The For Sale section is provided for the benefit of individual members to buy and sell items, not for businesses to make money.
Businesses are not allowed to use the For Sale section unless they have Trader status. PM mods/admin for details.
1. The car should be clear of any finance attached to it eg hire purchase liabilities, lease commitments etc – if there is still finance outstanding then this must be explicity stated.
2. A sale thread’s initial post must state a firm asking price. Of course you can haggle, but an initial price must be stated. A post simply asking for offers or conducting a PM auction is not allowed. A price must be stated in initial post.
3. Leave an email address for contacting.
4. The thread CANNOT be a link to an Ebay auction (or any similar off-site auction), or a jump page that leads to an Ebay auction. The CTROF Classifieds space is not meant to be used to gather attention to a potential bidding war.
5. “Thread crapping” will not be tolerated. If you do not intend to buy and have nothing positive to add to the sale, refrain from posting in the thread. This includes stating “the price is too high”, if you think the price is too high, inform seller via the PM service or an E-MAIL. If you think your post may be in any way interpreted as being “thread crapping” then take the safer route and send your message via PM or E-MAIL to the seller.
6. Most importantly, buyer and seller beware.
7. One bump a day please….pick your time wisely.
8. Once a sale has been completed it is the sellers duty to change the title of the thread to have “SOLD” at the beginning or end of the title.
