Sometimes, yes.

I was in the market for a specific, limited-production handgun. Looked like I was out of luck. Then somebody on another forum pointed me to a thread where a guy was selling one NIB for a acceptable price. He'd had it listed since April and had bumped it a half-dozen times w/o s price drop. Thing is: The price was reasonable. Just had to have someone happen along that was looking for it.

Same thing happened when I was selling a collectable rifle on another forum. My price was fine. Just had to hang in there until the right buyer happened by.

Ha! Another classic.

"I know you said - very clearly - no trades, but I've got this PS2 and like 80 games...."

Yep, you nailed it partner. I said no trades and that I was only selling to generate some extra cash, but what I really wanted was an outdated game system and the 80 crappy games you picked out.

I deleted the thread and posted it elsewhere. And it literally sold in under a minute. My price was already low, it's just that no one here wanted it.

So maybe the answer isn't changing the bait, but trying another spot.


I share your thoughts. I have posted items here, nada, so moved them. No one was interested, at a fair price, not complaining, but just how it goes.

Double the price but throw in a "free" box of ammo. Be gone in a heartbeat.

Does it come with a safe to put it back in?

I love people making fun of others' posts in SIGforum Classifieds almost as much as I love SIGforum Classifieds.

OK, Mr. Insanely Skilled Negotiator, I'll pay YOU to take it off my hands, but first, you have to guess what I'm thinking about selling. Smile

Whatever the answer is, it certainly is not to keep bumping it every day until the months stretch into years!

I don't have any interest in this item I just wanted to give a free BUMP for my friend here.

I have absolutely no financial interest in this item, I promise!

There is an ad like this on one of the revolver forums with a name that starts with S. Getting sick of seeing it on the first page constantly.
