So now that we are on a new classified's system how are you guys dealing with not being able to bump your threads every few days?  I think it's fine for really quick sales, but what about those high dollar rarities that may takes weeks or months to sell?

I really dislike the new classified system, along with not being able to bump the threads anymore. It makes it a lot more difficult to sell things.

I kinda like the fact that things aren't over bumped and that it's a little easier to organize.  I do wish people that sell their items would mark it sold so it wouldn't appear as for sale.  Search wise I find it is more fine tuned and useful.  On the other hand, I do find that the price system is too US-centric with the pricing system.
 
One reason I like the lack of bumps is that now I have more incentive to go through more than the first page of the for sale section to see other ads that were not bumped but still available.

I also like how the ads are sorted by creation date, without all the bumped stuff. Probably my favourite feature of the new Head-Fi!

I like it if I'm buying but for selling it's terrible.

i look twice. i sort first by creation date to see new FS items and then by update for revised ones.

But a casual user usually only meanders around the first few pages... if you're lucky!
 
So then, is it feasible then to delete your listing and re-make it?  I know craigslist for instance has a policy against this!

Yeah, I think the new system is moronic. I've had my WTB ads just fall off the front page in a few days tops, never to be seen or heard of again. I think my DT48 ad is still floating around out there somewhere, but of course I haven't gotten a single PM in the nearly two months it's been up. With the old system, I'd have at least gotten a few offers by now unless it's something really rare.
 
The new classified ads system and the new feedback system are just really unnecessary in my opinion.

 

[psone]

not that I've used the system (i have nothing to sell

) but as sellers you should have the option to bump lets say once a week...
 
makes sense to me anyway

You guys can bump. You just have to sort by "Date Modifited" or whatever it's called to see them. I preffer having the two options, but I wish we could sae our default sorting methods in out profile preferences.
