Here are some general rules that you should follow when making a sales thread: 1) Consolidate your WTB items into one thread; WTS items into another thread. Instead of having 5 different sales threads for 4 different items (example: WTS: G17, WTS: G18c, WTS: G19, WTS: G26 as all separate threads), make ONE sales thread (example: Jon Lee's epic gun sale!!!). It makes the forum much cleaner, and it makes me want to delete your threads a lot less. 2) Do not prematurely bump your threads. Avoid "shameless bumps" every 2 days. They're not shameless; they're just obnoxious. You are only allowed to bump after a week has passed, and only once per day thereafter. Moderators will delete your entire thread if this rule is broken. 3) Do not flame people's threads. If you don't like what you see, then ignore it. There is no reason to flame someone's sales post. If you are an educated buyer, you will have the common sense to make inquiries and examine the product prior to exchanging funds. If you don't, then that's your fault. Furthermore, don't hijack other people's sales threads. Are you selling the exact same gun for a lower price? Then make your own thread and find your own buyers. 4) Take it to PMs. Always. If you're interested in an item, PM the seller. You can state that the PM was sent in the thread, but do not inquire about the item in question IN the thread, because it's obnoxious and wastes space. If you have a problem with the product, PM the seller, etc etc. 5) To sellers: make an attempt to post ORIGINAL pictures. Don't just go on Google and type "kwa g34" into Images and post a link from AirsoftGI or Evike. Take the 30 seconds to take a snapshot with a camera (I'm sure your family has a camera, don't play dumb) and post it up. There are tons of free webhosts out there that will host your photos (i.e., photobucket.com, tinypic.com). A stock photo from an airsoft does NOT provide the correct interpretation for the product that YOU are selling. If you cannot provide an original photo, then don't provide one at all. Everyone knows what a G34 is, you don't have to send them a link. If they don't know, they can Google it themselves. 6) To sellers: update your sales threads. When an item is sold, mark it as such. The more often you update your threads, the more buyers you'll get and the less questions they'll have. It's easy, so do it. 7) Spell correctly. For everyone's sanity, SPELL YOUR WORDS CORRECTLY. Nothing is more infuriating than reading "herpderp derp derp derp herp derp derp herp wtb 1911 mahgz!!1!" Seriously, if you can't spell, go back to school. Or if that's too hard, then open up Microsoft Word and use the SpellChecker before you post something that looks so ugly that it might cause readers to go blind. First offense is a warning; second (and every subsequent) offense results in your thread's deletion. | |

Posts that do not follow these rules will be deleted on sight. Don't complain if you didn't read the rules. Don't complain if you read them and didn't follow them. If I have to keep deleting posts, we are going to relock this section. | |

No warnings, I'm deleting all posts/thread that do not follow the forum rules. To the OPs, follow the rules and see example of sales thread before posting. To potential buyers, PM ONLY OR I WILL DELETE YOUR POST. | |
