I know it can be done within 1 hour and that they get deleted after a month anyway, but if you've sold your item, its pointless being left in the fs forum for any longer.

Maybe contacting one of the moderators through a PM which shows a link to your ad would be the best way.

My 2 cents -- I joined to get all the info I could on LF -- My daughter and I are thinking of diving into this format - (she is already an experienced , published photographer in the digital world) but I'm just a hobbyist. My knowledge search was to include prices of what LF items cost and what is available. I was a little disappointed to see I could not access the stuff for sale but I can read and learn for 30 days before seeing what is for sale . I can already see there is a wealth of info from expirienced LF photographers and I have a lot to learn !! Thanks to all who make this information available.

I though that was the rule when I signed up nearly a year ago. What's the big change I'm not seeing?

There is no big change. This is a two year old thread.

Three other good sources:

Completed auctions for specific items on eBay. Registered users can access completed auctions going back thirty days.

KEH.com, a large vendor of used photographic equipment. Search for an item of interest and see what they are asking often at several levels of condition.

APUG.org has a classified section that is searchable.

Or be patient for thirty day reading informative posts. LF is a contemplative sport.
