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

routinely post items for sale or trade on these boards. Contact Mod
for details.

NO auctions, links to auctions, or links to online sales currently
running on other forums or commercial sites.

the forum:
Reloaded ammunition will not be allowed to be
bought, sold or traded on our forum.
5:
STATE A PRICE
If
you have an item to sell then you must state a price. This is not a
site to solicit offers. It is allowed to state something such as
price is $250 or best offer, but there has to be a price listed.
6:WTS
or WTT or WTS/WTT
These
title descriptors must be used – Wanted To Sell – Wanted To

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:
Bumping back to the top will only be
allowed starting 7 days (one Week) from the date of the original
posting and then every 7 th. day after that.
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
If
an item(s) sell, please mark these as sold. If an item does not sell
and you have decided you no longer wish to have the item listed –
you must update your ad stating the item is no longer
available.
please mark these as sold or if it’s sold pending
funds, then please edit the original posting to include this
information.
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
No
one may post links or information on sales.
13.
MULTIPLE USERNAMES ARE NOT ALLOWED
You
must use ONE and only ONE username for listings on these boards.

from the site.
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.
Make
sure your post topic is descriptive.
Add as much information, or
describe the part you are looking for as well as you can.
After
you find your elusive item, come back and edit the post topic and
add, “FOUND!” to the end of it. It will provide positive feedback
and let everyone know the forum is helpful.
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.
17:
"I'll take it's" Which as a reminder are to be in the
THREAD not in a PM on our forum we consider to be a binding
commitment to buy/sell.
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:
Restricted
selling: The only acceptable wording in a For Sale ad if it must be
(Restricted selling) is "not
for sale where restricted by law"
or something similar.
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:
You MUST give an approximate location. State & County
at a minimum This
to allow both buyer & seller to be compliant with all applicable
local, state & federal laws.
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.
For
Sellers:
You MUST give an approximate location. State & County
at a minimum.
This to allow both buyer & seller to be compliant with all
applicable local, state & federal laws.
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.
Receiving a payment and not sending the
item in a timely manner is not acceptable. If you cannot send the
item within 48 hours of receiving the payment, make sure to let the
buyer know this up-front.
Failing to deliver the item at all is
both Wire and Postal Fraud.
Your
local ATF office can assist you with any questions you may
