I emailed TOTV about the many stale listings but, they didn't reply back. I even messaged a couple of those sellers suggesting they remove their ad if the property is no longer available. But, their ads are still live.

Shaking my head...there has to be a better way. Maybe all ads should expire in 30 days - then it's up to the lister to repost them. Also, a pet peeve, almost ZERO of the Classified listings have the DATE of POSTING included in them. What are people thinking? Frankly, TOTV should require a posting date which is very helpful to those searching.
When I posted add on TOTV it expired in I think 45 days, automatically dropped off. I think if I remember I could only update the with sold. But that was years ago?
