colsy Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I expect it is because I advertised the gun last month..and is still in the classified pages?? Yes? Right, my for sale topic is now on page 6/7 due to it being a month old...yet the gun is still for sale. There are sold guns I.e. Topics that are no longer relevant...because the item is no longer for sale!! on earlier pages. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the no bump rule which prevents active topics from appearing first is NOT in the interest of forum users....why do you mods think it's acceptable to have topics where guns have sold still clogging up pages of directories meaning users have to filter page after page to find active/relevant topics!! Us sellers struggle to gain interest on older topics. Come on PWF...get with the times. Please at least justify your self before you delete this post and tell me why you continually delete my posts and also what you would rather me do.

HDAV Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Perhaps there should be a classifieds archive function where stuff that is sold can be moved removing it from the lists of stuff still for sale? Unfortunately when selling if it slips down the lists...you just have follow the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groach1234 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Just shamelessly bump it. Its far too much work for the mods to be expected to deleted all sold posts in their own time whilst monitoring the entire site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsy Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Cheers, I would bump it if bumping brought topics to the forefront of the directory LIKE ALL OTHER FORUMS I AM A MEMBER OFF (which are of a vast diversity >30 might I add)instead, the topic reamins in date created order..not last updated order...these guys here are very much stuck in their ways and behind times. Do we need a poll to review this? Remember..forums serve the users....and should not be steered by the interests of those that up keep them...either do it right (I appriciate it is a time consuming role) or leave it to others to do right.

colsy Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Oh, and it would be courteous if the mod actually PM'd the topic creator idvising why the topic was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasons gold Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 if you get someone else to bump it it will go to the top of the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Stop bloody moaning , you sound like an old woman . How about you advertise your gun on the 30 other forums your a member of ? And stop taking band width up with a load of old cobblers . all the best yis yp :yp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Maybe the gun is just overpriced or not that interesting. The sales section is extremely buoyant and there are enough people out there with money waiting and room in the cabinets. At the end of the day, if it's not selling, just admit defeat. I tried to sell a really nice gun on here once, but couldn't shift it because I wasn't willing to sell it below a certain price. If you're that desperate to sell it, advertise it in your signature. That's every post you ever made now advertising your gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsy Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 LOL, yea I have got a bee in my bonet I agree..just letting of steam. This is the only shooting forum I'm a member of. others are motorbikes, fishing ect ect the list goes on. Jason, I'm not sure what you said it true, the topic wont shift within the for sale directory (at least I don't think it will)...it might show on the overall list of updated topics...which might not be being viewed by people specifically looking for guns for sale, hanks for your input though. I'm not trying to be an *******.I just want to understand..maybe it's me missing the point...oh and all the other forums...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 It's free, it's not perfect but it's free. Stop bloody whinging. I've sold and bought plenty of stuff on the forum and I'm glad of the service offered by PW, for free (did I mention that already?). I'm afraid I'm with YP on this one. Just live with it, I'm pretty sure you can re-advertise after 21 days anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 The Terms and Conditions of the Trading Post are clearly posted at the top of the section. They have been developed over time and that very busy section runs efficiently. I will avoid saying. if you don't like the T&C's then do not advertise your items there, as that may offend you.

colsy Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 What we pay,,more specifically what we don't pay is not the point. Monetary or other, there is some gain for those involved..our participaion sustains that gain, and for it we expect a good (logical) service.

FalconFN Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 The rules do make sense as some members may keep over-price guns kicking around at the top of the lists for weeks thus clogging it up for new sellers. I don't think 21 days to wait is too bad, a bit frustrating maybe, but as far as i can see if anyone is desperate to sell something they will price it to sell fast.

colsy Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I think I'm being more than fair with the price of that gun. I'm not out to rip anyone of. I appriciate things are only worth what buyers are willing to pay...you don't find that out until you test the water. I'll say it again, I'm not trying to be an ******** I just want an explantion of the rule. If we all ecepted things because they are so, we would still be living in caves...
