Mod has to do it.

But honestly, just edit the OP in your old thread to mark the sold items as sold and pull the unsold item and then just let it fall off the bottom. No real reason to close/delete it...

I'll get it for ya.

I moved it over to 'completed deals' if ya need to see it again.

I thought there was a close this thread check box that was available to the OP?

I don't see it on my screen.

Most folks just say in the reply section when they want it closed or if the item has been sold.
Monitors go in & out of S&S pretty often, and when we see a ad. like that, we'll send it
over to 'completed deals' to help keep the section trim and tidy so it's easier & faster for everybody to read through.
If there is a lot of traffic, and a ad. saying 'sold pending funds' or 'SPF' might get moved over there also.

Try the "advanced" screen, I checked after posting, it's kinda buried. Thought it was easier to find.

I know I've used it in the past.

Good thinking.
I've only bought or sold a very few things there, and never noticed it.

Yep click on edit then go advanced. You can edit the title as well as the body of the message.

If you reply to the sale thread, at the bottom BEFORE you hit submit you will see the close thread option if you are the author.
