***Welcome to the E30 classifieds! Please read before posting!***

[VacMan]

This section is for selling anything related to the BMW E30 chassis. You may list cars here, but you will probably do better by putting a listing in the Cars for Sale section HERE and then linking that ad in this subforum. You'll have a lot more exposure.

You are expected to follow the same rules here as you would in the normal classifieds. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

When posting an item for sale...

1. Post a specific price for the item. No BEST OFFERS accepted. This is not an auction site. If you would like to auction off your item for sale, please use www.ebay.com and post the link here for others.
2. 'Bumping' your own thread more than once every 48 hours is prohibited, doing so will get your thread dumped. Bumping someone else's thread to increase your post count will land you in time out or banned.
3. Feelers ads are not acceptable forms of advertisements. Such ads will be locked (or deleted).
4. Do not reply to a thread that has had no activity for over six months. The standard practice is to P.M. the seller and inquire on the availability on the item.
5. Under No Circumstances is anyone to reply to a post suggesting that the item can be found cheaper elsewhere. That is the responsibility of the purchaser to look for the best deal - not for forum members to point out. Members are trying to sell their items in a safe environment without fear of others trying to undercut their sales.
6. Sales are to be kept to BMW related items only. Other items will be deleted.
7. We prohibit non-supporting vendors from posting any sale information to this forum -- especially advertisements in their signature file. The only items that we allow for sale are occasional personal items or items from supporting vendors for the benefit of our members. This prohibition also includes members basically in the DIY business of salvaging and parting out cars for a profit, whether from your home or a salvage yard. If you are interested in selling your goods here, please contact one of the Administrators for information on advertising here.
8. Selling parts that you do NOT have on hand just isn't going to work on this forum. Get the parts on hand, take pictures of them and then post them. ALL threads of anything for sale that a member does not currently have on hand (unless they can provide justifiable proof that they do own those parts) will be closed.
9. No bootleg/pirated or illegal material may be sold in this forum.
10. All sales and purchases are at the risk of the individuals involved. Please be certain that you make safe and intelligent secure payment arrangements. Bimmerforums.com is not responsible/liable for any sales that go uncompensated. We are also not responsible/liable for any item advertised for sale in this area, and the integrity of that product's representation.
11. Any member selling/trading any item(s) on this board that accepts monies from another member without sending out the items purchased will have their membership removed from the forum immediately.
12. Bimmerforums.com does not promote/endorse any products listed for sale in this area.
13. There is a new regulation implemented on paypal that everyone should know about. It can be found under the Terms of Use at the bottom of the paypal page. "No Surcharges. Under Visa and MasterCard regulations and the laws of several states, including California, merchants may not charge a fee to the buyer for accepting credit card payments (often called a "surcharge"). You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as payment. This restriction does not prevent you from imposing a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge (in other words, the handling fee for transactions paid through PayPal may not be higher than the handling fee for transactions paid through other payment methods)."

Suggestions...

1. Post the two digit state code for your location in your thread title to help narrow searches.
2. Pictures are requested and appreciated of the specific items for sale.
3. Post contact information... preferably a phone number or email address you know that works.
4. Keep an eye on your thread (subscribe if necessary) and respond to people replying to your post.
5. Remember to package your items to ensure they are not damaged during shipping

Our community is savvy! By and large we don't have problems...but we have added these rules in this forum to explain proper etiquette when buying, selling or trading items.

We will be moderating this section heavily, so be sure you're following the rules or risk having your hard work deleted and/or getting a vacation from bf.c.

Thanks!

Tim
