Limit on Classifieds Ads bump?

This is a little off bunps, But I tried to help a young man out a while back,,,
I said your new gun is not new its used, All the new updated parts are not new there used, and the 10 hours you have working on the gun is your free time ,,, Try and take everything off and sell used at 75-50 % off , also your used gun 80 to 50 % off , Or just make a super good deal on all the gun used stuff,
He got pretty pissed at me and said I was trying to low ball him, I was not buying nothing ,,,,
I voted once so I can't vote again,,,,

Suggesting anyone sell their items 50-80% off is crazy, I can see 30-50% depending on age and condition. Anything above 50% would steer me clear thinking it's likely in bad shape or in need of repair.

Yes it should have read 25-to 50 % off, Yes a used 2000 dollar gun starts at 1,500 a couple years old and the new ones have been up graded 1000, bucks
and scratches or damage to the gun it goes down a lot more,,
I have a Notos that I have spent over 900 dollars on plus the 295 Bucks for the gun, The gun is worth maybe 195 dollars That does not make the gun worth 1950. dollars , I got 10n hours labor 600 dollars , If I was a good sales man I might get 500 dollars for the 300 dollar gun...Any part you put on a gun is about 25 %,, You might take it off and try and recap a little more money

Now that I can fully agree on.

I've listed guns on other sites a few times that didn't sell. I did a price drop and relisted. If they still didn't sell I just kept them. They don't take up too much space. I watch the ads for a WTB something I have and am willing to part with. If we agree on a price we're good. If not, have a nice day.

After reading these multiple threads on this subject, I have now started to block users who continue to list items at incorrect (for the market) prices, some since 2023.

One thing that I don't understand is the change when this site switched over to the new software a few years ago.

Why the weekly nag to renew your classified ad???

Personally I use the search function if I am looking for something specific, and I will find it whether it is on page 2 or page 20. When I sold stuff on the site's old software, I just let it drop down as nature intended, eventually either selling it or changing it to NLA status.

I think that the 'renew your ad' site nag leads to more post BUMPs than are necessary.
