I just spent a few hours here fixing (hopefully) this for links from here. The listing title in the url now has to be a dash and nordt=true has to be a query string for it to show the closed item every time. Clear your history since most browsers cache redirects and see if it works for you. The link in the post will still have the title for SEO purposes, but it should be stripped and replaced with a dash on the landing page.

coinlover1899 Pillar of the Community United States 3058 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 7:21 pm Bobby, I have definitely noticed this. It drives me crazy! When I click on something, I don't want to see some random coin ebay thinks is similar to the one I clicked on!! Lol. Sometimes I just don't understand there new features.

Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 8:15 pm I have to think their reasoning is that you might bid on or buy the active/similar item they show you. If they show you the closed listing, you're not incented to bid or buy anything. I don't like it either. I even sent them feedback. But I doubt they'll change it back for the reason I just stated.

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5666 Posts	Posted 08/15/2018 9:51 pm Thanks for doing this! It's been really annoying when trying to look up a sold listing. If you ever get redirected to a current listing (when searching outside of CCF), there's a link near the top of the page on the word "listing" that will take you to the original expired listing.
