How do you "Bump" an ad?

[onebadgman]

I posted my first 2 classified ads and i cannot find the procedure to "Bump" an ad. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Just post a reply in the ad's thread. It can be anything you want, most people just type the word "bump"

And don't bump it sooner than 24 hours from the last bump/or original post if it's the first bump.

Thank you.

Always good to ASK the question.

I'm glad someone asked, instead of doing it wrong, and then yelling at everyone.

Plus now, maybe other people might see it, and find the answer.

@onebadgman, Here is a thread you might find useful:

Suggestions and Tips for Using the Classifieds, my 2 cents

This will be in two posts since You can only add ten pics in each post. This will have a bunch of pics. Read the classified section rules, there is a link to them in every classifieds section. Here is one...

If you EDIT your original post - to add or clarify something - that action does Not "Bump" the ad

To check that the "Bump" was successful - refresh the INGO webpage - then navigate to the Marketplace and your category - and check if your ad is just below the Sticky's

Pro tips:

- If you find you have to bump you add a number of times with no success, consider bumping at different times of the day or week. Put your add in front of other eyes.

- Going on the above, I have found that thoughtful bumping in relation to Friday (payday for many) quite productive along with a weekend bump as a "reminder." For example, Thursday after work bump, then another Saturday fairly early AM.

- You also might want to consider lowering your price, after a number of unsuccessful bumps.

- If you do decide to lower your price, drop it a reasonable percentage. Personally, I'm not motivated by a 5% price drop. If I was that close to buying, I would have paid asking price earlier on.

- For gosh sake, don't put "Price drop" or "reduced" in your thread title, then proceed to bump again and again and again without further price reduction as suggested in the title.
