If anyone searches google for the bikes which I have which I have bought on the forum then the post where I bought them comes up. That is fine because I ask the sellers to edit out the prices which they do.

That doesn't seem very honourable or straightforward, frankly.

I ask the sellers to edit out the prices

Why?

I'm hoping you can help. I buy quite a few bikes off the forum restore them and then sell on my own site. If anyone searches google for the bikes which I have which I have bought on the forum then the post where I bought them comes up. That is fine because I ask the sellers to edit out the prices which they do. One of the guys who has sold me a bike closed the thread when he sold it to me and before he had removed the price so now he can't edit the prices out.. Is there any way around this?

I'm not going to help you.

salmonchild has it summed up perfectly, and I am far more on the side of the buyers knowing not just where the bike came from but the price too. It is up to the buyer to then decide whether the price that you are selling at offers a fair premium (for whatever value you add) over them scouring classifieds too.

Just as a word of warning, I'm still planning to find time to add the classifieds type to the system. When this happens, I don't see any reason why the price something sold at wouldn't be shown and sellers won't be able to hide or edit that information after the event.
