I am against closing the ads after 30 days for any reason. I bump my ads for unsold items every month or two, sometimes longer. I disagree with those who say that after 30 days you need to change up the ad/price/pics. A-bodies are arcane things to begin with and most things are not in huge demand. You think if someone is unsuccessful after 30 days trying to sell say a rear bumper bumper for a 1965 Valiant it is because of his price/description/pics? There is just not a huge demand for many of these items. I have been trying to sell a convertible top frame for a 1967 Dart for years. Every 6 to 8 months I bump the ad. Now I have to find the photos and rewrite a whole new ad? For those who would argue that my ad can be found by using the search feature and I can be PM'ed, I would counter that if that is the case we should eliminate bumping all together.
If you have an account with Craigslist they let you see all of your expired ads and repost them at anytime. Perhaps Joey can come up with a way to send your ad back to the top of the page without having to type some sort of reply.
As an aside, I am a Gold member but I rarely bump an ad on a weekly basis. I get annoyed seeing the same ads pop to the top every few days so I do not do that myself. I think bumping every couple of weeks is more than adequate. My $.02.
