The archiving has been undone now, so everything is back. But we obviously have different options on the issue. I would absolutely mind archiving other kinds of topic that hold actual information. But sales threads don't. And people don't always contact a mod to change the topic title to sold (and they can't do it themselves), so in this case, having almost 7 years of threads (100+ pages) is nothing but confusing to users, a performance hit on the server and to no real benefit for anyone.
