HOW IT WORKS
This is an auction. (Bicycle related stuff only please.) Post your item or collection of items (bike stuff only please) to be sold as a lot. Include plenty of good pics and a comprehensive description, along with what you'll charge for shipping and how you'd like to receive payment.​
Interested buyers will make an offer via reply to the thread. Ex: "I'd give you $250", to which you as the seller will reply "DEAL" or "NO DEAL."​
No more bids should be placed after a deal has been made. A deal is a deal!​
If you've made a deal, please mark the item as SOLD.​

BID INCREMENTS
Bids must be an increase of at least 10% over the previous bid, or as specified by seller. This will keep the flow going without nonsese such as $1 increments. If the bid is over $1,000, from then on, $100 increments are okay.​

CROSS POSTING
Items made available on theCABE's Deal Or No Deal classified forum cannot be made available anywhere else. This includes any fixed pricing, or other auction style sites. This is to eliminate any possible confusion from arising.​

TWENTY-FOUR HOURS
A potential buyer is only bound to their offer for 24 hours. If a seller accepts the offer after that period, completing the purchase is the discretion of the buyer.​
Sellers are required to respond to the most recent bid within 24 hours.​

BACKDOOR DEALS
Directly contacting a seller/buyer to purchase/sell an item posted here is not allowed. This includes messaging to see what offer they will take, We have very little patience for this, repeat offenders will lose access to Deal Or No Deal.​

NO COMMENTARY
Do not post un-necessary comments. Keep them related to details about the item, payment, or shipping. Comment privileges are for seriously interested users only.​

POST REQUIREMENTS
You must include clear photos of the item from multiple angles. Include shipping and payment requirements as well, e.g. PayPal, Check, Money Order, etc. Any pertinent information regarding the item should be included as well. Do not delete your post after the sale is completed. It should remain intact for future reference. We have very little patience for this, repeat offenders will lose access to Deal Or No Deal.​

POSTING LIMIT
You may post FIVE items per day. This limit will help to encourage the listing of good quality, desirable items. You'll also be able to more easily manage and give the needed attention to all of your listing.​

BUMPING
There is no bumping of the post with DOND. Replies by interested buyers or yourself will not bump the listing. Old listings get pushed further down the list until they are either sold or withdrawn, at which time they'll be archived.​
WITHDRAWING
If you aren't able to reach a satisfying bid within a reasonable amount of time, or if you simply change your mind about selling it, you may withdraw your item as long as you haven't already replied with DEAL. Please mark it WITHDRAWN. Withdrawing an item to accept a back-door deal via email etc. is not permitted.​

Very glad to see that the auction listings will remain intact after the sale. Archived sold listings are what makes eBay the resource that it is when trying to determine fair market value - and what makes sites like Craigslist of little or no worth. This feature will add that same value of resource to this site. Bravo! 👍
