Tips and Rules:
Tips and Rules:
- Items that are aerospace-oriented (rocketry, R/C, control-line, etc) are acceptable for listing in this area. It is strongly encouraged that pictures be included when posting items for sale.
- Motors and other items with shipping restrictions are not to be listed for sale unless you have the legal ability to ship them, or you are offering them for local pickup only.
- The software will require a prefix that all threads have a prefix of "[For Sale]" or "[Wanted]" to reflect which category the listing is in. Please add the appropriate prefix. For more on prefixes.
- After you've sold your items, please remember to go back and edit the thread to indicate the items are Sold. To do this, go to your initial post and click the "Edit Post" link. Then, under the editor box that pops up, click "Go Advanced" to get to the prefix options. Change your prefix to "Sold", save your changes, and you're done.
- Regarding comments about sellers, If you are not involved in a transaction with the seller or do not have current experience (last 6 months) with that seller, stay out of the conversation. Violation of this will result in infractions being issued.
- Please do not post open remarks such as "You can buy it from XYZ for less" in the Yardsale section. This type of comment is tacky and discourages people from buying the item. Send them a PM/conversation instead. If you don't have an interest in what's being sold, then please, stay out of the thread.
- When items have sold, mark them sold but do not delete them from the thread. The goal is to keep them on the forum as a reference for others that are trying to sell an item.
- You have 30 days to edit the threads. Please do not delete or remove the text after a sale.
- If something has been sold and you cannot edit it, please report it to the mods for editing so we can clean this place up. Use the word "report" after the post.
- Please bump your yardsale thread every month to let us know it is still for sale or it will be marked "sold" or "found".
- “For Sale” items must have a price in the post. Users can report items without a price for deletion. TRF is not an auction site, so asking for bids is verboten.
- Effective immediately, posters to the yard sale must have been a member for 30 days and have 20 posts OR be a Supporting Member. This is to cut back on link spamming.
- Please do not destroy threads. Once sold, just change the prefix. Do not change the context. We will use this forum as a record of the price and sale.
- Please do not remove the selling price and replace it with “SOLD”. Members use this forum as a reference. When you remove the price, you are removing the long-term value of your thread.
