Default Crying in the For Sale Thread 😢

How much is enough in the ForSale section?
people complaining after weeks/months of their stuff not selling... Whine because others ask questions and use it as intended and their stuff moves on down the list.
Well FYI it moves down the list because no one is interested in the items. (Throw it away or give it to your neighbor)

It's pretty bad (in my opinion) to mow down people for using the thread to find out info about a item Just because your items get moved on down this list. After 12 13 or 15 bumps some with rude snide remarks, does a person really expect a item to sell? (some do not or can not use PM and some wants the transaction out there for people to see)
Why bring something back to the top that has shown No Interest to anyone "after weeks or months of 'excessively' bumping" and no interest shown?

JUST ASKING/SAYING
oh well I'm off to the for sale thread too bumb my post to the top, hourly if needed to keep it at the top. help to keep it there till sold is appreciated. 😊

I have a pair of slightly scratched pegs there and I ain't bumping...no matter what...but I AM considering RAISING the price every few days until they're sold.

Sometimes that works, I purchased a new 2003 Cheby truck and kept my 89 to sell. It was clean and had eyes, mechanically sound and well maintained. It had a 160K on it, drawbacks were no AC or power **** and a 2WD with a 4 speed. My buddy owned a shop and he and I figured $1700 at best, his daughter said I'll get $3300 for it. Put it out front at $2K, not even a tire kicker in a weeks time. Snow came it ended up out back for a week, daughter put it back out front for $3500. There were people fighting over it..lol

Talk about whining!! Take my advice and don't bump hourly. Your ad just might be removed. Read the rules.

Yes that was my one and only ever Whine.. (lol)
(Stated fact and opinion not a Whine)
I appreciate your advice but I was clearly joking about bumping hourly. Your the boss so remove what is in violation of any rules.

Thanks for what you do!

That's funny. I guess people are suspicious if the price is too good. I was kidding of course.
