For Sale Section rules. Please read before posting.

Cass

There are rules in the for sale section that are continuously being ignored, not read, or not followed. Nothing new has being introduced within the last 6 months giving enough time for anyone posting there to have read them and understand what is necessary.

However threads are still being started without the necessary details so for clarity reasons here is what is needed.


For Sale Adverts.

• Detailed description of the item(s) being sold. Condition, new/second hand, usage, history, etc.
• Price you are seeking. No invites for offers, a definitive price. You are free to refuse any offers made on this price, but a price must be posted.
• Pictures of the item(s). Not something you have taken from a another site (against copyright laws) but an actual picture of the item(s) in your possession. How many is up to you, but obviously the more the merrier.

Wanted Adverts.

• An exact description, or to the best of your ability, of the item being sought. What it is you need it for, and if necessary certain makes/models you want or don't.
• A rough budget. IOW if you are looking for a scope and have €500 to spend then put this up. No point inviting offers of Swarovski, Nightforce, etc if they exceed your budget.
• No random opinion threads. Please do not post a thread in the for sale section seeking opinions on make models that is what the main fora are for.
• No "anyone know of a shop that does X, Y, Z". A thread asking about certain shops will answer all your questions. If you post a wanted advert in the for sale/wanted section it is because you are seeing if any other member has such an item for sale. not if they have a link to e-bay, etc.

The for sale /wanted section was created for our members to safely sell items that are prohibited on most other sites due to them being gun related. Ideally we would like all items being sold, and being sought to be among our members, but most times (primarily wanted adverts) end up as a recommendation thread for various sites, shops, etc, etc. Furture threads that end this way will be moved to the relevant forum, and out of the for sale section.



Any threads posted without the details relevant to their status will be removed without notification. If you don't have pictures then wait until you do before posting the advert. Do not post a thread with the promise of pictures, price, more details later. It will be removed.


This notice is being posted across all fora for one day so people can read the rules, and understand what is required. It is a notification to be mindful, and not a chastisation.

Just an update.

We have now got a new drop down option for the For Sale section. The "Free" option.

If anyone has an item, hunting dog, etc that they wish to pass on free of charge or to re-home then they post the advert as normal, but use the Free option instead of for sale.


Hopefully this will bring more attention to the items that are free, and confusion created from using for sale tag for a free item will disappear.


Thanks.
