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.

Limit on Classifieds Ads bump?
- Thread starter ctshooter
- Start date
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

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.

If you want to filter the Classified Section to EXCLUDE BUMP posts... set your Filter option to
Note on this page how the number of replies is more than 1 for most posts. The classified section only allows the OP to reply to the thread - this shows hoe many times these ads have been "bumped"
Compare when the filter has been activated...

I think OP’s issue is that his ad’s getting buried quickly so nobody sees it. People have to know everything you posted above and must intentionally set those filters to only see new ads. I’ve been a member for like three years and never knew about the option to filter ads by original posts only. What do you figure the percentage of others who know about this option are, maybe 5% (optimistically)?
I don’t sell a ton here so I don’t have a dog in this fight often, just playing devil’s advocate here.
But thanks for the above info!Upvote 0
LOL... I figured it out about 2 weeks after joining the forum. It's a great feature.
There are other useful features to this package. You just have to take the time to learn them.
Some may even find it a bit intimidating upon first joining.

I completely agree with limiting the number of times an add can be renewed. After a certain number of renewals, the add should include a price reduction. Allowing adds to remain up with zero changes, but 20 renewals is ridiculous. It makes it harder for potential buyers to find items

I completely disagree on limiting the number of times an ad can be renewed. Learn how to use the forum ... I know, its an extra click or two. Or, there is an ignore feature?

You have to find the add and click on it, then you will see a sold button. Click sold.
In filters you can search for your add by typing in your user name.

). Nobody wants it or it's priced high silly nobody would even consider to buy .. then lots feel there used stuff is worth more the new . (Like .. Used hw95 tuned by jon in pa $700 ..lol.

I agree that the guys who’ve had the same ad up for literally years with no price changes can be super annoying. But honestly, now it just makes me laugh and wonder if their wives told them they had to sell something, so they list their guns (older gen models, mind you) at near retail so they can tell her “it’s for sale, but hasn’t had any bites!”

I am more in favor of limiting how many times a topic can be beaten to death.
