Seems like the number of active sales threads have doubled on thie forum...guess it's related to the economy people need to sell.
I think that it's more like a flea market now. It used to be more about flashlight enthusiasts trading or recycling lights that they were no longer interested in. Profit usually wasn't a motive.
Now there are dozens of members that only post in the MP. It's still the best community out there, but I miss the older atmosphere.
stop bumping your dang item if you haven't sweetened the pot any (aka price drop). :shakehead
Yeah! 15 bumps in a row with no price drop drives me crazy.
Ha.. you should see how long some people hold out for on some other forums. I am following a thread on a cellphone.. It has been on the market since last June/July with a near daily bump.
> rule
Yeah, a baseball-type "three bumps and you're out" wouldn't hurt.
Let the person decide whether to bump it daily or every three months, and after the third bump it's time to give up.
Or better yet a mandatory discount after the third bump (grin) ....
I wonder how much of it has to do with the CPFM restructuring?
I believe that's the biggest factoralso the flood of new lights seems to have increased in quantity and frequency, and people get caught up in having the latest, greatest light (out with the old in with the new) and hence all the activity on the BST
I agree with this very true and yet disheartening observation. While I still am employed, I'm certainly not seeing any sales bonuses like I did last year, so I'm accordingly evaluating my purchases much more in depth than before. If I don't 'have to own it' then I usually pass, unless it's an absolute steal and I'm at the right place at the right time.I'm lucky to still have a job, think of those potential buyers who lost theirs
