A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

The listings used to say how long an item had been listed for, and also showed when an item was sold. This was helpful when trying to price things to sell or get a fair estimate on what to offer potential buyers on CL or Marketplace. Why did they take this away, and is there anyway to see this info any longer?

The info is still available, if you scroll down in a listing and click the downward facing arrow to the right of "Product Specs" it tells you how long ago the item was posted. I don't believe exact "sold" dates are available, but sorting by "most recent first" will bring up the most recently sold listings and you can gather from there approximately when they sold.

I still cant see what you are talking about.

They made the data harder to view, it also doesn't seem to show for new items. You have to click the "product specs" dropdown.
Here's a link to a picture of a rare guitar Driftwood Music in St Charles has been trying to sell for 3 years that demonstrates what I mean.

I think I misunderstood part of your question as I was still waking up.

you can sort the "sold" listings by date (newest first) and under the "specifications" (for some reason) of the listing it will show the listing age. i mean, you still can't tell when it sold, but... a lot better than having no idea, especially for rare things.

Trogly has a vid discussing this. Info is still there, you just got to hunt for it.
