    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.

    Really .. nothing better to talk about now that GDs gone ??

    I remember bringing this up a few months back ... seems the group opinion has shifted somewhat in the interim :rolleyes:

    Must be the low spot price ... ROFL


    Edited to add:

    W&F .. you need to worry more about the crap you typin here than your bloody post count

    ... and I didnt even add another post to MY count just to say that :rolleyes:

    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. :)

    Don't get me started on your hypocrisy.

    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:)

    The W&Fsucks Law (parody of Godwin's Law):

    As the bumps in a sales thread approaches infinity the probability of a sale happening approaches zero.

    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.

    bit different to just bumping the same ad over and over and over and over, without a price reduction. If something isn't selling you know somethings wrong, repeating a failing formula isn't the smartest way to move something.
