currency of sale list in files July 17, 2003, 04:21:11 am Yahoo Message Number: 24627Are units listed for sale in the files section deleted when sold? (assuming that the lister tells you?) Given there are several listed, but knowing that typically LD's sell within a short time, I am trying to figure out if there is any point pursuing any of these (especially the ones listed in the spring.) Thanks for any guidance!

I'm thinking that since these rigs typically sell within days or weeks, we could safely delete any listings over six months old. What do you think?Andy Baird :-)

Same would apply to those looking, though - if an ad is old, either the unit is no longer available, or is likely in bad shape, overpriced, etc.Steve

What do you think? Why not make it 3 months. If the seller still has it for sale, he/she will probably contact the site again.Sue
