Let's see if this one posts. Another post I sent at least 4 hours ago hasn't 
come up yet...

As a collector, I've been really frustrated by how wide spread the lack of 
interest in maintaining one's website actually is. As you point our often 
the sites are filled with items already sold. I know of at least one dealer 
who has told me that for the most part given up on updating his site.

Personally, when I am looking for a specimen to buy, I couldn't care less 
what a dealer used to have for sale. It does me no good. If a dealer has an 
archive section for these, or put sold items at the bottom of the page, 
that's fine. For me, there isn't much worse than opening a page and seeing a 
sea of items that have already been "SOLD". This often stops me from looking 
for much more.

It has gotten to the point that I'll almost never go to dealer websites 
unless they post a link to fresh stock I am interested here or on Facebook.
