Whether someone looks or not is not the point. It is still being reshuffled through the mix just to show something that is of no use to anyone who is looking. Do it any way you want but to me, it is so much easier to click a button that says "mark as gone" than clicking the box to edit the title, then clicking the box to edit the ad, then responding to your own ad with SPM. It's easier and makes more sense to me. I generally like to take someone at their word so if they tell me we have a deal, as far as I am concerned the item is sold so I mark it as gone. No longer available. On the rare case that someone backs out on me it is so simple to go to the list of items "marked as gone" and click on "reopen listing" and it goes right back into the mix where it was before. Not trying to be argumentative here, just saying that the system was set up that way because it works very well but it doesn't work if people refuse to use it.
