Certainly agree with the principle, but what do you do when you've marked an item as sold and people still drop you messages weeks later asking if it's available, or will you take a random amount etc?
I try to mark my items as SOLD as soon as money has changed hands, but still get people asking about them a long time after. I don't delete the content, but like to change the price in the add to SOLD as well in an attempt to avoid non relevant messages.
I can see why people delete the whole thing, since no-one will drop you a message once sold that way.
There is only so many times you can respond saying sold as marked. To me not responding is rude, so still do but hopefully you see my point...
Maybe if we want the adds to remain as they where for reference, then as soon as an item is marked as SOLD, the contact seller option should be removed? That way hopefully both purposes are served.
