In an effort to improve the "For sale" section we´ve come up with a few new rules to help tidy things up a bit. We need everyone´s help on this one and its by no means the final version, consider it a small update, but it´ll do for a start! ;D The new rules! „Cars for sale section”The seller should put the following details in the Title.. and only these details... Year - Car -Price - Location e.g 1980 MKIII Capri 500 Quid - Preston (sorry I don´t have the Pounds sign on my keyboard ;D) 2. We´d like all adverts to use the following matrix so that they contain all information and save everyone asking for details etc... Just copy and paste this over and add your details as necessary: Model:
Year:
Mileage:
Tax:
MOT:
Pics:
Location:
Price:
Contact details:Watertesting, putting out feelers, etc etc will be binned. If you want to sell fine, fill out the form properly and sell…..if you don´t it´s going in the bin….. if you can´t be bothered why should we?3. Swaps, WHY, please put in the wanted section. 4. Anyone with less than 100 Posts should PM me there name, address and tel. No. The forum cannot be held responsible for any of the transactions made but we don´t want people getting mucked around. If you are new (ish) to the forum, drop me a line so we know who you are….To clarify this point, anyone (even with only 1 post) can put up stuff for sale, all they have to do is drop me PM with their details. ;D 5. One of the reasons why the adverts fall so quick off page 1 is that everyone is bumping their adverts up regularly. One "self bump" ( god that sounds painful ;D) per day, is allowed, any more and the thread will be locked and will fall off the bottom! 6. Only one car per advert please These rules are for new adverts, if you can change your old adverts to fit in that would be great and you might just find your "old advert" back up top again  If everyone plays the game and makes a bit of effort then there will be no need to moderate it at all….. No pics, no location etc = no effort...it´s getting binned, no warning, no apologies! Cheers, Dave |

Great  I know most people abide by these rules anyway so it shouldn't affect the majority. |

Nice work Dave - smells like a WIN!! Please please PLEASE make pics/photos compulsory! As you've said - "if you can't be bothered why should we?" Surely this applies to peeps who can't be bothered to get some shots?? Those pics make all the difference and without them, there might as well be no advert. Keep up the good work... |

Not everyone knows how to put up photos MM .. so I don't want to discourage people from advertising on here. However people should be encouraged to put up photos I think 100 posts is quite a lot. I don't want to get in the situation where we miss out of people posting up something for sale because they are intimidated by the rules. I guess keeping name/address on file is a good way around this, but make sure that it is 100% clear. |

If someone is struggling to host/post photos up I'm happy to oblige if it helps a sale? I'm sure there are others on here happy to share the wealth as well - after all, that's what makes this forum tick. ;D |

I personally don´t think photos are a must, it´ll obviously easier to sell with pics but not everyone is in a postion to put them up. There won´t be any threads deleted just because there are no photos in the advert. To clarify the point, anyone (even with only 1 post) can put up stuff for sale, all they have to do is drop me PM with their details. ;D |

Another thing - can people please alter the advert to say 'SOLD' when the item has actually gone, just like Matt Jones does with his posts. As i am tired of seeing something interesting from a week or two ago and then being told it went ages ago  |

OBergruppenkapitan, do we follow the same format for parts for sale? Or will you be posting a slightly dif matrix to cut and paste for that?
(I have a set of Dodge Hemi heads I wish to list for a fiver, so I'm just trying to make sure I don't goof it up. ;D)
Edit: Oh, and under #3, what does "WHY" acronym mean? Wanted Hollow Yams? What He Yelps? Westphalian Hausfraus Yummy? or.....?

Sounds brilliant to me. Only one thing I'd (humbly) question is where you mention 'swaps or why': will it be ok to say that in an advert for an item as long as the price of the item for sale is included? For example: '1983 Ford Escort (then description of car, location etc etc) £695 ono or swap or part-exchange for why'.
Hope that makes sense!

The rules seems OK to me. What was the conclusion about comments in people's for sale threads? I'm guilty of just posting to compliment the car or the price or whatever sometimes... is this still acceptable? I think stupid "oh if only I hadn't lost my shoes this morning I'd be over there like a shot to buy it" kind of BS should be discouraged, as well as negative comments about the car / price. Just my opinion like. |

As long as there´s a price up there´s not a problem mate. ;D If you the want to go for a swap or discuss it on your for sale thread then that´s what this place is for!!! The rules seems OK to me.

Just my opinion like. I think if it´s a genuine question or compliment then why not, it´s when it starts getting negative that we have to be careful. If you´ve got nothing nice to say (or write in this case) then don´t say anything at all eh... |

That hopefully is still allowed, but i think the sellers own bumpage is frowned upon, as well as the 'my sister's neighbour's cat would have had this, if she could drive' type of post. |

Cant see why someone cant bump their own ad if its 4 pages down the list and hasnt sold. The only alternative would be to post a new advert.

Yes thats ok, but we have someone who has posted a car in the For Sale section and they have bumped the thread about 5 times since the 1st of Feb (3 bumps in the same day). thats what should be frowned upon. |
