Autograph dealers who deal in one of a kind items usually remove or archive
the items once they are sold.

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Question for dealers re: displaying sold items
One reason is that a lot of the dealers who run a use a website to sell the
meteorites, do not run and/or edit the website themselves. and do not have
it set so that once one is sold it is removed. Also "all other markets" do
not sell one of a kind items like meteorites, when something is sold, there
is usually more in stock so they do not need to edit their website each time
they make a sale.. Just my 2 cents... I may be way off and it is that we are
just too lazy.....
Best Wishes,

It's also kinda nice to have up
pictures of past sold specimens. You
put a lot of time and effort into photography and web
design, seems a
waste to delete things!
