Title: SECTION RULES - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Post by: dguy on February 22, 2007, 11:50:26 am
Got some dusty, rusty, or otherwise unwanted parts lying around which you'd like to get rid of?  Looking for something which a dealer, parts store, or wrecker can't provide?

Post it here...  If posting a "for sale" ad or responding to someone looking for a particular part, please follow these simple rules:

  • Location, location, location.  A street address isn't necessary, but something more targeted than "North America" would be nice.   ;)  Shoppers like to know whether they can simply go for a drive, have to deal with Canada Post, etc.
  • Price.  You must include an asking price with your ad.  If you're not sure what a reasonable amount to ask would be, try starting a "How much is this bolt worth" -type thread over in General Chat (http://www.fierodrivers.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0), or search through previous ads for ideas.  Please note that online sources such as classified ads and/or eBay do not always reflect the local going rate for an item.
  • Contact information.  Don't be silly and ask that interested buyers contact you via e-mail, if you have your profile set up to hide your e-mail address.  Also please note that even if you request e-mail or telephone contact, interested buyers may reply to your thread or attempt to contact you via Personal Message.  Failure to log in and check for replies to your ad or for personal messages may result in a lost sale.

The author of an post which does not respect these rules, can expect to recieve a friendly request to modify their message.  Failure to correct a post in a reasonable amount of time when requested, will result in the message's deletion.  Sorry, but you can't just click-and-run here.  :)


edited to add: Please do not be insulted if in response to an ad, you receive an offer which you feel is "low-balling" you.  Never forget that something which may look like gold to you, may look like pyrite to somebody else.
