It's probably been a while since I posted an explicit reminder to the group, but when replying to FS/FT/WTB/WTT/etc. posts, you should contact the poster directly. That prevents accidental sharing of personal information to the group at large. This is a publicly searchable/viewable group, so if someone posts a phone number, address and says something like "but we're going to be out of town for the next two days", there are bad people who might take advantage of that. I know you wouldn't do that, but I'd hate to tell you how many moderated posts contain information which I'd regard as too personal for public consumption.
If you contact the poster directly, that also spares everyone else the process of having to ignore that thread. Some folks still do track this group through email.

I'm thinking people should indicate when something is sold. Editing the post subject would be good. Kinda like leaving your campsite a bit cleaner than how you found it.
If they could delete the thread, even better.
Just a little reminder/housekeeping on this fine and beautiful day.
