I like things cleaner so I can see what the ad is about. It helps me understand it from the multitude of things I have for sale. If it is there is something I need to deal with regardless of being "sold" or not. I don't work the same way you are referring that I need to.
It was to help everyone else. It is definitely detrimental to the hobby when data of that type is straight up deleted.
There are any number of ways to format the sale post to separate sold items from the active items.
I didn't mean to imply that you should change your way of working.
