Market Feedback Opinion on removing the price once an item is sold

[Simar]

I've seen a couple of threads where items are sold quickly and the OP/post is edited to replace the quoted price with a "sold" text. I'm not sure if there's any rule in this regard, so I wanted to understand how you guys see this.

personally i dont care about the removal if everything goes smooth

but it will become a problem if any disputes occur

Everyone seems to be on the same page, and I'm glad that's the case since I share the same opinion. However, does anyone have any counterpoints?

I checked previous threads about this topic and found one where the person in support of deleting prices said they did so because they didn't want their price to become the benchmark.

I'm conflicted about that. My main reason for not deleting prices is to establish transparency (in case of disputes) and have some price benchmark for future sales. However, this benchmark can be problematic if there aren't other reference points and the seller is either:

• Clueless about prices, so prices it very low
• Is very generous and lets it go for a low price
• Is selling it due to an urgency, like a requirement for funds, moving out, etc.

However, I feel that these are edge cases, and the default behaviour should be retaining price information after a sale. Any thoughts that counter this?
