Let's be blunt, "no bumps of any kind for any reason ever because jumping the line is unfair" is a bad idea.
It kinda makes sense if you WTB/WTS something common and/or in high demand.
But if you're not...posts roll off the first few pages pretty quickly even for the small minority who can check the forums constantly. Maybe there's a guy out there who wants whatever odd specialty lens I'm selling and would pay the price I'm asking but has, you know, a job. Why do I have to lower my price to give him a second chance to notice my listing?
Some sites limit you to just X bumps (usually just 1) or one bump every X period of time (FM is 12 hours, I'll admit that might be a little too short). The latter is better, but I'll take what I can get.
Fred Miranda even has a "Bump" button so you don't have to clutter the place up with nonsense posts.
