MrMeanGreen Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) This is the section of ColumbusRacing to privately sell Vehicles. This includes cars, trucks, motorcycles, dunebuggies, dragsters, etc. You must have a minimum post count of 25 in order to start a new for sale thread. If you are selling vehicles as a vendor, or business related sales, please click here and read the instructions to register your business. All items for sale MUST include an asking price. Including items "For trade only." No more "make me an offer", "what's it worth", etc. If you don't have an idea of what to ask as a starting price, check Ebay for comparable items, ask around, or just guess and add "obo" to the asking price. NO DIBS. See bottom of this post for details. Please use the appropriate tag listed below in the topic of your post: FS: - use this tag for items For Sale WTB: - Want To Buy WTT: - Want To Trade This is to cut down on clutter and make it easier for others to figure out what you are trying to accomplish. When an item is sold, please change the thread title to reflect this. In the bar at the top of your post, there is the Edit button. Use this to change the thread title once the transaction is complete. The thread will then be locked. Do not post off topic replies, this can be done through PM. Posts that are not relevant, including criticizing an asking price, will be deleted. Do not dig up the grave. If a thread has had no replies in over a month, do not post in it again. The threads are left on here so that people are able to go back and find contact information if there are any problems later on. If the person that started the thread never stated whether or not an item was sold, send them a private message to ask if it is still available. If you want to bring your post back to the top for more attention, just reply TTT to it, but not more than once a day. Bringing it to the top 5 times in an hour won't make it sell any faster. If you have an issue with a bad buyer/seller, feel free to send an Admin or a Mod a PM so that the issue can be resolved. ----------------------- Due to some past issues with people replying to ads and calling "dibs", which is basically claiming all rights to a sale, we wish to post our policy on this subject. "Calling dibs" isn't valid here. There are many reasons for this. 1. Seller has the ultimate right to sell to whoever he chooses, as well as the right to refuse to sell to someone for whatever reason. 2. Seller could have this item advertised in the regional forum, classified forum, and maybe 10 other websites and the local newspaper. Its impossible to claim "dibs" on a sale that you might not have seen first. You might be the first to reply in a thread, but that doesn't mean 10 people have already emailed the seller about it. 3. Calling "dibs" sometimes makes other potential buyers lose interest in the sale. This really sucks when the guy calling "dibs" is just a dreamer or is trying to lowball the seller, and ends up not buying the item. The other buyers will probably be long gone by then, and have bought similar items from someone else. 4. If you want to use CR as a venue to sell your item(s), please take the time to post a full description and asking price. Do not just post a direct link to Ebay or Craigslist. If you do have an Ebay, Craigslist, autotrader, or simular site, you can add it to your post if you would like. So, please keep in mind that "calling dibs" on something does NOT guarantee you the sale of the item. Therefore, do not waste your time calling dibs. Just send a PM or email to the seller and discuss things privately. Once your sale is 100% confirmed and you sent the funds, you may reply that it is sold to you. ------------------------------- Using Columbus Racing to sell a large number of items can also get you classified as a vendor, requiring you to pay the vendors fee. A bonus of paying this fee is getting a larger PM box. There is no defined number of for sale posts to to cause someone to fall into this classification. This is left as a gray area on purpose, and will be dealt with on a case by case basis. However, so long as you follow the other guidelines of this section and aren't abusing it, there should be nothing to worry about. Posting a large number of items for sale prevents other people's posts from being noticed, as one person can flood the first page with posts, causing other people's posts to drop off to the second page. To make it more fair for the people that only list a couple items here, this type of activity will be monitored. If you do not wish to become a vendor, but still post like this, you may be subject to disciplinary action as seen fit by the administration. It should be noted that, while these are the stated rules, there are times when issues come up that we haven't thought of. The administration of Columbus Racing is here to keep things clean, fair, and running smoothly. In order to do this, we occasionally have to make decisions that not everyone will agree with. If there has been moderation that you don't agree with, please PM a Moderator or Admin and we will review the issue.
