Rules for posting in the Classifieds Forums

In an effort to clean up the classifieds, we are requiring that all classifieds posts be in the following formats:

1) If you are selling a part:

(Example FS: Item Name, Price)

2) If you are selling an automobile:

(Example FS: Year, Make, Model, Mileage, Price, Location)

3) If you are parting out a car:

(Example Parting Out: Year, Make, Model)

- Please include the parts that you are parting out in one post, and include prices for each part.

4) If you want to purchase an item:

(Example WTB: Item Name)

5) If you want to trade an item:

(Example WTT: Item Name for Item Name)

6) If you want to trade an automobile for another item or automobile:

(Example WTT: Year, Make, Model, Mileage for Item Name)

Furthermore, we will not allow all CAPS thread titles, or distracting characters such as ">", "*", "!", "~", etc. The thread title MUST be in a format presented above INCLUDING a price, or the thread will be removed. Also, all threads must be in the proper forum. A thread that is selling wheels must be in the respective wheels and tires classifieds forum, not in the model specific forum that those wheels came from.

Also, the classifieds are not a place to voice an opinion on a product. Questioning the value/price, linking to the same or similar item, or posting in an attempt to devalue the objects being sold is forbidden. If you wish to question the value, IM the seller. Do not reply to a classifieds thread unless you are interested in the item. This will cut down on the traffic in the classifieds, which will result in less people bumping their topics, and making it easier to find what you are looking for. Once your item has sold, or you have found what you are looking for, please make a note of that in your thread.

Tickets for events must be sold at face-value or less.

If you are interested in gathering a market value for your item, please be sure to use the Search feature to see what similar items have been selling for. Check both the recent topics, and the archived topics.

Items that are not to be sold in the classifieds are:

- Firearms

- Animals

- Tobbaco

- Illegal copies of software, repair manuals, etc

Please be aware that the Advertising Rules and Regulations are still in effect (see below), and you must be an advertiser if you would like to post commercially.

These new classifieds rules will be strictly enforced for all new threads. Existing threads that don't fit this format will be allowed to complete their sale, and then will be archived.

If you have any questions, please refer to this thread in the Suggestion Box forum.

Thanks.
