Forum Rules - Please Read before posting!

FORUM MARKETPLACE RULES

1. New members are not permitted access to the Action Figure Marketplace until they reach 30 Non-Spam posts. These sections include the Vintage and Modern Selling/Trading & Wanted sections, ID Marketplace, Ebay Auctions and Other Marketplace. Members should not be posting items for sale or for identification in any other sections of the Forum. Once a member has reached the 30 post mark, they will be granted access to the Marketplace categories and are then free to buy/sell/trade items or have them identified.

2. No complaints about prices for sellers items. Every seller has the right to charge what they want for an item and posting negative comments because of this is not allowed.

3. If your items have been sold, traded or aquired, please modify the header in your original post to reflect this, or delete the post all together. If you cannot for some reason, simply add the word "DELETE" to the title and the Moderators will delete it for you. This way nobody wastes time sending or replying with emails and PM's on items that are already gone. Any threads that have not been updated after 6 months or more from their last edit or post date, will be deleted (we will assume the list has been abandoned by the member).

4. The Marketplace has been split into two sections - "Wants" and "Sell & Trade". In each section, members will be allowed only one post, which they will need to update when they add/delete items to it. Anyone creating more than 1 post per section, will have their oldest thread automatically deleted.

5. All ID posts with pictures of unknown action figures, weapons and accessories are to be placed in the "ID Marketplace" section of the forum. This means that these items are first available for sale or trade to other members within the community for a minimum of 2 weeks before offered for outside resale (ie. Ebay). Members are still free to keep any items identified for their personal collections, but please state this if somebody expresses interest.

6. All Ebay auctions go in the "Ebay Auctions" section of the Marketplace. Please post an actual link to the item rather than just an item number. Remember to delete any of your Ebay posts once the auction has ended as this keeps the forum fresh for others looking for current auctions.

7. All other non action figure items or other collectibles for sale or wanted are to be posted in the "Other Marketplace" section of the forums.

8. Please post any trader ratings for members in the "Good & Bad Trader Feedback List". In order for feedback to count, it needs to be posted in this thread. For any disputes, their is the option to create a seperate post in the "Trader Review" section of the forums explaining your transaction with the other member in detail.

9. Please refrain from posting comments like "PM sent" in members Marketplace threads as this clutters the thread and makes it harder to read through. Instead simply PM or email the member directly, their is no need to tell them in the thread you have done so. If there has been no response to your PM within a reasonable time, please check as to when the seller was last on the forum before sending another to them. If the seller has been on multiple times since your PM, it may be that the item is either no longer available or they have a deal in the works but they need to finalize that aspect before responding.
