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?

Maybe adding "sale pending" isn't as soothing as a fresh clean ad is to some sellers but isn't it the right thing to do. Potential buyers read through these ads ready to spend their money and they don't want to waste their time and hope on something which is no longer available. If I see an ad which I am interested in and it is labeled "sale pending" I will continue to watch that ad. If I respond to an ad which is pending and not labeled "sale pending" it raises a flag for me to beware of this seller. Just something that grates on me.
Thanks to all who responded to my rant. I have to admit this is the best site on the web for buying audio gear, thanks to all the sellers out there.
