For Sale Thread

info on how to use this thread.
to those that wish to post their personal items for sale here, they may do so. let's try to keep it more in the renewable area, but at this point i have no objection to selling your kitchen table. if it gets too much like the flea market down the road we may reconsider what items can be placed into the thread.

no commercial sales will be allowed without prior approval and note that we reserve the right to take away anybody's privileges to post personal ads in this thread. those wishing any posts resembling commercial, for approval you need to contact one of the mods via report thread as this insures all mods are notified of the request and specify "requesting for sale posting permission" or something similar so it is differentiated from an actual complaint. we may also delete any posts as they get old (2 months) as they would waste data space, but we will try to extend the courtesy to the poster to keep track of their own post and should an item get sold or changed in some way to invalidate the post that the original poster should notify a moderator so that changes can be made. as a courtesy to others, if an item sells or is taken off the market it should be so noted by the seller of the item to the moderators. also we moderators will not intervene for contacts to find out if somebody is or is not still selling something. notification of it being sold or to be taken off the market will need to be done by the seller to a moderator so use report post to moderators by the poster and specify what post to delete. if one does not see the post any longer, one can consider it off the market. if one asks us for some special consideration in keeping a post active longer it doesn't hurt to ask any one of us and we will modify the post to indicate the approval for the extension is given and until when. we aren't nazis, but we must maintain some semblance of order and intent on the posts and you may find we are willing to bend some at times.

for the poster, please give details of the item(s) being sold and one can post a price in the post, but any negotiations and arrangements shall be via private messaging or other private means. please do not give phone numbers, addresses, and other personal info in the post. doing so isn't against the rules, but it is not a wise thing to do.

only one post per item or group of items shall be allowed. this will facilitate it all to be in one spot without having to jump around to see if the price dropped or whatever. updating a post may require the help of a moderator and can even be the elimination of the original post to allow a better and more complete post to replace it. in cases of more than 1 post for an item the posts will need to have a moderator's approval written into the post.

of note to all moderators-
all special (commercial) permissions granted or revoked shall be noted between us privately to avoid arguments of why one can or can't post and such arguments may not be looked upon well by us as some have tried such arguments in the past for other reasons.

as indicated earlier, we are implementing a 2 month trial time limit. this would start by the initial time stamp on the post or when indicated by a moderator as the start date. we ask that by the end of that time period that the original poster notify us if the post is to be renewed or deleted. we reserve the right to delete the post.
