Here are some pretty simple rules to follow if you want to post items for sale or looking for something.
* In some rare cases, pricing every item is not practical or even possible, such as a large estate full of bicycles and parts. Rather than dissuade sellers from offering such opportunities at all, we may allow it. However, before doing so please ask a moderator first for approval.
Thanks and have fun!
- Let's keep in our area of interest. This is pretty broad since we have forums covering 1890's antiques and 1980's mountain bikes, but the bottom line this is a bicycle collectors forum. Oh ya, it's all about bicycles. If you have something that might interest us that is not bicycle related, you may post it in Sell-Trade-Non-Bicycle-Objects.
- Prices required (unless by approval *), or indicate that it's offered for trade. The majority has spoken. We want to see prices of items. You know what you want for a given item. Tell us, we want to know as well. If you are interested in making a trade, please make that clear.
- Your payment terms are required. Do you take PayPal, or do you require a Postal Money Order? We need to know how you expect to be paid.
- Location required. We want to know where the item is. This is pretty easy. You can put your location in your profile under settings.
- Pictures are required and must be of the actual item for sale. Stand-in pictures of a similar item are not sufficient.
- There is a 10 post per day limit in each buy sell trade forum. This is 10 posts total, bumps count toward the 10 posts. If you have more items for sale than that in a given day, consolidate your posts. If you are over the limit, we'll delete the extra posts and re-instate them the following day (at staff discretion.) Excessive overage will result in warning points being applied.
- 6 day bump rule. If your item doesn't sell in 6 days, you can bump it back to the top.
- Mark it sold when it sells. DO NOT DELETE your ad text, photos or price! These should remain for future reference/research purposes.
- No hijacking items for sale. Make your own post.
- Keep negative comments to yourself as far as the item or price goes.
- Watch your language. This a G rated site.
