and had PM'd some individuals asking them not to do it but better to have it laid down. I didn't think it happened too often but an "empty" ad is a waste of space on here.

Premium Stuff Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Well done Rod. Good idea. Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 It is ok someone saying it isn't in the guidelines but the site, including sales is all about information. What is the point in deleting it? What a record has sold for, cash, is probably one of the best points of reference for anyone interested in buying, selling and collecting rare soul. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 To add to what Chalky says, when someone chooses to do set sales on here - publicly as it were - it seems strange to then remove the price when the item is sold because the sale price was advertised beforehand anyway. 'Offers' is another thing, but set sales are advertised transparently on here, so it makes sense that they remain so. Why should open public sales on Soul-Source be different to any other kind of open set sale on a website, sales list, email list etc.?

KevH Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Like the move. But of course the offered price may not be the one paid.I suspect deleting the set price after sale is because a deal has been struck. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 It should be left Kev irrespective whether deal done or not. It would at least be a guide price for someone doing a search. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
