    Agree wholeheartedly... Eric and Jim's suggestion seems very sensible and actionable...

    Five bumps seems a little excessive. How about three?
    Since most sellers welcome an offer it seems to me that said seller wants more than the market will bare or the item is a dog. Seriously, does anyone really sell anything after the third bump unless they've done some serious price adjusting?
    OR
    the item over a long period of time has seasoned and the demand has changed?

    And is a "bump" defined as any post by the OP that helps bring it to the surface after a short/long hiatus?

    Thanks Frank. I appreciate the comments. Five bumps seems to work as I've seen many of our members need this many to figure out that sweet spot to sell an item.

    It's a little bit of an art but I look for "pure" bumps and downward price adjustments. I don't "count" responses that appear to be continuations of the buyer-seller discussion.

    Feel free to PM me any time with concerns or comments.
