Ideally, of course, this would be configurable, but my preference would be for
C) and B) thereafter.  In other words, display the item as SOLD for a day or

Again, ideally the choice is C).  Failing that, I'd be inclined to go with A)
so long as I have the option of deleting things individually.

YMMV.
