Classifieds Forum Rules

Definitely post a price. That way there's not 50 posts asking "How much" and 50 replies of "PM'd you".

a suggestion i have is that a a rule be made that a price must be posted. that eliminates all the lowballing and things. if people say make an offer then that results in a lot of people making rediculous offers. and people getting outbid for something they thought they had. i mean if you want people to fight over it take it to ebay.

Haggling over price is half the fun of trading... Besides it is better to haggle with Friends here on AO than strangers on Ebay.

On the UP messages, our mothers should have taught us to clean up... When you add a new up message, delete the old ones. You are only hurting yourself by having 4 pages of replies that are only your UPs...

Ebay

would it be possible to do something about people just coming onto the site to just post a link of what they got on ebay? Arent we to do the business on this site? its something that bothers me and probably many others here.

I think we should not allow them to live for doing that.

Sounds fair.

Is a "highest bidder by such and such date, gets the item" thread allowed?

Many thanks

NO

#10. No bidding, see Rule #2. This is NOT an Auction style listing section, if you want that then use an Auction site to buy your items.

Thats cool, at least I asked, as I wasnt sure.

Many thanks.

Offers vs auction

If willing to accept offers how does one keep the thread from becoming an auction? Is it acceptable to take offers via private message? Are offers permitted within the post's thread?

Are "or best offer" (OBO) listings allowed, where a price is listed but offers still accepted?
