Buy, Sell & Trade Section Guidelines

[Jobu]

I think the general rules are that you should combine items when practical or similar and that you are not supposed to bump your own post more than every three days unless replying to someone else's post.

I would also like it if people would quit bumping posts with another post to say "Sold!". That moves an unavailable item back to the top. Much better to edit the original post to mark it sold and then leave it buried wherever it was.

I think some get fixated on being at the top of the page, which is understandable. But when someone is bumping eight or 10 threads at a time in the same category, it's just plain selfish.

All anyone has to do is pm me and idiocy will be handled. There is an admin feature called "merge threads". Or if you don't like anything over there just pm me and if it is crazy it will be taken care of. Bumping a thread shouldn't be more than every 2-3 days. If that happens, PM me please and I will say something to the offender. Every issue ever asked about, to me or another moderator, has been dealt with one way or the other.

Feels good to bitch about something unimportant that isn't sickness or death related for a few minutes.

I agree, my #1 pet peeve

Preach it my brother.

How about a rule that if an item has not sold after 20 bumps, it must come down and cannot be re-listed for 6 months?

As long as it's not bumped more than every 3 days or so, why?

[Rhotchkiss]

I just find it annoying to see the same listing over and over and over, and you know it ain’t selling. Just my personal issue. I can easily ignore the listings, as I have been doing so far.
