Flea Market Posting

[bhoff]

I'm sure this is posted somewhere in the multiple pinned posts at the top of the sub thread, but for the life of me I can't find anything on it. This being, if there is no bumping, what do you do to your post after a week or two and it stops getting any attention? Are you allowed to repost after a certain amount of time? Any help would be great.

 

Thanks.

You lower the price.  That's why it isn't getting any attention.

That or the fact I'm selling offshore reels on a bass fishing forum... And that was mainly hypothetical.

There's plenty of guys on here that do coastal fishing, but yes you won't get as much as on a saltwater board.

John's right. Take a look at your price, evaluate if it's competitive, that's usually the holdup. 

 

Then again, sometimes there's just not a market for it. Sometimes it's like that. Try eBay, Craigslist, or something else. Then try reposting at a lower price later if you're not getting any interest. 

 

Sometimes trades work, I know personally I don't always have the free cash, but I have plenty of items I rarely use that someone else might be looking for. 

 

There's a few ways to go about it.....just give it some time.

It is a downfall. I've made numerous posts on here trying to sell something at a price I felt was fair but it doesn't get the attention/offers that I feel it should. So you're left either dropping your price or trying to sell it elsewhere.

I agree somewhat.  You have to know your audience.  I know for me, it's tough to sell a unique JDM reel, with mods, upgrades, and my own personal cleaning regimen for what I think it's worth.  I kind of use those as a bonus, rather than charge for it, and it usually helps the item sell faster, even though I know maybe an auction site with a week long duration might be better.  It's just so much more convenient to deal with friends here.
