Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
PSA/Trading post reminder
From terms and conditions thread that all who post in Trading post have acknowledged.
xii. You may "bump" your threads no more than once per day.
Starting to see too many short bumps. Trading post is a busy place but once a day will still typically keep ad on first page.

How about bumping a post to say its sold.
Just edit the first post.
Proper procedure is to use the triangle "Report Post" icon and type "sold".Originally Posted by sportbikeco

+1, this.
When you do it this way a message is left for the staff telling us which post/thread needs modifying. We can find it quickly and update the title/close the thread. This helps save other members from viewing obsolete threads, and save you from getting PM's for items you've sold, traded or withdrawn.
I found at least 1/2 dozen threads this morning where the items were no longer available but the staff hadn't been notified to close the thread (a few had comments in the thread indicating the iems were no longer available, but I only knew that by viewing each of them).

That process works just as well as the "Report Post" option but is more work for the member. We want to keep things as easy on you guys as we can. Use whatever works for you so long as the staff knows we can update the title on and close the threads.

Can we also stop using photobucket? I don't know about anyone else but it is a slow loading spam factory, and I just wont even bother looking at your pictures if you post them there. There are so many other better options out there, imgur and others load quickly and there are not a pile of popups to block.
Figured I would through this in there and see what others think.
If someone PM's me the thread URL or, in the future, uses the "Report post" button, I will merge the multiple posts into 1 post (probably into the OP. We have no problem with 1 bump a day or actually updating the thread with new info, but actions like you describe here are poorly veiled bumps. That sort of thing isn't acceptable.

Why is that your responsibility or even necessary ?
Between this OP for notifying a mod once item sold, and bumping it as a reminder. If a forum member does multiple bumps / BTT in a 24 hr period, EXCEPT to say item is SOLD or SPF. That For Sale Item should be locked or removed.

Here's a reminder, folks. I get that the newbies make this mistake...but if you've been here a while and do a same-day bump to a number of posts, you're going into time-out for a while. I just learned how to do it, too.
This here's your warning.

Here's a thought. If you've been offering your item for sale for months and bumping with regularity and no result then your item is not desirable or your price is out of line.
I'll bump once. Maybe twice. If it's not sold then it's probably not going to sell for a number I can live with.
