Bump totals

[rbert0005]

just wondering just what the limit of bumps is in the classified ads.

It seems to me that after a dozen or so it’s obvious that no one is interested.

50, 100, 150 is a bit over the top, no?

If you have to bump any ad more than a couple of times your price is too high to garner any interest in your sale item unless it is something that is just very rare or obscure and of limited interest to begin with.

When I get tired of seeing the same ad getting bumped I click the person's profile and use the Ignore feature

Once I found the Ignore feature I started to use it on the posts that went back to 2013! Oh, and the Gun Parlor.

i find the mega bumps most useful. the repeat bumpers use a like clockwork weekly schedule and as a retired person, i mark the weeks by their regular bumping of their wares. calendar? i don't need no f'n calendar!

Sooner or later, someone may buy that Frostee glass chiller for which refills are no longer sold.

There is a reason contractors throw out old sinks instead of trying to sell them on the net when they do a remodel job.

Don't like? Don't read.

It's coming, it will be a time limit. Not matter what I set that limit to I will get "C U next Tuesday's" bitching about it.

Hey, I looked at that pedestal sink and would have bought it if I wasn't so far away.....I'm not paying to ship it.

I think that ad would be far more successful on Craigslist than on a gun board.

Let them bitch....your board, your rules!

Just my opinion but two or three weeks should suffice for anything that is reasonably priced and sought after by most.

Meh, who cares. If I'm not interested I just skip the ad. The pedestal sink, glass froster, etc. are only in one thread. Not that hard to skip.

If it was set to something long like a year it would cut ~50% of the ads out.
Start there and see where it goes. Just mean that you have to create the ad over again that may be enough to discourage most.

Meh, more important things to be concerned with than someone I don’t know trying to sell the same overpriced item for 5yrs.

I’m a guest here, easy enough to skip over it and move on to something else.

I just blocked that username. Simple and don't see it anymore.

There's only like a handful of people though who are basically bumping the same garbage over and over again. I would set the rule to something like "If you can't sell it in a year, it doesn't belong on NES".

These people are really only annoying to mods/staff/you, though. Everyone else can just put them on ignore as a blanket and that solves that problem.

After the 5th bump the thread should be open to posting so people can let the poster know how happy they are.
