Sales and Buying Guidelines

[Blackfire]

Sellers:

1. Pick the appropriate section to post. They are pretty self explanatory. If an item is posted in the wrong section, it will be moved for you. You can bump it and request a move also.

2. Properly title/prefix your AD.

Please prefix your ad with:

WTS: (Wanted To Sell)
WTT: (Wanted To Trade)
WTB: (Wanted To Buy)

3. You must post an asking price for your item if it is a WTS.
If it is a trade, list it in the Barter section.
Sales ads without price will be moved to the Barter Section.

4. Post a picture! If you want to sell it, a picture will help. If you need assistance, see the topic about posting pictures in this forum.


5. We don't recommend posting your phone number or e-mail address, for anonymity. Let people PM you.

6. You may bump your own post every other day. Exceptions to this rule:
- 6a. Sold Items - Bumping to report an item sold.
- 6b. New Price - Bumping to announce a lower price.
- 6c. Package Change - Adding or removing items to the deal.

7. If in doubt or if you need a clarification, please e-mail JLong or Blackfire.

8. ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL SALES ON THIS WEBSITE ARE ALLOWED.


Buyers / Browsers:

You are not allowed to freely post comments on classified ADs. This is for the seller and the sanctity of their posting.
Off topic chat or pricing questions (that are out of order) are viewed by most as insulting.
Chat and firearm discussion are to be posted in the discussion sections. Please don't heckle on their price.
Posts in the classifieds section that do not meet the criteria above and below may be removed without warning.

Exceptions:
1. If you have a serious direct question regarding the item.
2. If advice or info is requested by the seller and you can give them an answer.
3. To help the seller post pictures.
4. To say you've PM'd the seller.
5. If you've made a purchase and would like to provide feedback.

What we don't want to see:
1. "Sweet Gun"...etc. This are not constructive to the sale of the item.
2. "You can get this cheaper at xxxx" This one offends most people. If you have concerns on the price, PM the user.
3. "This thread is useless without PICs." We all like to see pics but, some people do not have cameras..etc. Again, these comments are generally considered unfriendly, especially to new users. If anything...PM the user, ask if they have pics and help them post them.
4. A "Bump" from anyone other than the original poster.
5. No replies If a topic states "PM Only". Do not reply to the topic. Only send the original poster a Private Message.

Basically, let's keep the classifieds clean. This section is devoted to sales, not discussion.
