Suggestion – minimum 5% price drops for bumps

I don't mind bumps – by someone else or by me. Unless it's an everyday-ish thing.

I don't think I abuse it, though. At least I hope not.

is this that big a problem?

doesn't seem worth the rule-making to me. much less the enforcement.

I think the level of bumping that folks engage in is totally fine. It's usually every few days, only a couple of times, or with more pictures or a price decrease. Very rarely does it rise to the level of annoyance. And the alternative is that an item you might be interested in rapidly sinks out of sight (and Lord knows it's unfindable with the current search system), not good for the seller or a prospective buyer.

Gear swap (with a very rare exception) is a part of BPL that works well, with fair sellers and buyers, lots of trust, and good, well-priced and well-described offerings.

Just what we need. More government. More taxes. At least it's not just a plain old bump.
And what's so wrong with that? Maybe someone posted something 3 or 4 days ago..and a simple bump will put it back on page 1 for people who missed it 3 days ago to see..no harm done.

That's why you look at recent threads instead of recent posts.
100 bumps don't do a thing.
