    Please read BEFORE posting in the sales sections.

    1. Before posting in the sales sections:

    Before you post an advert or a response to an advert on the BBS, please type the name of your nearest or postal town into your User Profile.

    To do this, first, click on 'User CP' at the top left of the screen then, click on 'Edit Your Details', which is in the 'Your Profile' box. Scroll down the page to 'Additional Information', and type the name of your town into 'Nearest town (not your county)'.

    This rule is to help protect BBS members from fraudsters and from former members who have been banned for trading irregularities, and who try to get back onto the BBS under a new identity. Knowing their location makes it easier for the mods to identify them so that they can be banned from the BBS.

    The mods will try to ensure that all adverts and responses display the poster's home town, but we cannot screen every post, so please DO NOT respond to any 'sales' or 'wanted' post that does not display the poster's town, do not send monies nor goods unless the address tallies with that in the other party's User Profile - if you are asked to do so then please inform the mods and we will take action.

    It is requested that, if using a picture to show the condition of an item but the picture posted is not actually of that item but a representation of a similar model, that the seller indicates this in his post. This is to ensure that the image supplied is an accurate representation of the item for sale. For legal reasons, please do not use copyrighted images.

    2. NO AUCTIONS:

    YOU MUST STATE A PRICE, NO OFFERS!!!
    NO LINKS TO ONLINE AUCTIONS.
    ZERO TOLERANCE!

    3. You may NOT advertise:

    ANIMALS/LIVESTOCK/BIRDS/SNAKES/REPTILES OF ANY KIND nor even insects may be sold on this board.

    Copies, rips and pirates of all DVD or CD's will not be tolerated. It's illegal and Edward is responsible for all content on the BBS.

    Any items by way of trade or business.

    Any items banned under UK law.

    Tobacco and alcohol products are also prohibited.

    It is also an offence to market knives in such a way to describe them as combat ready, or in some other way that would serve to suggest that the knife should be used anti-socially.

    4. Etiquette:

    When responding to an item for sale, the first unconditional commitment to buy (preferably on the thread) should take precedence over statements of intent to purchase subject to a condition. Asking for photographs etc, does not mean that you have bought or reserved an item until a firm commitment to buy is made.

    The seller of an item is encouraged to sell an item to the first person to make a firm commitment to buy on the thread. However, it is entirely up to the seller who they chose to sell to, irrespective of whatever means is used to make that commitment. (PM email etc).

    It is good manners and practice that once the item is sold, to go back to the original post and edit it to indicate this by typing SOLD into it. This saves users from trawling through pages of 'bumps' only to find that it's been sold and that they've wasted their time.

    'Bumps': Every time an advertisement is 'bumped' to the top of the list by the advertiser, everyone else's advertisement scrolls down the page. Anyone who bumps an advertisement excessively will find that it disappears and they may lose access to the sales sections.

    The prices asked for any article on this section is the business of the seller and NOBODY else, anyone posting saying things such as "XYZ sells them cheaper" or makes any derogatory comments about the article will immediately lose access to this section.

    Sellers: If you intend to add a percentage or offer a discount according to the payment method, could you please make this clear in the advertisement.

    When advertising items for sale by a non-member, we expect the member placing the advertisement to accept responsibility for the sale, as if they had made the sale themselves. It is the responsibility of the member to verify the condition of the item, the accuracy of the description, and the reliability of the third party whose goods they are advertising.

    Anyone posting 'Wanted' adverts in sales section will lose access to sales, as will anyone deemed by the Mods to be interfering in another members' sale.

    5. Age: The minimum legal age for buying or selling an airgun (or even receiving one as a gift) in the UK is now 18. Because not only the person aged under 18 selling an airgun, but also the other party in any subsequent transaction, would be acting illegally, we regretfully cannot allow any member under 18 to place sales or wanted advertisements for airguns.

    If the mods find any member under 18 advertising an airgun for sale or wanted, they will lose access to the airgun sales and wanted sections.
