Anyone?

I think it's more than reasonable. If it ain't priced right, it ain't gonna sell.

Some items may be so obscure that it takes a while to move. I have things that have been bumped frequently in the WTB category. No one seems to have them, or if they do, they aren't willing to part with them right now.

Mostly its just over priced stuff, not sure how a 350.00 new ar can turn into a 600.00 ar with 500 rnds down the tube

I see the same members asking within 5% of retail cost. Most of these guys are selling items that would sell within a week if their asking price was in line with the current market. Guns are like cars, once off the lot they are used. Also, as stated in a previous forum, adding a boatload of stipulations will deter many potential buyers. If you look at the guys with high thread counts, and lots of postive feedback you will notice what they ask for an item is very fair, if not an excellent deal.

Lol, anyone remember the helicopter that sold within a week years back?? If it takes 45 bumps to sell your BCM Mk12 it's priced way too high! Often adding better pictures, or adding an accessory or ammo will get an item to move if it's in constant bump mode. I actually enjoy trading more than selling. I've gotten firearms in trades I thought I would have no interest in, but my horizons were expanded and these are now keepers for life.

24 bumps? Would say that if you have to bump it once a week for more than ten weeks,you ought to get the message and drop it off if its for sale,or raise the offer if you are looking to buy.

In my opinion, it could go either way. I traded an upper last week that I had posted back in early June or July. I wasn’t trying to make money on the item, and at my price, it was an incredible deal. It sat and sat, week after week. I realized that I had a unique item, so I was patient. Ironically, instead of selling it, I traded it for something that I wasn’t even originally looking for.

My point is that it took the right trader’s interest to finally get it out of my safe. Even if something is priced to sell, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will go quickly, especially in today’s market.

Side note, I usually bumped the post one or twice a week, NOT every day.

Some items just don't sell fast.

I think there can be a perception something is overpriced if it has been bumped a few times. I find I mostly get offers the first time I post an item.

Would make more sense to only allow an item to be bumped once every 5 days or so.

Ya mean 2+ years and 150+ bumps is too many???

I cross post my items to several sites... usually a little lower on the price here to save the hassle of shipping and I know some folks.

Most items sell on other sites, before they sell here... just the nature of this site... i.e. everyone is used to finding a bargain on VAGT... or are just a pack of cheapskates... don't really matter.

Stuff always sells sooner or later.

"Good Guy" bumps/tags used to help, but overall this site has been highjacked by MANY (not all) fools and prepubescent man-children (and women). Just look at the SB sometime.

Just saying what I/many think... don't really care if you agree or disagree.

(PLEASE add me to your ignore list if you are really really mad... or I melted your snowflake world).

This isn't a complaint just an observation, but the site made a large polar shift after Sandy Hook. That was when the big member surge took place, and the entire vibe changed.

I understand where you are going with this but I have got responses after that many posts , its not hurting anyone and we get new members all the time . My opinion is that if you want to bump a 100 times then that is your choice

I would not agree with the limit.

For example, I had an item that was unique that I bumped for months. I knew the price was right on it. In the end the right buyer found it and made me an extremely fair trade deal.

For the less unique items, they tend to sell fairly quickly.

Don't agree. My post has been up for a while and I've been bumping it almost daily when I can. I've also received a bunch of offers for my post at the same time, but they were for guns I wasn't interested in.

Just because the threads been bumped a lot doesn't mean there's nothing going on behind the scenes.

Merry Christmas VAGT

I see your merry Christmas and bump ya

Some post things then say "I am not looking for anything particular. Just seeing what's out there". Then you make good offer after good offer just for them to deny every trade offer. I just don't have time for that, and I cannot believe anyone else does either. I just will never make another offer to these members. I don't have the time to waste. Who does have that kind of time to post and wants to answer a bunch of fruitless inquiries anyways? I have never had a post bump more than 3 times. If it is listed, it is for trade or sale not for attention. If you list it then trade it or sell it traders!!! Ridiculous to post and bump for years your choice or not, IMO. Just a waste of time for the potential buyer or trader.

to the TOP!

Bob may would bump a broken door stop a thousand times, to make page 1

Last bump at 2 week special price of $750. Price goes back up to $850 tomorrow. Since it hasn't sold in 47 bumps at $750, I'll bump it at $100 more another 82 times.

SITE RULES REQUIRE A PRICE. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN AUCTION.

Only 50 rounds down the pipe. Guaranteed not to keyhole as long as round count does not exceed 30. Priced to move.

Series two TiVo with the lifetime service, last bump and then I keep it forever!

Last bump before I vacuum seal it and put it back in the bunker.

Buyer backed out, back up

Is this still available? What is the EXACT round count? Has it ever had any malfunctions? Did you buy it new? How many owners before you?

Bump

Looks like a AK seed!

Change the term from "bumping" to "Tugboating".

"Just testing the waters"

People probably bump posts because 90% of the people here are so broke they can’t pay attention, 9% think that anyone selling is hard up for cash, and 1% can actually buy something.

Case in point, I posted what would be a $1600 pistol for $800 and a $4400 rifle for $2200.

In 30 minutes I had 6 people saying they’d take them. Of course they would, because they’re cheap. Maybe we should have a welfare sales section and another entitled “Don’t even look because you’ll never be able to afford it “

I was just thinking about this the other day. Some of it may also be people could be "rationally ignorant" as in they just don't really know better.

Years ago when I was stacking ammo I remember FMJ 9mm and 54R was roughly the same price at under 20 cents a round.

A friend the other day said 54R is nearly 40 cents a round and I said to him he just wasn't looking in the right places. Sure enough I didn't realize that prices had gone up a bit....

With 9mm its the opposite there are places where its going for well under 20 cents a round

Oh well it is what it is...

I tend to be a sucker for really good deals even though I don't need them or really want them. I keep saying to myself I can't afford to not get it.

anybody ever wondered if there ever was a squirrel that was scared of heights, or a deer scared of the dark, i think about stuff like this

This is a ridiculous bump!

+1 to that guy ^
