Please read ALL guidelines BEFORE posting

1. Title: Begin all thread titles with the appropriate key: F/S: (For Sale) WTB: (Want to Buy) WTT: (Want to Trade)

2. Price:
  • Seller MUST post an asking price for every item offered for sale - Threads w/o pricing will be removed
  • If pricing is negotiable, consider adding OBO (or best offer), but no open bidding permitted
  • No speculation or "feeler" threads to test the waters - only post actual 'For Sale' threads
  • No "Price Policing" - Do not post dissatisfaction, opinions, or disagreement w/pricing. A seller has the right to ask any price and a potential buyer has the choice to buy, to negotiate, or to walk away

3. Approved Items:
  • Auto-related items only
  • No links or references to eBay or other outside selling sites
  • Private party ads only - NO vendor ads / NO retail or commercial sales
  • No repeats or multiples of the same item sold by the same seller. This forum is intended for occasional private party offerings only; multiples, ongoing, or repeat sales give the appearance of a commercial venture and will be removed. Please apply for a Supporting Vendor account for those offerings
  • No contraband/ illegal items

4. Writing Your Ad:
  • Sellers MUST post ads using the following Template:
    Username:

    Location: Insert Zip Code or City, State (or Providence):

    Preferred Contact Method:
    (PM/Email/Phone):

    Item List:
    Item 1
    Description
    Price and Shipping Terms
    Picture
    ---------------------------------
    Item 2
    Description
    Price and Shipping Terms
    Picture
    ---------------------------------
    Item 3
    Description
    Price and Shipping Terms
    Picture​
  • Sellers MUST include photos & verification as follows:

  1. Photos MUST be included for each item listed
  2. Verification MUST be included in each photo in the form of a sheet of paper with the seller's username and the date to verify the items and photos belong to the seller
This will help reassure potential buyers that the photos were taken by the seller and depict the actual items offered vs. a photo grabbed off the net. Buyers should be aware however, that it is not beyond the realm of possibility that seller photos might be altered. Ads that do not include photos and verification will be removed.
  • One Thread per Seller: Do not create more than one thread for multiple items currently for sale - consolidate all items in the original thread rather than create an additional thread, then modify as needed. Multiple threads may be merged or deleted w/o notice
  • No Outside Links: Do NOT link to other sales websites, forums, or auction sites, including eBay. This forum is only for offerings between members.

5. Replying to an ad:
  • No "Thread Crapping" - DO NOT post a reply if you have no intention of making an offer - this section of the board is NOT a discussion forum. PM all comments, questions, and opinions not directly related to the sale
  • Address all questions to the seller and allow the seller to answer all questions
  • Do not offer 'better price' re-directs or links to someone else's sale
  • Do not offer your item for sale in someone else's F/S thread or outside of the Buy/Sell forum sections

6. Privacy & Personal Info: Do not post personal and/or private information in the public forum such as full name, address, phone number. Keep those details to PM or email

7. The Deal: Conduct actual negotiations via PM or email, the forum does not need to know the details. Don't forget to rate your buyer/seller via iTrader

8. Mark Thread "Sold" or "Found": Make a final "sold" / "found" post as a courtesy to those searching the forum and to stop activity on your thread and allow newer posts to move to the top. "Sold" and older threads may be closed at Admin's discretion. Member's are asked not to post in a thread after it's marked sold/found. Sellers are asked not to remove their 1st post when marking an item as "sold" as it is a helpful reference for future buyers & sellers

9. Disputes: Are not the business of forum members and should be handled privately. If every possible attempt to settle a dispute has been made with no resolution, a negative rating in the member's iTrader profile is permitted. Post comments in a factual manner. For forums that have one, an additional option is to post a thread in the Buyer/Seller/Vendor Review section, following the specific rules of that section

NOTE:
**Handle all transactions with common sense and courtesy - "Buyer Beware" conduct yourself accordingly

**These rules may be changed, or amended, without notice. Failure to comply with the rules will result in the deletion of your thread/post and/or sanctions

**ALL other Forum Rules apply to this section

Disclaimer:
Sellers on this site are in no way related to, or affiliated with, the forum or its agents. This site does not endorse or guarantee sales transactions between users and is not liable. The content of posts and/or threads is the sole responsibility of the user who posted them and all users are responsible for their own actions.

REMINDER:

There has been a significant amount of improperly formatted for sale threads recently.

Its very important that before you post a for sale thread that you follow the above rules, and that you use the template

If your thread does not follow this, it will be deleted and a warning* or infraction** will be given.

* A warning is given on the first violation. It is meant to alert the user and the moderators and admin that the user has been contacted.

** An infraction is given to repeat offenders, and after you receive enough of them the system will ban you.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter,

The staff
