Read me before posting! UPDATED RULES FOR THIS FORUM!
Marketplace Forums
Updated 6/9/2012
The Marketplace Forums are available to contributing members and sponsors of 6speedonline. It offers a place for members to buy and sell occasional personal items and for vendors to sell their products. The Marketplace Forums are not intended as a venue for a non sponsoring commercial business to sell their products. If you would like to be a vendor, please contact Internet Brands at (888)879-0146. To keep the general forums clear from advertisements, items for sale should be limited to the Marketplace Forums only.
To search only vendors, change your search parameters and choose from "Private" or "Vendor Listing." If you believe there is a fraudulent transaction in process, or have serious concerns about a post, please report the post to the moderators by clicking on "report post."
Moderators reserve the right to take action and edit threads at any time. Repeated violations of these rules will result in either a temporary or permanent ban. The rules for the Marketplace will be strictly enforced.

Here are the guidelines. Enjoy the forums, and good luck with your sale.
Do...
...post an asking price in your sale thread (this is mandatory), and fill the query boxes as completely as possible.
All items for sale (members and sponsors) require a price to be listed. No exceptions. If you list a price in the title, you will not be able to change it.
...post appropriate positive comments.
Keep in mind, listed items are part of an member's advertisement...negative comments may detract from a member's ability to sell their item.
...include actual photographs.
Actual photographs (not internet picture grabs or vendor images) are mandatory for every item being sold in this forum.
...report irregularities or problems on the forum to a moderator.
...before posting a group buy members must submit the group buy to a moderator to obtain admin approval.
Do not...
...sell firearms or ammunition. No exceptions
...post sale threads on forums outside the Marketplace or Watches section.
To keep the general forums free from commerce traffic, refrain from posting items for sale in sections outside the Markplace or Watches section. All "want to buy" and "for sale" threads will be deleted from the general forums. No exceptions.
...post sale threads for friends or relatives without prior moderator approval.
...comment about price in someone else's thread or hijack a thread by going off topic.
If you would like to negotiate the price, do it via PM. Do not comment about the price being too high. Do not make negative remarks or inflammatory comments about items that are for sale.
...piggy back your own sale or WTB on someone else's thread.
Create your own thread. Do not hijack someone else's thread with your own items.
...bump your thread unless there have been a minimum of at least 7 days with no activity.
...specific to the Watches forum, watches for sale by members must be "like new in box" not new.

A friendly reminder, all items listed in this forum require a price to be listed. If you would like to negotiate a price, please do so by PM. Prices are required to prevent auctioning items to "the highest bidder" and playing one member against another...if you would like to sell by these tactics, please chose eBay or other auctioning sites. Think of this forum as a local swap meet among enthusiasts and friends.
Please note, 6speedonline supports the sale and transaction between enthusiasts. However, if you use 6speed as an extension of your private business, soliciting sales and transactions, you are in violation of forum rules.

Clarification on asking price.
Prices listed on 6speed should reflect what you want to receive or pay for an item. We do not condone auctioning...specifically pitting one member against another for the "highest price."
When you list a price on 6speed, please make sure this is the price you expect to receive.

After reviewing the poll last month, there was an overwhelming consensus among members who participated that 6speed implement a mandatory photo policy for items for sale.
Effective this weekend, photographs will be mandatory for every item being sold in this forum.
The photo can not be a stock photo, or a photo used from a vendor or the internet. It must be taken by the selling party, and must include the item, and ideally, it should include a piece of paper with the seller's user name and date of the photo.
While some members had objections to this policy, the overwhelming number of members here voted for the change in policy. Nearly every case of fraud in the last 18 months has come from a seller who fails to ship an item - in each case there was no photo.
For those items posted before this weekend, we ask that members be compliant and add photos, although they will be exempt from the new regulations. Buyer beware.
Sponsoring vendors may post as per routine and are exempt from this policy.

Effective immediately, posting requirements have been lifted. Members are free to post to this forum regardless of membership length or number of posts.
Buyers should be always aware of members who have not established themselves with any reputation.
