Hi Mike,
I was referring to how Mike Anderson signed his post "Cheers, Sergio"
Yours sincerely,

Yeah, I saw that too but didn't QUITE know how to take what he wrote. I'm fairly dense-minded, ya' know?? ;)
Re: Etiquette Regarding Bumping WTB / WTS Ads In the Classifieds Section??
I "bump" whenever an add falls past page 2 in the classifieds. On the other hand I almost always decrease the price (a meaningful amount) with each bump. That's basically every day or two. But the items tend to sell fairly quickly. If it doesn't sell I might let it linger without bumps or send it to e-bay. I also don't usually have more than three items for sale at any one time (that is to say, three unsold items--there may be other ads still on page one or two that have sold).
I see a good number of items on the classifieds with regular bumps but with an asking price way too high--or poor photos and/or poor description. For example, there's a lens that is getting silly low in price--I sold the Caltar version for 50-75% more than the current asking price on this one. But the photos are blurry. If you bump it a few times with prices decreases with zero interest then something is wrong...

Darin... I must agree with with you that asking prices on photo forums are, more often than not, too high!! I'll not be listing much for sale here but, if I do, I'll be asking fair prices and expecting some low-ball offers with no hard feelings. My stuff will mostly be listed on eBay.
Re: Etiquette Regarding Bumping WTB / WTS Ads In the Classifieds Section??
http://www.dingsme.info/avatar4.jpgI have. All my stuff will probably go on the auction site.
Re: Etiquette Regarding Bumping WTB / WTS Ads In the Classifieds Section??
I agree with the consensus on bumping - something I'll be doing shortly for the two lenses I'm selling, both open to reasonable offers plus postage.

Once per week strikes me as reasonable for a WTB post.
