FOR SALE Section - Policies and Disclaimer:
Revised 1/15/2015
** Minimum 30 posts/points required to post
in this area. **
For Sale posts will be removed after 90 days
If your item is sold or no longer
available PLEASE update the title as such so it can be removed.
Due to
considerable growth in the forum membership and use of the “free” For Sale
section, it has become necessary to revise and update the For Sale section
rules and policies for all users.
Please be familiar with and abide by these rules and policies in all for
sale posts and dealings. Any violation
of these rules and policies are subject to the post being removed and
potentially additional actions being taken according to the forum general rules
and policies.
Beginning immediately any forum
member that has met the 30 post/point minimum will be allowed to post a maximum
of two separate “For Sale” posts in this section in any 24 hour period.
Each post may contain as many individual items as the seller wants to offer as
well as pictures. ( example: One post may offer a single part for sale and
another post may have a list of several parts for sale) Any additional posts within the time frame
noted will be removed.
Specific Rules for every post:
*ads that do not comply with rules
and guidelines are subject to removal. The Forum Moderators will not mediate
disputes and reserves the right to remove any post/posts that become disruptive
Deliberate “bumping” of a for sale
post may result in the post being deleted
Stating “this item is still for sale”
or simply posting the word “bump” are examples of “bumping” (legitimate information updates or revisions
will not be considered bumping)
* You MUST post your location or (if
different) the location where the part is located with your ad or have your
location in your profile (which shows up on the left of posts)
*You
MUST post an asking price for any item you are offering for sale. Posts
that simply state “make an offer” or “what’s it worth” etc. will be removed.
NOTE: if you need help pricing an item you may need
to do some research outside the forum ( E-bay?) or contact other forum members
via the PM system for help. Posting a “what’s
it worth” question in any other section on the forum presumes a pending sale
offer and will no longer be allowed. Any posts will be removed.
* Major items such as cars – complete or for parts, seller is to conduct initial
business and all question and answer in the forum - Not via phone or email. We
are providing an area for buyers to gain trust. If we are good enough for your free
ad, and for you to make money off said free ad, we are good enough for the
questions to be answered online in the sale thread.
Ads that say "I do not visit
here often, call/email" or "I will only respond to email (or PM) may
be subject to removal.
Once a buyer has decided to buy
car/major item, then take exchange of final price or agreement, payment and
address/phone offline.
However, until such an agreement is
reached (someone has decided to follow through and make the purchase),
discussion should remain in the thread.
*We HIGHLY suggest you not post
personal phone numbers or complete email addresses in sale ads.
* No "Generic
Discussion" in the sale or wanted areas.
These sale and wanted forums are here for sellers to sell, buyers to buy, and
folks to find or get rid of AMC stuff.
Casual discussion has areas specifically set aside for it.
* The exception to this is if you are posting information to help members
determine what is needed, what a part looks like or other helps or aids to the
original buyer/seller.
* Extraneous discussion or chatter makes it harder for members to find things
and use the search. It clutters the seller ads.
* If the information has value, it would get lost as ads are removed later.
Because sale and wanted posts periodically go through housecleaning processes,
any valuable information related to what fits what, or what doesn't fit,
cross-references and so on would get lost later.... please place that
information in a safer place then refer to it in the sale/wanted.
*
NO- HIJACKING - if you don't have the minimum 30 posts/points
required for posting in the sale area, then kindly wait your turn.
If you DO have the required 30 posts/points then please don't be lazy - start your own for
sale thread.
~ Moderators, will at their discretion edit or remove posts that violate the
no-hijacking rule. ~
*Disclaimer, other rules and guidelines :
TheAMCForum.com provides the For Sale Section as a service to its
members at no cost. Although we believe the large majority of Sellers who are
Forum members are honest and legitimate, it is still the Buyer's sole
responsibility to ask questions, verify the Seller's identity, ascertain
contact information, availability of the item listed for sale, etc. prior to
entering into any sales transaction.
* Neither TheAMCForum.com,
the Site Administrator, nor the Moderators accepts any
responsibility or liability for scams, incorrect ad information, or "deals
gone bad" for any reason whatsoever. All sales transactions are at the
Buyer's sole risk.
TheAMCForum.com strongly suggests that Buyers check the online Membership
Profile listed here on the Forum when dealing with any Seller. It is strongly
suggested that sales transactions which are initiated with Sellers whose membership
profiles are anonymous, and contain handles, first names only or questionable
email contact info be handled with caution!
Know who the Seller is, know their
contact information, and validate their credibility BEFORE you
send payment for the item you wish to purchase!
* In the event you believe a Seller has misrepresented
themselves, or if you have been scammed or ripped off, please send a PM to one
of the Moderators for follow-up. TheAMCForum.com cannot provide
restitution in these instances. Sellers (and Buyers) who are deadbeat
should be listed in the Cheers or Jeers section as a service to all
Forum members.

of any kind may be listed or offered for sale on TheAMCForum.com because of strict
