How do you feel about bumps that are pics of attractive women with coffee???
;-)

To all of my TalkBass brothers who have bumped my sale threads and asked me questions in the past, thank you very much! I see many of you involved in this bizarre, but entertaining thread. Regardless of the OPs thoughts on the matter, I appreciate you and all of your comments.
Please keep em coming. It keeps selling things on TalkBass fun!

I see where you're coming from, you probably get an email each time someone comments and it could be frustrating that it's not an interested buyer. But I would just try and look at it like a free bump, and tell people in the ad to PM you and not reply. Then you can mostly ignore the emails aside from the knucklehead or two that don't read it all or pay attention.

I bump if a piece of gear I like and its at good price.
Or if there are chin straps involved on some way.

Man there is plenty of other things that agitate me like crazy about selling, most of this list seemed kind of like overreacting to me, but that's me.
What agitates me is people going "[Insert member here] is selling [insert gear here] for [insert price here], why are you charging [insert price here] for yours?" as if I'll suddenly lower my price going "My gosh! What was I thinking?? Of course I'll drop my price $150 and include shipping, oh my foolishness!" It's rude and obnoxious thing to do, they would know if they ever tried to sell anything. I will say this though, well-wishers and people talking up the beauty/value of your instrument is MORE than welcome in my classifieds thread

But OP wants no one to do that though! He hates it when people talk sexy things about his gear that he's selling

That's a fair gripe. Not the OP's, mind you - but a fair gripe. And yes, I've had that happen to me - and I usually say "feel free to buy the cheaper [insert object here]"". I don't sell gear for a living, so I'm not terribly frantic about it.
Man, people complain about everything. If you don't like it, do it the old-fashioned way - put up an ad in the paper or on the wall in a music store. Paypal and buyer questions/comments are OK by me.
Calling a thread closed is not the same as closing it... LOL
