For Sale posts are a Zero Tolerance Item. Threads and posts can and will be deleted without further notice if you do not follow the instructions below to the letter. No EXCEPTIONS. Screwing up, is a great way to end up on the moderator's asshat list and our longterm memory is great. You don't want to mess around with this priviledge because your screw-up will be advertised to the other moderators of this board.
Paying members of S2ki.com have the ability to list and sell items on the S2ki.com Marketplace. Unfortunately, the S2ki.com Marketplace does not have the capability to list and sell products on a regional basis. This feature will be included in with the revised S2ki.com Classifieds section due to roll-out sometime later this year.
As a stop-gap measure, we will allow local PacNW members to post For Sale threads in the PacNW forums ONLY. You must follow a few rules in order to post a for sale thread in this forum without it being deleted.
1. You must have a PacNW member badge. Your screenname is on a database, so we know who is kosher and who is not. Adding the badge to your signature line without fulfilling a REQUEST is a short ticket to getting banned. This is a hardcore policy and not open to discussion.
2. You may only post for sale topics on products you own. Further "you may not sell items purchased for retail sale". When you purchase something with the intention of reselling rather than using it that's resale, it's commercial and it's not permitted unless you are a sponsor. It doesn't matter if the parts are new or used, reconditioned or scrap.
3. You may only place for sale automotive related merchandise. For example: Toasters, iPods, Desktop Computers, and Escort Services fail to meet this definition. Automotive audio equipment, suspension parts, tires, helmets, and Formula1 tickets are good examples of allowed items.
4. The thread title will begin with one of the following strings(without quotation marks): "FS:" for For Sale threads, "WTB:" for Want to Buy threads, and "WTT:" for Want To Trade threads.
5. When the a sale is completed for the item, you CLOSE the thread. PM me if don't already know how to do this.
6. You know the first five rules and recite them while talking in your sleep.
Great ways to get your thread deleted without notification:
1. Posting a reply for the sole purpose of getting a "BUMP". Legal bumps include supplying additional product/service information, discussion on an unrelated topic (aka HIJACK), acknowledging the reception of a PM, and/or stating that a buyers status has changed.
2. Redundant For Sale Topics. In other words, linking a for sale thread when the product is already listed on another forum like s2ki.com, Craigslist, Honda-Tech, Ebay, or MyLittlePony.com. If you have another listing service available, use it. The privilege to post a for sale thread in the PacNW forum is for a targeted audience and is meant to be used in lieu of other advertising methods. If there is a better place to advertise, use that and don't post the item in the PacNW.
3. Interjecting your for sale topic on another thread. Posting in someone else's for sale thread that you have the same product cheaper/better/shinier. If you can't respect somebody else's for sale thread, then you don't deserve your own.
These rules take effect: Tuesday February 21st, 2006. Existing for sale threads are exempt, but posters should make every effort to be a good citizen and fall into compliance. Non-compliant threads will be closed Monday February 27th, 2006 without further notice.
