i've already lost data on a purchase of an item I have not yet recieved, and not having the thread doesn't help any

plus the archives are useful sometimes, or a lot of times, in my opinion. oh well

The prune on the FS+WTB forum is 30 days. Plenty of time for a transaction to complete.

They are useful for trying to figure out how much you can get for or how much you should pay for an item, I think.

more than 30 days

same thing over boards especially if you use other means of transport.
It may be 2-4 months before you actually see the product.

Maybe I'm just weird, but whenever I've done a big ticket transaction online, I get the information from the person directly: Email addy, home addy, phone #, etc. I get it and have it all in hard copy on my own machine, I don't rely on a messageboard to store it for me.

I agree. We all hate the "make an offer" for sale posts, but the truth is most of us have no idea what things go for.
