Does your ad go bye bye too fast too?

Post by flagg07 »

5ish days ago I posted an ad. I noticed that it dropped to the 2nd page within what seemed like 24-36 hours. Needless to say, I got less offers than I have when an ad stayed upfront for a longer period and waiting to repost makes me :'(

Is anyone else noticing this or is it just a fluke/ bad timing on my part?

If it's a fluke, I'll continue to suck it up.
If it's not, is there anything we can do? Might it be time to add more specific categories? For example, a Forgeworld or Out of Print (OOP) sub category of 40K/WFB?

Thoughts? :idea:

It seems to be that over the weekend the ads stay a bit longer, actually. Most traders (I theorize) actually GAME on the weekend and trade during the week.. Monday's being high "new ad" days.. perhaps folks realize the need for that new unit based on the results of the weekend's games. I tend to post my ads on Thursdays.. generally they might still be visible on Sunday.. sometimes even Monday.

I would chalk what happened to you to "bad timing" more than anything else.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Folks I am awaiting a ref from.. Zack
