Topic: Buy / Sell sub forum rules. Posted: November 20 2019 at 11:39am |
Please read & understand these rules BEFORE posting. We aren't a high volume buy trading forum thats not what we're about. the trader is a courtesy service for our members. We've debated the kind of free flow thing before but now we regrettably need to have some rules in place for all our protection. Here they are, please take a minute to check them out so we can continue to offer the service with no drama. To make use of this board you must read, understand, and agree to the following. By using this board you are by default stating that you have read, understood, and agree to the rules and standards below. ********************GENERAL DISCLAIMER********************
We do not stand behind any sellers nor buyers, so buy, sell, or trade at your own risk.
************************************************** ************** NOTE: This section is moderated, any infraction of the rules, can & may result in your post being locked, removed or changed at the moderators discretion. The
only items allowed in any of the For Sale areas are Firearms and
closely related items only (i.e. accessories, ammunition, bayonets,
shooting gear, reloading etc.). 1:The For Sale section is available to anyone with a minimum of 10 posts and 30 days membership on the forums. This is to cut down on the number of people who sign-up just sell their items. This section is meant for active members of the board. If you are a long standing member with a low post count contact a Moderator and we can help you out.
2:
NO COMMERCIAL POSTINGS 3:
NO LINKS TO AUCTIONS currently running on other sites.
4: Reloaded Ammunition NOT allowed For Sale in the forum: Reloaded ammunition will not be allowed to be bought, sold or traded on our forum.
5:
STATE A PRICE
6:WTS
or WTT or WTS/WTT
7:COMMENTS
AND CHAT ARE NOT ALLOWED.
8: DO NOT HI-JACK FOLKS ADVERTISEMENTS BY TELLING PEOPLE YOU PAID LESS OR MORE OR REFERRING TO SIMILAR OR SAME PRODUCT OFF SITE. If you just have to do such, please use the PM or email, not a response/post in someone’s individual classified.
9: BUMPING or BACK TO TOP. Bumping or Back to Top(BTT) is allowed, but only by the following guideline:
Excess use of this type of post is not fair to new ad posters who are trying to sell their items. A comment will be considered a bump when an intentional comment, knowing that your ad will be brought to the top, appears.
10:
MARK YOUR ITEMS AS SPF, SOLD OR NO LONGER FOR SALE
11: IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO PURCHASE AN ITEM DO NOT MAKE COMMENTS like "I would buy that but I just bought a new Lear Jet and will have to wait until next paycheck". This is irrelevant information and is not appreciated by anyone, especially the seller.
12.
NO LISTINGS OR LINKS TO COMMERCIAL SALES
13.
MULTIPLE USERNAMES ARE NOT ALLOWED
14: IF YOUR ITEM IS LISTED ON MORE THAN THIS SITE THE POST MUST STATE THIS FACT. THIS APPLIES TO OTHER WEBSITES & ANY ONLINE OR RETAIL SALES OUTLET OR AUCTION HOUSE OR BOARD.
15:"LOOKING
FOR......": BELOW ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS AND FEW HOUSEKEEPING
RULES. 15: Any difficulties between a buyer and seller should be brought to the immediate attention of a moderator.
16:
Not all email clients are alike; some members do not get PM
notifications. As a result we must take action to protect our
members. Starting now, all questions, offers and "I'll take it"
must be done in the actual for sale thread. NO PM's. The only way out of if is if both parties work out an agreement to undo the sale. In other words, moderator intervention is not needed. This protects all from false expectations, keeps everything above board and the playing field level. After the sale is agreed upon, private information should use alternate methods (PM's Emails). Corrections to potential misrepresentations should also be in the public view, but must be in good taste and adhere to existing rules.
18: Sellers have the right to not sell to an individual based on forum knowledge (our forum or others) or from advice of members, because of this they may decline to sell to an individual, but must apprise a moderator of their intention before doing so. The declination must not be based on race, gender, religion, or political beliefs.
19:
Restricted Sales to Certain States/Cities:
Members who violate any of the above or involve deceit, or any-other unethical practices may be banned from using this section after the Forum Owner and Moderators review both sides of the transaction. Notice that we have banned several users from the For Sale area. These choices were made to protect the users of this forum. Keep in mind an agreement to purchase or buy, we consider a binding agreement. If you aren't sure, don't offer to sell or buy.
20: Members auction items. Are not permitted, this is not an auction site. (see rule 5 above)
For
Buyers: When purchasing an item from this site it is highly recommended that YOU pay for the item using a method that can be traced. i.e., a Postal Money Order, an on line payment company, a certified check, etc. When using the Post Office, a signature delivery is the safest way to go. Make sure that you keep records of the transaction to the seller and any emails setting up the deal until you have the item in hand.
You
word is your bond. If you fail to receive the payment, contact the
seller ASAP to allow time for tracking the payment. Keep records of
your emails/phone calls.
Your
local ATF office can assist you with any questions you may
have: |
