If you want your post to stay up for a decent while now you have a couple choices:
1) Contribute to the forum more and get access to the Exclusive Classifieds section where only "Skilled" and above post.
2) Buy "Dealer" perks to post in Dealer's paradise.
This is what they probably want anyways.

@Mods @Crazy_Eddy @puns @renegade
It's been a week since Crazy_Eddy promised to respond on this locked thread - https://techenclave.com/threads/avoid-bumps.214395/page-2
Is there any update? How are we supposed to use the market section/our ongoing sale threads if there is no pricing change?
A clarification from the Mods will be greatly appreciated.

this actually seems completely un-neccesary.. if anything there was extra acitivity in the classified sections due to bumps. I agree that bump spamming should be stopped but i think we can only bump a thread once a day so even thats auto-moderated?
Read the locked thread linked above. They are asking not to bump daily. Only if you have an info update.
You must realise it's not just you alone doing the bumps. You are not the center of the universe. There are hordes of forum members each doing bumps and it accumulates like compound interest resulting in too much traffic overall.
So only allowing bumps if you have genuine updates seems quite reasonable to me.

I am not sure if this addressed to me or people in general, but I have never claimed to be the centre of the universe. Many other people have similar questions on the locked thread and Crazy_Eddy did say that he is going to respond later. Lots of threads have been locked or deleted because they didn't see this change in rules. This affects many members.
Why is asking for a clarification attracting such passive aggression here?

A few humble suggestions from my side considering the new rule change.
For sellers
Whenever possible, take the time to list items in separate threads with appropriate prefixes/labels & tags. Since unnecessary bumps are no longer allowed, it's easier for prospective buyers to filter using the label or search using tags in a specific subforum.
Whether you want to drop the price, withdraw the item or put a hold on the sale, keep the thread updated so that buyers don't get confused. Once the sale is concluded or withdrawn, use the report button on the first post and ask the mods to lock the thread. This is (I'm assuming) easier for the mods compared to tagging them directly on a post.
All this may seem like a hassle but as the active member count grows (Most of whom are attracted to the marketplace), the old rules or practices would not have remained viable anyways.
For buyers
If you are searching specifically for something, then try filtering with the appropriate FS:<Prefix> or use the search feature mentioning the tags you are interested in and the subforum name.
If you simply want to keep track of new sale threads for good deals,
- Watch the Classifieds, Dealers Paradise and WTB forums for new threads. You will get notifications on TE when a new thread is posted.
- If you enable browser notifications, you can have these notifications forwarded to your Phone or PC if you so wish.
- You can also choose to receive notification for each new post but that would probably be overkill especially before the rule change. I suggest only watching the threads you are interested in for new posts else you'll be swamped by the notifications.
For Mods
If possible, can we enable multiple prefixes/labels for threads like in Reddit? So, if someone is selling a desktop for example and are open to parting out, they can use multiple prefixes like Desktop, RAM, Processor etc. This is still possible via the existing tags feature, but I find it less intuitive than color coded prefixes appearing near the thread name.

I have lost hope from TE staff. None of the mods bothered to reply to my PM which was sent to them over 2 months+ ago...
Plus this crazy eddy guy is clearly breaching my privacy.
I shared the reason with him because he is a MOD but that doesn't mean he can share my private information publicly.

I think one bump per account per day seems reasonable.
If you have 4 threads, you should only bump one thread per day. If there's pricing change or other important update, then it shouldn't count.

First erodov.. then with r/indiangaming comitting suicide recently.. and if the new classified rules here stay.. Imo the classified section will probably slowly die. where am i supposed to go now for tech discussions and good deals now? :'(
From what little i have seen 50% of the members here probably first come for the classified's and stay active because of the helpful community.

One thread would be a bit difficult, because let's say I have 2 hard disks and a headphone to sell.
The thread would have to be tagged 'others' or one of 'home video and audio' and 'storage hardware'.
Meaning I will miss out on a few visits at least.
Even though I'm against posting 5 threads a day, I guess I would lean towards multiple threads, as long as it's only bump'd at one post/day across threads.
I have my doubts if all that can be enforced automatically using the forum platform. Let's see if the mods respond here.
oh, i said that thinking about a WTB thread not a FS thread.
or maybe this bump limit should just be limited to the WTB section...
