QTH.COM Swap Chat

I can understand someone reposting their ad ONCE each day to keep it fresh . However modifying ones ad several times a day is annoying for those that look for new items . Please keep modifications to once a day unless something is wrong with the ad . I dont want to see your equipment on the top of every list each time I take a look .

BUT , I have done it many times and it is 100% better in selling. MOST people look at the ticker only and will not scroll thru the adds. I am SURE you have looked at the ticker only many times as well ???? (A ticker is a real time add that captures the last 20 or so items)

I have let things sit for 3 or 4 days , then listed it 4 times in one day and BAM , it sells. I just did one today...

I only look there myself....

Oh , I agree on the multiple adds in a "row" where someone hits enter, then back up , then enter , then back up , 4 or 5 times straight. That's irritating. What I mean that I was talking about is 3 or 4 times a day where they are even rolled off the ticker...

I agree that the"modification" thing is abused - in some cases to the extreme.
Scott has more to do than monitor the pests that persist in the practice.

Maybe a pointed reminder to the offender that the practice has risen to the annoyance level, would suffice.

Often the items are overpriced and undesirable - sometimes 10 times what the item would bring at a Hamfest or Swapmeet.
