1. You must be a paying member in good standing of S2Ki.com to post in the For Sale forums.

Commercial posts will be removed. If you want to sell commercially or advertise here your going to have to pay to become a site sponsor. This includes parting-out vehicles either as an individual or a business. You must be a sponsor to part out vehicles.

Vehicle part outs and the selling of OEM parts - If you are selling OEM body panels, or any part that originally came with a VIN identification sticker, be prepared to show the stickers intact if the potential buyer asks. Part out of vehicles must have all VIN stickers intact, this is to protect yourself and our members. If you purchase an item without an intact VIN sticker, report the seller to the mods and admins. This includes verification of proof of ownership.

2. There are to be NO third-party for sale threads. You may only sell your own property. Members continually selling multiple parts of the same type may be asked to become a sponsor.

3. When making a For Sale post, please include the following information in the Original Post (OP):

Use this as a template:


Location: City
Means of Contact:
Description:
Price plus OBO is acceptable but no listings without an asking price.
Pictures are very helpful to your buyers.
Do not be lazy and paste a link from another webpage, such as ebay or copy and paste from another ad. Such postings will be removed.

Be clear and to the point, This format is to help you sell your items and to help the buyers with their decision to purchase.

4. You must post a price, no "testing the waters" or "gauging interest" and no PM for offer or auction style threads will be permitted. You have made the decision to sell so you must state an asking price.

5. Negative comments about a person or their parts will be edited/deleted; this includes "helpful" pricing advice. If you have evidence that the seller is a con artist or a bad seller, PM a For Sale moderator and they will take the appropriate action.

6. Please do not post offers publicly, your post will be edited/deleted. Send the seller a PM instead.

7. Do not spam your parts in other people's for sale threads. If you have something to sell, start your own thread.

8. Do not post multiple threads for the same item.

9. Your thread will only get locked or deleted for a reason. If you start another thread about the same thing you will be suspended. PM a For Sale moderator if you have any questions before posting here.

10. Our goal is to keep the ads clean and we would prefer no bumping of threads and no nonsense posting.

Excessive s may get deleted. />

Some tips to help to you from getting scammed

1. BUY & SELL LOCALLY if possible, you can see the product in person.

2. Contact the Community Organizer or post in the regional forum and see if the local people know the seller. If they know where he lives, even better.

3. If seller has very few posts, find reputable members who know him and his address.

4. Get seller's home phone number and verify it by calling. A phone number is better than nothing.

5. Do hw on the person, search his/her posts.

6. If you're selling and have many people interested, sell it to someone who is a member rather than a guest (a cc# is required and a trace is better than being left in the dark)

7. If skeptical, have the seller take a picture of the item with his/her username, date, and time. I know of a forum that requires this.
7a. If skeptical, don't buy. />

8. If you're selling, make sure the check, money order, or paypal is cleared into your account before shipping (DUH)

9. Use Common Sense, if the price is too good to be true .... cmon now.

10. Pay with a credit card if going through paypal. Paypal does not help as much as a credit card company will.

Be very careful when dealing with a guest, especially one that contacts you to buy from or trade. Do some research, check their post history and if they are active in their local community. The forum has very little info on guests, seller beware.
