I noticed that recently any thread where the deal appears to be done gets "Closed".
I'm not sure I agree with this tactic.
I can count numerous occasions where the deal appeared to be done but nothing more came of it. Shoot if it weren't for some of those I wouldn't have bought certain items. Plus I like to know the history if there is a history. Believe me, I'm not the only one that pays attention to what sellers are slow to ship, or slow to do anything. As well as who is slow paying or backs out of deals.
One example that if I hadn't bumped it it would have been forgotten, was I was purchasing an item from NitroFC, I thought the deal was done, but he never replied to PM's and never rechecked the thread. I chocked it up to well it must have gone somewhere else. 2 months later, NitroFC checked his original thread, and saw that there I was trying to buy the thing. So we finally got the deal done. Under the current "Close" threads, that would have never happened.
What is the reasoning behind closing the threads? Why not let the ones that have transacted expire the the back pages and eventually to the depths of the HAMB?
