Limit on Classifieds Ads bump?

[ctshooter]

I realize there have been a few threads on this over the past year. I haven't sold anything on here for a bit and thus haven't paid much attention to the ad bumps when browsing. After posting two items a few days ago I was amazed to see how quickly they disappeared off the first page to literally be lost in a sea of ad renewals. The most frustrating part of this is that I believe about 30-40% of the ads had been bumped over 20 times with a large portion bumping 40 to 50 times or more.

This means these ads have been up for over a year and not sold. IMO either the item isn't going to sell, is priced too high, or there is some other seller related quirk to the ad turning people off. Whatever the reason - to have my ad buried with in hours stuff that isn't selling is discouraging.

I've added a poll and I hope the mods will take into consideration some modification of the process to make new items more apparent.

i voted to reduced the number of allowed renewals… Some of the renewals border on the ridiculous…

I think the ones that don't sell helps show where the market is at for items that are over priced or undesirable.

Another factor here,
is members that post 6 different items, individually, on the Classifieds.
This will knock your post down quickly.

The classifieds are the best thing about this forum for me. Now, yeah, my wife would love to see the classifieds limited in any manner possible. She must have gotten to a few of you. Easy to use the "ignoring". Please stop trying to ruin it.
