Whenever I see these deleted posts I just think the item was sketchy (i.e. someone is getting ripped off or has prvsly got ripped off).....otherwise why bury the evidence

That’s a weird way to look at it. Perhaps he didn’t want a bunch of replies on a thread that was dead? There are a bunch of listings that have done the same thing, yet you’re proposing somehow it’s shady?

It was a ESP Stef-7 and it sold right away. People delete these threads all the time so no need to accuse someone of being sketchy or "burying evidence"

I delete my adds when sold immediately out of respect for my buyer. If very few know what I sold, my buyer can relist it right away, if he chooses, without the preconception it must suck because he sold it so fast.

Nah. Not at all. Sale was legit and buyer was happy with what was being sold and the price it was being sold for. Nothing sketchy or me trying to rip someone off. I was happy to fulfill someone’s dream of having a guitar he’s wanted for a very long time. Not burying evidence or trying to rip people off like you accuse me of doing. So I deleted a post. So what and who cares. What’s it too you? Nothing, so mind your own business and know the facts first before you accuse someone of something based solely on “assumption”.

Usually updating the title to SOLD or replying to a thread w/ a SOLD message does the trick.
Are you telling me in your experience ppl responding to dead FS threads is a thing that justifies the whitewashing? That OPs just cannot resist to respond to dumb buyers that can't read?

When a seller with under 20 posts has a sale close in under a few hours for a high end guitar, the thread is whitewashed completely of ALL content, including descriptions, history, pics, etc. you're damn right that pops up a red flag for me.
I sometimes delete prices too for the buyers sake like Glip said, but leave the rest in tact.
Too much shady shit happens on these forums for folks to be OK with this....when something goes bad what do we always go back to? The original thread....buyer said the description and pics he saw showed a flawless guitar, guitar shows up dinged to hell, then what? Evidence now gone, he said-she said, buyer fucked.
So in summary, all y'all that completely whitewash threads are shady until proven otherwise (and many of you have proven otherwise so I'm not directing this to you of course.

Well just because I have less than 20 posts on this forum means nothing. I may not be as active as you on this page and post something every 10 mins. And I ain’t whitewashing threads. You have no idea or any clue the kind of communication Ive had with the buyer to make sure everthing is legit with the sale. It’s just too bad that shady stuff happens in forums. I take precaution in these forums just like yourself in dealing with sales like this, not just here but everywhere. Yes there are a lot of shady and bad experiences but that’s the reality unfortunately. I’ve posted this same exact sale at other forums and marketplaces to reach out to more people that show interest in what I’m selling. If I choose to take the listing down once it sold, then so be it. It’s my listing, my gear, my money, and my investment. I don’t have to answer to anyone other than the person that is involved and interested in what I’m selling or buying.

I don't know you, I'm not asking you to answer to me, I frankly don't give a flying fuck about you, and I didn't call you a scammer.
I'm just saying that the general practice of whitewashing a FS thread is sketchy, and double-sketchy when someone new to the forum does it.
And let's not act like all naive like this strategy hasn't been used before to hide lemons, egregious flips, or worse.

Ahhh. Here we go. Not going into battles. Not new to the forum. Been a member for quite sometime actually. But your right. No one gives a flying fuck about me or you for that matter. Apparently you do give a flying fuck cuz now your putting words in my mouth that I’m not saying. Thinking it’s a strategy of mine to hide lemons and what not. Good job bud. Looks like your the naive one who probably got duped out of a few sales. Didn’t want this thread to go this way. Just wanted to sell something that someone else may put to good use rather than me. But whatever. I don’t care. Seller and buyer are happy. That’s all that matters. Bye.

I have a diff slant...

I appreciate when people leave the original post intact as it can give some more data points as to how much to buy or sell something for... So I kinda do give a fuck, thought this was a community.... not that you give a fuck
