honestly, unless you have reading problems or it's hard for you to move your finger a little to click through a thread, there shouldn't be anything difficult about clicking a link and reading that something is sold.
i'd be more inclined to agree with you for threads where people that don't mark their items as sold.
Being able to lock a thread is a bonus that you won't find on many other forums, so it's possible that people don't know about the feature, either. i mean...c'mon...it's really hard to read the sticky threads at the top of the classified forums.
