For Sale Ads now Close 30 days after last posting.

In the beginning Joey asked, "Should I do this?"
My answer is "No".

Not exactly what I asked....

I am contemplating limiting the total amount of time for an ad to 30 days from the start. (instead of from the last post) Should I do this?


And in the end...his/her ad will still be at the top of the list and the "old ad" will also remain in the "closed" status. So the number of times that the same (similar) ad will appear will multiply over time.

Also not exactly. Although that's why I was contemplating having them close 30 days from when they were made.
This is an example of why I made this change: [SOLD] - 67-76 v8 drop centerlink

That thread was started April 13, 2015 -- It was apparently sold somewhere near that time. A few weeks ago, a new member found the ad and dragged it back up to the top. One of our mods had to go in and mark it sold. This change prevents that.

Personally, I think if something doesn't sell within a month -- then maybe the member needs to rewrite the ad. Maybe add some more photos, change the price, whatever to make it more sellable.
