What is the best workflow for a classified forum part ?
Eg when an item is sold/purchased/exchanged should it then be marked as “unlisted” or moved to a trash category?
Or are there plugins?
How to allow a user to unlist it ?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around managing classifieds in a forum, focusing on workflows for handling sold, purchased, or exchanged items. oluies asks about best practices, such as marking items as ‘unlisted’ or moving them to a trash category, and whether plugins can assist. notriddle suggests using the discourse-solved plugin to mark items as solved and filter unsolved topics. dax recommends a plugin for trading buttons that allows sellers to archive topics. Janno_Liivak explains their approach of archiving topics to keep them searchable while hiding them from the main category. oluies and James_Cribbs inquire about updates and successful implementations. MarcP clarifies that ‘classified’ refers to a marketplace for buying, selling, or trading items, not a private category.
I’d probably use discourse-solved, so that sold items get marked with a checkbox.
And put a link to your Classifieds subforum to show only the unsolved topics, like https://meta.discourse.org/c/support?solved=no
Well, consider this plugin too:
A topic that has exhausted its function (article sold, changed or traded) can be archived by the seller (aka topic’s author).
My plugin archives the topic. I needed the topic to be searchable (for bulk actions) … unlisted (hidden) topics cant be searched.
So people would mark topics as sold/purchased/exchanged and category moderator would bulk-move them under archive category. The easiest way if you want topics to remain present but don’t want them to stay under trade category 
Any new functionality here in newer releases ? 
I would love to see any updates here! Anyone successfully implement a Classified category?
Define classified?
You mean a private category? Make a group and only give that certain group access to the category?
I mean a Classified as regards to a place where items are bought/sold/traded, which is what this topic is about
