Other forums have vendor forums and private classifieds and allow bumping once a day and that's cool... works well. Sometimes you are looking for private sales and sometimes for new stuff so this is a great way to make it easy to find what you are looking for. It will bring a lot of sanity to the classifieds that is desperately missing right now.

my350Z.com has an excellent structure in its Classifieds section. Plus they have strict sticky forum rules above to all who post in the classified... but it's absolutely organized well, just an FYI

Since I am more interested in technical issues I would welcome both suggestions - ban the b**p (hopfully this will not show up in a search for you know what) and segregate private from commercial sales. Iceman has given perfectly legit methods to to update a thread without the use of the b**p technique.

Finally the Admin will set up some rules and policy. From my experiences with other forums, I didn't really see there is a rule or policy of deleting the "bump" threads, but there really is a policy saying you can only bump once a day. Lowering prices will only make the martket bad like Ebay, and the quality of products will getting worse because no one is willing to pay good prices for good quality stuff. But it's a good thing to seperate vendors and private sellers, and vendors should pay monthly fee in order to sell.
This is NOT a ONCE a day is OK policy!
What you say about the prices sounds funny from a guy that sells REPLICAS and doesn't give out prices, what should and hopefully will be the next big nono here, and tries to make maximum profit with different pricing for different people without saying it's a replica, the third nono IMHO.
Replicas are violating the law...
If you really feel the need for selling them, SAY it and give public pricing infos.
But prices and replicas are something we need to look at when writing up rules now...

Great, why don't you just set up a rule "NO REPLICA HERE"?? Don't try to act or sound like you own this forum.

i'd have to agree with the rules for bumping - it makes sense and does help preserve some key aspects of the forum functionality
