Selling Rules:

You must have 15 posts in order to post here.

All posts must list an item’s price. Auction style posts, and/or posts that do not have an item price listed are not allowed and will be deleted. The ONE exception is TRADE posts, and this is only for ads that are strictly inquiring for trades. Any "Trade" posts that are clearly fishing for cash offers will also be deleted.

Under no circumstances may users post suggesting that a listed item may be found elsewhere at a cheaper price. It is the responsibility of the buyer to search for the best deal. This should be a safe, friendly environment for members to sell their items without being undercut within their own threads.

No "feeler" ads. Before you post, you must be committed to selling.

If you make an offer to purchase or sell, it is a binding agreement. Any questionable dealings will be subject to moderator review. The consequence could be restricted access to 5thscale Racing Forum or a temporary/permanent ban.

RESPONSIBILITY
All sales conducted within the 5thscale Racing Forums are the sole responsibility of the person(s) involved. 5thscale Racing Forum, and it’s staff will not be held responsible.

Do not post your personal address on these forums. The forums are viewable by anyone, and information posted here such as your address would be freely available to anyone. Keep that information strictly to Private Message or E-mail.

If a deal seems suspicious, or too good to be true, then it may be. Check the user’s profile and search for that individual’s feedback in the Trader Feedback section. Please report such threads to the moderators.

You are also responsible for posting Trader Feedback after the sale is completed. Please post such information in a prompt manor, as this information may be used by other potential buyers.

COURTESY
Please post listings within the correct forums.

Please include preferred contact information within your listing. This can include your e-mail address or Instant Messenger service handle.

No random comments! Only post if you are interested in buying or selling items on the boards. Random and/or useless posts should be reported to the moderators to be deleted.

One “bump” or “TTT” per day. If you surpass this, the thread may be locked and/or removed.

Common courtesy should be "first come/first served". However, if your intention is to deal with the quickest purchase commitment, then please state that in your post. Issues of buyer favoritism will be subject to review.

Seller Suggestions:
Titles should also be clear and concise. The less confusing the title is, the easier it is for a potential buyer to find the item they are looking for.

Pictures are extremely helpful in selling items. They should be actual photos of the item you are selling, and not those from websites or ebay. If they are not your photos, they should not be on your listing. Any post with a "borrowed" pic or pics will be deleted.

Image hosting is free through 5thscale Racing Forum (your Gallery), by attaching the images to your post. Please utilize this feature, as it is convenient both for buyers and sellers.

If you do not have a digital camera, definitely try to borrow one, or take advantage of film processing with the “Photo CD” option. This extra option generally costs less than $4 per CD and is a simple way to get photos of the item you are selling.

Buyer Suggestions:
Always check a user’s feedback before dealing with them. You can check in the Trader Feedback forum using 5thscale Racing Forum's Search feature. It is also suggested to ask for references. Check the user’s profile for their registration date. You may want to take extra precautions for newly registered users.

Buyers should let sellers know when they’ve made payment. Information such as when PayPal transactions were made, or when Money Orders have been mailed is useful. This communication should be direct between the 2 parties (not posted in the ad).

TREAT EACH OTHER WITH RESPECT.

LEGAL:
DISCLAIMER: 5thscaleracingforum.com, its owners take no responsibility for information that is posted within its forums. We (5thscaleracingforum.com Owners) do not encourage nor allow the sale of stolen items on our board. Any and all members that post such items will take FULL responsibility for their actions.
