Why do folks delete the $sold price in their listings?

As stated above. It becomes a hassle when you receive availability messages. The other thing is that it is a different type of market here and not always indicative of the actual market. When I want to sell my stuff I typically price it to sell.

I understand wanting the reference point. I keep a mental note of items I am interested in get listed for. Most folks who do a lot of buying/selling here are not out to turn a major profit from my experience. Fair and honest transactions are the norm.

Hahaha - (I got a big kick out of your response). So right - maybe they are afraid the IRS is monitoring the Paceline.

Not tomorrow, but Camelcamelcamel will tell you what is has been in the past

If you really care that much, just go to the waybackmachine.org

This! I always post my stuff here first and at a lower cost then I would post else where. Also 9 times out of 10 sells even cheaper via PM. The way I see it. When I sell something it is because I am picking something else up. If that item is a really good deal I sell off something also at a really good deal. To me when I sell an item its not so much about the item but getting the cash for the item I am picking up so I don't loose out.

Example. I can grab a Argonaut RM3 for $2000. = Colnago C64 I would sell for $2000.

We are all friends here, at least I like to think so. If I am helping someone get something they want/need and so am I... Win Win!

Most of the time with purchasing here, money just gets passed around from person to person for goods. Adam buys a set of wheels from me for $500 2 months down the road I buy a groupset from him for $500. See what I mean...

So to repeat.
