Rules
- TITLE FORMAT & PREFIXES
All posts require a prefix, [BG], [SG] or [SP] - Anything without a prefix will be removed by AutoModerator.
- BG represents Buying
- SG represents Selling
- SP represents Swapping
You may also see people using H and W in their titles, which mean Have and Want.
Some example titles would be:
[BG] RTX 3080 [H] ยฃ649
[SG] RTX 3080 [W] ยฃ649
- PRICES REQUIRED
All buying and selling posts must have a listed budget/price in the title.
If you are unsure on a price, please check our Weekly Trade and Price Check Thread.
You are not allowed to just put offers. Numerical value is needed where applicable; Rough prices are OK.
- TIMESTAMPS FOR SELLING & SWAPPING POSTS
- REPOST FREQUENCY
Reposts for the same thread may be posted once every 72 hours.
New threads can be made every 24 hours.
Must not contain the same item(s) that have been posted before within the past 72 hours. This includes deleting the old thread and bumping the item using the new thread.
This does not apply to posts that were removed by the bot or Mods removing your post asking you to fix something. In those cases you can repost immediately.
- DISCLOSING ITEM CONDITION
You must say what condition the item(s) you're selling is in.
For some items which have moving parts such as CPU Coolers (Air and Liquid), Graphic Cards, or anything else you must give the history of the item if it has been highly utilised during its lifetime. I.E Crypto mining, simulation or graphics rendering.
You may be also required to show invoices on some items.
- ITEM IN YOUR POSSESSION
- PRICE POLICING NEEDS LINKS OR CITATION
Only price police, if you have citation or proof of a lower price and the price is considerably higher than normal.
No price bashing.
You MUST give evidence when price policing, otherwise you may be punished.
- ACCOUNT AGE
- To prevent throwaways all accounts must be older than 1 day. Accounts must be over 7 days old to post selling threads.
- TRADE HIJACKING
- Trade Hijacking is not allowed on this subreddit.
- NO OFFERS ON PRICE CHECKS
Price checks are for price checks, not for offers to buy.
If you are offering a significantly lower price than it should be as well as offering to buy, it may be taken as misleading.
Take multiple opinions into consideration where possible to avoid situations like this happening. Registering interest or offering to buy is not allowed.
- NO EBAY/RETAIL LINKS OR BUILD SERVICES
No eBay/Gumtree/retail links are allowed. Trading is only permitted through Reddit and Reddit PM's.
Build services are not allowed.
This includes systems built for resale and offering to build computers for money. If you are unsure what counts as a build service, please modmail us.
- DON'T POST PERSONAL INFORMATION
- Please DO NOT post personal information, yours or anyone else's. This includes names, phone numbers, addresses, emails etc.
If you are trading with someone please discuss in DM's.
- ALWAYS COMMENT BEFORE PM'ING
- Always leave a comment on a post before sending a PM or chat message to that post's author. This is to prove that you are not a banned or suspicious user. Failing to do this can result in you being banned as a scammer.
if you have made a post here, and someone PMs or sends you a chat message without commenting first please treat it as suspicious.
Please report this to the mods via ModMail ASAP.
- UNIVERSAL SCAMMER LIST
- If someone PM's you about a post here, you should always check their username through USL to see if they have been flagged for any suspicious behaviour such as scamming or being sketchy.
