Re: Bumping sale threads

Spam shouldn't be policed either, think of poor mach and his other twins trying to make some money by spamming UGG BOOTS and silver to $50000000 stuff.

Re: Bumping sale threads

I admit; I have not ventured and explored the sale threads since my rebirth (apart from one random time when I happened to see a 'dragon 1ozt gold' for sale). So, I only express from bias past.

I am that lazy and ignorant I refuse to inspect the apparent chaos in sale threads. Much easier to be in bliss.

So, please excuse my ignorant ways.

My vote don't count.

Re: Bumping sale threads

I've bumped for sales more than three times I'd say, but I usually drop the price slightly when I do.
Bumping a static price and not entertaining offers is just retarded.

Re: Bumping sale threads

Would be nice if other members chimed in with their for or against vote.
On that note; I go for nap time with 1499 post count (not that I am making a BIG deal of it or anything). No celebration tonight (AEDST).

no need policing.. just common sense is needed. The price is too high or no market.

Can we have a limit as to how many times you can bump? It is annoying that some folks keep bumping their sale thread even after 1 week.

There should be limit of 7 bumps, after that a moderator should close the thread - read only

Disagree. -1

If you know the products and the sellers well enough you have no need to click on their sales thread. Try being discerning it can work wonders.

Of course, if there are excessive bumps within a small time window (such as seconds/minutes) this ought to be policed. Though, depends on the 'added' content.

For example,
There was a time I had up 20x ASEs going cheap. Since I was in need of quick money I was bumping and dropping price every couple of minutes. Redback came to my aid again.  sad
Swear at one time I ended up going well below spot.
Done the next best thing; bribed GP with it.  lol

Bumps in a small time window are not a problem. Much of it is between potential buyers and sellers who wish to inject some life into their sale with some banter etc or achieve a quick result. It usually doesnt take up too much time.

Bumps every 12 hours with no new info or price change are more of a pain I reckon but if thats how some people want to sell then that's up to them. Different strokes....

I think some of the irreverent or irrelevent posts on sales threads are great value. For anyone who whinges about such things you should be reminded that each thread is receiving free publicity (buy getting a non-self inflicted bump). If it is being torn to shreds there's usually a reason for that but if you are treated unfairly someone will possibly feel empathy for you and maybe end up doing you a decent deal. Friends here suited to most personality types and tastes.

So many PMs....so many ways to sell them. smile

Re: Bumping sale threads

Yes,so what we bump.What is the big deal about it? There are more than 4000 members here and I guess not everyone is present all the time. You want as much attention to yr ad and  more member to see your ad if possible. I think you agree that selling here a little bit easier for members being here a longer period of time but be patient with newcomers.
Although I've seen many times that those members bumping they ad every 2 hrs and lowering price if it does not sell right away:) Who's desperate to sell?:)Im just wondering when you use ebay,how long you run yr ad? Dont tell me only 1 day:)That'd be silly:)
Personally I have learned a lots of things from bumping ,reading the comments,mostly good things.

Like members mentioned it before,if you know the seller,dont like the item,dont read ,move on:) It's that easy:)

Thank you for reading my comment:)

Perhaps,but necessary.I sold items immediately after a who knows how many bumps for the original asking price,no hassle at all:)

In extreme cases involving the W&Fsucks Law, the sale actually folds back upon itself once it has reached the infinity point and you end up paying someone 12% above spot to take your 1oz Kook off you (plus postage). The longer you avoid this sale, the quicker the premium compounds.

Once this occurs it is referred to as The W&Fhypersucks Law.
