    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

    Well after 3 bumps ,lets say 3 days ,you either want to much
    Or people just aren't buying , I put up a 10oz bar free to good home + $350 postage :lol:
    And ofcourse nobody bought it ,but after 2 weeks of no bumps , a US newbie bought it , :D
    SO people do look at the old sales threads ;)

    Maybe a surcharge after the third bump
    1oz silver for each bump after number three ;)
    1oz gold after number ten ;)
    The boss would be rich & I could charge a commission for the idea & policing it :D

    :lol:

    Oh god a bump limit would be great as the same items with unrealistic prices keep getting bumped up covering the other sale thus a vicious cycle of bumping perpetuates.

    -1 policing bumps

    I was never ever never ever bothered by people bumping sale threads.

    Anyone whom is in the market to buy will see your thread whether or not you bump.

    I'm with Redback (cause I prefer minority). Pointless to police bumps.
    However, if there were literally one page full of new sale threads being created daily, then I can understand policing bumps.

    Your carded Koalas.

    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. :(
    Swear at one time I ended up going well below spot.
    Done the next best thing; bribed GP with it. :lol:
