How about in the for sale section,

one forum for Bodies and one for lenses and one for Misc stuff...

Is the for sale section that busy? I guess it would be nice to see your stuff there for more than 1 day.
Maybe they could change the rules on bumping in that section.

The rules on bumping are quite straightforward. No bumping. If you change your offer it isn't a bump. If you see someone bumping (making a post that doesn't change original offer either to clarify what's included or to lower the price), please report it to the Moderators and we'll take care of it.

I wasn't really advocating "bumping", it was just a suggestion as an answer to what the OP was getting at. Otherwise why have so many different sections for that forum?
Maybe I misunderstood why he would like to see different areas for different camera pieces and parts.
I do understand the rules, Thank You.

Would love to see a "One Bump per day" rule like other boards have but whatever, dont really care that much.

The problem with a bump is it will bump someone else down the page which is not fair to them. Then you say they can just bump that one up again but when everybody do that the first page will become a page that moves so fast that the bumps work against itself.

If people really want to buy something, then they should really perform a search of the sale section for what they're after, then it doesn't matter if it's a couple of pages down.

The other advantage of a "no bumping" policy is that if an offer's been ignored for several days, it should be obvious to all (including the offeror) that it needs sweetening. So the only offers on the first (few) pages are those that are new or revised. Old, stale, unappealing ones will sink further and further down the list until they reach oblivion. With bumping, we could conceivably (extreme case) still see, say, a D30 at $2000 on the first page even though the camera's 5 years old and 3 MP; $2000's still less than it listed at new.
