A new longest running sold item record this week! | Selling

This week I sold a 2009 listed item that has been running as a GTC for 17 years. (I think the old record was 11 years). I thought it must be close to being one of my originals to when GTC was introduced, but according to AI GTC became an option in 2006 (I was only running on .COM at that time). I adopted GTC as soon as it was possible so it is possible the record could still be broken again, I'll have to check to see if I have any others older than this running still when I have time to spare! Most astonishingly it doesn't appear to have sold via promotion. I have graduated promotion levels for the "oldest" half of my 5,000+ items, with the oldest having the largest discount. I have had other 5+ year items sell this week via promoted listings, unless this one has a delayed assessment*, it appears to have been found directly, which I don't mind! *I see looking back that I do have promoted fees showing up day(s) later so I expect this will get zapped eventually but I don't mind, it is good to have some of the oldest stuff moving this week! Have a great weekend!
