Yeah I know most groups still require delete versus clicking mark sold. Which I don't fully understand, because I believe when you click Mark sold it gets marked sold in all the groups you copied it to. Then the post gets a gray look and gets removed from the main thread. So why still require a delete vs clicking mark sold?
This is one of the main reasons I mainly use the Marketplace. That and the stupid rules the group owners have. Bumping rules, posting muplitple items in the same category together, no post links, max post per day, the best is the group owners that insist on approving all post. By the time they approve them it is already sold or given away.
