My son Matthew is helping me sell extra cups and whatnot. Being new to HB and having used Craigslist a lot, he commented that he missed a single button way of marking an item as sold in this site's buy/sell forum. I see his point and have added a "Mark Sold" button for [FS] listings or "Mark Found" button for [WTB] lists. Bonking the button changes the title accordingly ([SOLD] or [FOUND]). It also bypasses the need for moderator approval, saving members and moderators an extra step.

Note that the Mark Sold/Found button only appears for the seller; to save on layout space, it replaces the little-used Post Reply button at the top of the listing (the one at the bottom remains). I coded and tested it quickly; let me know if it doesn't behave as expected.
