For Sale/Wanted/Trade Rules
In an effort to make the sale forum better for all, and to protect all involved, there a few rules for that forum. Any threads not adhering to these rules may be removed without notice by the administrative staff.
For All Sale and/or Trade Threads
- No "Noobs": Which means you have to have at least enough posts to be ranked "Crotch Rocket Cowboy" (10 or more posts at this time). No point in us hosting a sale for someone who will never return. If you post lots of crap just to hit the threshold and post a sale thread, your account and thread will be removed.
- Price: Prices are required, even if it's "or best offer." We're not an auction site. If you're not sure what it's worth, check KBB (www.kbb.com), NADA (www.NADAguides.com), CycleTrader (www.CycleTrader.com) or even good ol' Craig's List (www.craigslist.com) to figure it out.
- Picture: Provide a picture (your own picture) or a link to your picture of the item for sale. Please get your pictures ready before you post the thread; don't post with a note that you'll post them later. If you can't upload a pic for some reason, ask an administrator or moderator for help.
- Location: Where is the item? Are you willing to ship or deliver? If your location is not clear on your user profile, you must include this in the thread.
