Once the item is traded, SPF or sold or even withdrawn the need to

1.Properly update to status of item
2.Leave the add as it was before add was updated
including the asking price or whatever price there
3.Re-update the post when transaction is complete wether shipped
or sold and the transaction finally took place.

I think this is used on other sites to allow for an idea of fair market price.

So you want everyone on the forum to know that you sold me that US made SA 1911 for $175 and a beat up Jennings in trade ?

Fair Market price is what someone is willing to pay or what a seller is willing to take on an item. This can vary on any given day.

What the above will do is drive up prices and make sellers think their fair condition items are worth what a mint condition like item sold for.
