Please read before posting replies to parts for sale adds
If you search way back (pages) and see something that you like, look at the date it was posted near the title of the post. If it was posted say 4 years ago maybe PM the OP , instead of replying which brings that old thread back up to the new posts section confusing others that it is a new ad and then they get there hopes up and jump into a dead end.

I think all posts should include the original date on the post title listing page. I know I have replied to posts then seeing it is old. Maybe this would reduce it.
Yea, I know once I'm on the post it is there and I should look closer, but it happens a lot.

Me too
When I see it in the new posts I don't check the date either. I just assume it's fresh because I have just clicked on the new post button. Original date is a good idea but I don't know how hard it is to make that change.

Ummm no..., there are too many to keep track of. People need to note that its sold to prevent people 6 years later to inquire if its still available.

I'll make a comment, this is only my opinion.
Like many of you I'm a member of many sites. For the most part, they (these) sites frown upon posting in old threads. They are for the most part more heavily moderated.
This site is not heavily moderated weather you believe it, or not. Its usually done for other reasons.
They (these other sites) would rather have you post a new thread, even if it has been hashed out. This is how they build their own search data base. Sometimes its the software too, that doesn't allow mobile users from seeing the same data as a desktop user.This also makes it "appear" larger to google, when searching if you do it correctly.
At his point I only see the original posters themselves to be able to tell us the part is or isn't still available or is either sold or not sold, until other moderation is considered.
