Rules for Posting in Forsale Forum... Mods we need a sticky with all the rules in this forum....
If any mods read this... i suggest a new forsale forum rule... all threads must have an asking price if something is forsale.... all of these posts are garbage, and would have weeded out a lot of people with a price, might have been too high, scared off people, or been really cheap, and sold already....
I guess i just see this as a flaw on this site, because threads will go on for 3 pages with people asking for prices on stuff and the guys says to PM him or email him.... no that's garbage, we don't need people taking up extra thread space when the price needs to be upfront so people know whether there is a reason for them to post if they are interested or not... a couple other forums that i browse have this same, rule and they post a warning to the thread started to add prices or else it will be deleted... always works, and always makes people happy...
www.tampabaydsm.org is one... i can list some more if you need more info on it... but just figured i'd put this one out there...
WE NEED A RULES STICKY!!! and then stand by them!

heres a great example from clubcivic.com http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=9573
if your lazy, heres the text copy and patsed:
\\\\\ \\\\\ \\\\\ \\\\\
NO NEWBIE SELLERS
your must have over 50 post in order to post here in the FS forum, if you dont your thread will be deleted and you will be notified of it, or it will be locked.
\\\\\ \\\\\ \\\\\ \\\\\
If you want to post a for sale thread it must include AT LEAST the following info........ if it does not then don't bother posting it. by including the following info you, the seller, can make a sale happen that much quicker................
1) location
2) price
3) contact info
i also highly recommend that you include pictures of your item(s) in the thread..... as stated, it makes everyone's life easier.
\\\\\ \\\\\ \\\\\ \\\\\
Please keep all of your items in one post and make it easier for everyone to go through. There is no need to make a new post for every items that your are tryin to sell.
we should also have a list of scammers or members thru this site to be aware/caution of.

yes yes and hell yes. it is so annoying when people don't know how much they want for their item. especially when they say your low balling. give a damn price then! this has to be a new rule.
would love to see that happen so no more asking of prices.. also would be nive if you guys either put "FIRM" next to your price so that way people stop lowballing all the time or "OBO" to get better deals and stuff

Rep Power: 0 I just find it annoying when people, make a new FS post saying they don't know how much it's worth to them... well until then don't freaking post it... or i suggest if you MUST... and thats a definite MUST, then make a TESTING WATERS: post which is strickly where you are asking what people would offer for it... nobody really has a standing offer on that, ur just getting opinions on a price... and as soon as you have found the price you like... delete ur thread, or ask for it to be locked because people try to use those as FS posts as well... and thats damn annoying as well...
LOL i'm glad i finally have some support for one of my idea's on this site!!! Woo Hoo!!!
