Why doesn't Audiogon have some guidelines?


Many times I have answered ads which I was interested in only to be told the item was sold. After waiting and rechecking the ad I'd find no indication of item being sold or sale pending.
Why doesn't Audiogon have some guidelines for the posting of ads?

One problem with deleting ads vs. posting a SOLD status is that it messes up the Audiogon pricing history stat's. They use the "sold status" with the "price info." to update their DBase with every sale that happens here. If we want current & vaild pricing data from this service (& if not then why even have the feature available?) then the only way it will happen is to work with the system.
Personally I don't mind "sold" or "sale pendings" at all. I've even contacted a seller with a "sale pending" asking to be notified if the sale fell thru; it did & I was able to purchase after all. Nice.
