For Sale thread suggestion

[hemi]

Mods, a little latitude on this please.

Just making a suggestion for the powers that be.

If someone has a "for sale" thread, anywhere on IA, and the original poster of the thread BUMPS their own thread more than 3x's......it's time to lock it and move on.

If you have to BUMP your own thread more than 3x's and you've gotten reasonable traffic looking at it......it is either overpriced or not interested. Either way, it's just bumping up for no reason. If you didn't have everyone jockeying for position, then you may not even need to "bump" a thread for it to stay in the 1st page.

Many people sell all kinds of stuff on IA. IA has it's rules on how to post and sell on here. It's not rocket science. But people bump old ass sale threads or threads that obviously are not going to sell unless you do something (i.e. drop the price) and it just takes up more space.

There's nothing wrong with a bump from SOMEONE ELSE saying "gl on the sale", or "bump for a good price", or "bump for a good item", yada yada. But for the original poster to keep on and on with "TT", or "daily bump" is just annoying and counter productive IMO.

Agree or disagree?

I second this motion.... There are somethings for sale on here, that are getting no interest. You look at the thread, and 90% of the posts are the seller bumping..

EXACTLY.

That's what I mean....if the original poster is the ONLY ONE bumping the thread over and over and over again......come on, give it up and move on.

If there's interest from OTHER PEOPLE, it's one thing. But to have a thread with 95% "TT" or "bumpity bump" by the same person.......it's gay IMO.

Close it and make room for new stuff people may be interested in.
