I have used the classifieds to successfully sell a few things here and there. I have noticed that sometimes when I close the thread by editing as sold ( I think that is what we are supposed to do?) I will get a PM many months later on the listing? Not sure how and why this happens. Also, I noticed many items never going away or many bumps on the thread. It got me thinking about the gun show gypsies that carry their goods in and out of gun shows for years on end. Is this a pricing problem. Are they just kidding themselves that they want to sell?
In sales I have always worked closely with the time it takes to turn something but that is just me I guess. I dont think I have had to ever bump something as my items sell with in a few hours. Time IS money.
Are there any stats that show the success rate of these posters selling their stuff in comparison as to how long they let it run?.
