Following several comments on my status update/rant, could I suggest the following be adhered to once an item is sold on BC:
1. As soon as is practicable, edit the title to include SOLD so that potential buyers do not waste their time browsing through the thread and mods know when to lock the thread - it will also save the seller having to answer pointless PMs asking if the item is sold.
2. Sold items are a valuable source of pricing information and specifications for potential sellers
