    Simply edit it if within the time limit, otherwise report the post and ask a mod to edit it. Never should you post duplicate threads. There is no way to delete pre-existing threads. They are permanent once posted.

    As Stron said you can’t delete threads, you can ask a Mod to close it or edit your post.

    Thanks Brian

    Just use the report button and request mods to close it. Be extra careful the next time you post a thread :)

    If you're within your first 8 hours, you can edit it. If not, consider it permanent.

    You can PM a mod to close a thread, but you must give us the reason. Wanting it closed so you can start another thread is not an acceptable reason. You would still get an infraction for starting a duplicate thread. You may only have it closed to start another thread IF you've made significant changes to the deal (wanting to change the price because no one's interested is not a good enough reason - put the price in an off-site hosted image if you may want to change it).
