For Sale/Wanted Rules paraphrased  

We have had a multitude of violations of the For Sale/Wanted rules recently, so I thought I'd post a simplified version of the rules. Please obey these, or expect to receive warnings and/or infractions. The official rules still govern. This is just an abbreviated version for your convenience.

• You need 35+ reps to post a new thread in the For Sale and Wanted Forums. Exceptions cannot and will not be made to this rule.

• Computer and tech items only. Listing services is not permitted. No sales of OEM operating systems unless factory sealed and accompanied by significant hardware. No selling online accounts or software keys

• You must contact a marketplace mod or senior mod before listing new/recently purchased items.

• No cross posting on eBay or advertising eBay auctions, NO auction site links or references allowed!

• A sale price must be listed for each item. No upping the price if there is competition over an item.

• For Sale/trade listings must include a photograph of the actual item(s) for sale as well as a note with your Overclock.net name and the date

• You may sell more than one item in a thread, but you have to number the items, list prices, and mark SOLD after items that have sold. Do not delete sold items as this messed up trader feedback.

• Make offers via PM only. Offers in threads will be deleted.

• Don't post unless you have a question. Period. Only the OP may discuss price. Discussing price in a thread either good ("great price!') or bad ("those are $X new") is not appropriate

• Do not post an item unless you are definite that you want to sell it.

• If you are looking to purchase an item, post the exact item that you are interested in obtaining.

• Once items are found or sold or you decide not to bump the listing any longer, close your listing using the close listing button in the first post. You do not need a mod to do this for you.

• All listing titles must start with the correct tag "Wanted: ", "For Sale: ", "Trade: ", or "For Sale/Trade

• You may not ask for free items. No cyberbegging will be allowed.

• Use the "Report Bad Post" button if a post breaks the rules. Do not post about the issue.

• Deals are made solely between members and are not the responsibility of Overclock.net even if they result in no payment, not receiving items, or any other negative outcome.

• If you rip off someone and they can prove it, you will be banned.

• You may NOT request a purchase be made for you for. No buy this for me and...

• You may not create a listing to document any sale that took place outside of the FS/wanted section.
