ETRC Buy, Sell, Trade Rules - Please Read Before Posting

[CastAway]

At this time, rules regarding sales on the club forums are established by, and enforced by, the respective clubs and moderators.

Selling Forum Rules

• The public ETRC sales forum is available to R2R members, that have been a members for 30 days and have 25 meaningful posts (A meaningful post will involve more than saying things like "nice tank" or "I agree." Something meaningful will often be sharing one's knowledge and experience with others and actively participating in hobby related discussions)

• The use of the sales forum is for R2R members that contribute in the regular forums (To understand what we mean by "members that contribute," please see the above statement regarding meaningful posts).

• This forum is to be used for the sale of reef related items only.

• Threads that appear to be commercial, or to be posted by known commercial business owners, will be removed. Being deemed commercial is not just for parties that have a physical store or website. There are many factors that may lead to a thread being deemed commercial. Some of them are having a constant supply of an item, large supply of an item, "made to order" goods, or buying with the intent to resell, or known Craigslist item re-sellers.

Please keep in mind that selling in this forum is a privilege. The ETRC BOD and forum moderators reserve the right to remove any sales threads, or any posts, at any time.

Sellers

• An asking price must and photo must be included in the thread. The inclusion of a "or best offer" statement is acceptable.

• Sellers may not ask buyers to PayPal as gift. Any selling fees should be included in the asking price. Private agreement regarding fees should not be disclosed and is at your own risk.

• Items listed for sale must be yours and in your possession. You may not sell things on behalf of someone else or list items that are yours but being kept by someone else.

• Auction type sales threads are not permitted.

• Links to ebay, Craig's List or other sites are not permitted.

• Posting to bump is permitted once a day only.

• Payment details must be worked out in private, via PM.

• At anytime you may be asked by the ETRC BOD or moderators to post a pic of the item for sale with a piece of paper that has your R2R username and the current date. If you fail to do this, the thread will be removed.

• The ETRC BOD or moderator may ask at any time to show proof of ownership, or the thread will be removed.

Buyers

• Questions regarding brand, type, size, etc. by those who are genuinely interested in buying the item are allowed. However, questions about price (including alternative offers that are lower than posted price) or critiques of the sale should be directed to PM.

• Posts that are deemed to be attempts to intentionally derail and harm the seller's thread will not be permitted.

Please remember that the ETRC sales forum is a benefit of, and for, the local Tennessee community. If there are any questions please feel free to PM any ETRC board member or ETRC forum moderator.


Thank you,

Team ETRC!
