Thank you ... I have a couple that were sold. What should the title be changed too? Do we add the word SOLD?
I guess that depends on how one uses the B&S function, because there are several ways this could work (the following are just my opinions for best practices and not necessarily "the best" way to do things).
Let's say I have 3 items to sell - Canon 5D3, 100-400 and a 50/1.2
I could title the post "FS: Canon 5D3, 100-400, 50/1.2" and either
A) List all 3 items under the "Item 1" box (just typing out the text of what's for sale and updating it all manually)
or
B) List each item separately (5D3 as Item 1, 100-400 as Item 2, etc. all with their own price entries and sales statuses).
Regardless of how I listed the items, it really helps searchers of gear if, after I sell the 5D3, I edit my post's title to "Canon 100-400, 50/1.2" and remove the "5D3" text from the title itself.
That way, someone searching (or browsing) for a 5D3 won't see my title post "Canon 5D3, 100-400, 50/1.2" , only to see I've sold the 5D3. I believe the "search" function in FM only searches thread titles, not the individual items in a post.
Marking it "sold" manually (via a text in the post) or using the item function of marking it sold (if the 5D3 was listed separately as 'Item 1') actually is less important (for searchers) than updating the actual title of the post.
Of course, if you're only selling one item, just mark it as "Sold" using the forum function and FM takes care of itself in that regard --- but if you're selling 3 items, and you mark Item 1 as sold using the function, your title should still be updated because unfortunately that's not automatic.
--- Those are my takes, open to more efficient suggestions (or easier ways of explaining it).

A small favor to ask 
so someone commenting on an item that isn't reflected by the title isn't a 'flag' or problem to me.
