Cars for Sale Charter

Postby Owen » Mon Jul 03, 2006 2:40 am

To prevent any mess-ups, and false advertising on the For Sale forum, there are some rules you need to adhere to. If you don't stick to the rules, I'll delete the thread. Break them a second time, and you'll get a week's banning from the For Sale forum. Having a heavy hand here is vital to protect potential buyers and sellers. So, without further adieu, here are the rules in all their glory :

1. Only members can advertise here.
To advertise in this Forum, you must be a paid up member of the MINI Club of Ireland. Anyone who isn't a member will have their thread deleted. There will be no penalty for a one of infringement of this rule.

2. All dealings on thread.
No offering prices through Private Messaging (PMs), or through the phone. Offer your prices here first, if they're agreeable, proceed to phone. This just helps when people are viewing the thread to see how serious a seller is in sticking to his asking price, and if the vehicle in question is sold, or not.

3. No thread spoiling.
If someone goes to the trouble of posting a car for sale here, don't try to belittle the effort by making claims such as "The 997cc engine isn't worth a damn". Your opinion, and someone elses can, and usually will be completely different.

4. No commercial selling.
This is for private sales only. We're not here to provide free advertising for anyone. Exceptions include sponsor MINI Club of Ireland members, ie: Ger, and myself, and anyone else actively contributing to the well being of the club.

5. No stolen/written off items are to be offered here for sale.
Adverts for stolen cars, or written off cars posted here will result in the users account being locked, and their IP address being banned. If the matter is serious enough, I will report their IP, and ISP to the Gardaí.

6. Cars for sale must include photos.
If you don't know how to post a photo, there is a guide in the Site Feedback forum. You *must* include photos. Not only will it help you to sell your car, but it will help a prospective buyer see that superficial rust, see those alloys you saved up for, and it will also prevent people selling Cooper replicas as Coopers, etc.

7. Play nice.
I don't want to use a heavy hand in this Forum, but I will. And so will the other Moderators.

8. Let us know if the car is sold!
If you sell the car in question, or decide to remove it from sale, please let us know so we can lock the thread up.

Fully paid up members can post any car for sale here, so if you want to sell the wife's Focus, by all means drive on. You're a member, and are rightly entitled to do so.
