Dennis and shaderathe covered most of the reasons why i leave up my ads, but there is one more. Leavong up sold ads also helps to establish market value.

Say you are looking for a particular animal. I'm going to make one up for argument. A widget lizard. This animal is somewhat hard to find, and very few people offer it for sale. You may find one, but the seller is asking $4000 for it. You didnt think it would cost so much, so you look through the ads and see that there were two or three sol last year of similar quality for $2000. You can then see that the sellers asking price is high for the market, add that information go yiur repeftoire and act accordingly.

Personally, i get upset when people take down their ads, as it's basically just throwing away valuable information.
