We do not take any responsibility regarding the items or the honesty of the buyers or sellers. Please read through these suggestions before buying and selling any items on our website


Basics
Always post a price.
Private sellers (only) may post items for sale. If you are a company looking to sell items on here please contact Admin to find out about how to become an advertiser.
Post in the correct forum.
Buyers beware, as you are dealing with an unknown individual to you, always be cautious. If the deal is doesn’t seem right or you are uncomfortable then back away. Using the correct method of payment as well as tracking all emails and PM's pertaining to the deal will help you out should you need to pursue legal action in the event of a bad deal. Use the search function to check user names, items for sale, etc.
Using Paypal, credit card, or COD are all among the safer ways to conduct internet transactions. If a buyer refuses, this may be an indication for a possible bad seller. Make sure to always request a tracking # and ETA from the time of payment so you know when to expect your purchase.
Be careful or Money Orders, Cashiers Checks, or Personnel Checks as they are easily counterfeit. Selling:
Selling parts, be clear and provide correct description of the part or parts you are selling.
Provide basic description in Title
You must include a price. No exceptions.
You may put up eBay links but you must put a short description of the item(s) in the body of your ad.
Check your ad frequently & update as needed. Post “Closed or Sold” in thread or change the title.
In general, please try to sell items that are ready to ship. If the items are still on a vehicle, please note that. Boxing up an item before posting an ad works great, note that and you may get quick responses.
Always post photos. Your items will sell faster and there will be less hassle.
Try to verify address or ship to a business (call Business before shipping), Be careful of PO address
You can have a copy of Drivers License faxed to you prior to shipping & accepting payment.
Buying:
As always, buyers beware! If you think something is too good to be true, then it is. If the seller makes you uncomfortable, end it. Don’t be afraid to ask for references (previous buyers or sellers). Ask for moderator or administrator references, or members with high post counts.
Need pictures? Asking is always the best.
Claiming? Tell the buyer you want to buy the item for sure. Be decisive or you might miss out.
Got questions? Ask them. But don’t ask three or four rounds of questions you might miss out. Sometimes an item will get sold to someone else who was more organized and more decisive.
Buying a big-ticket item and have some concerns? Get a cell number or phone number, and talk to the seller on the phone.
Trading:
That is up to the two parties, but we are not in favor of it

Bad Trader Examples
Person will not give you a phone number, and wants to only deal with you over the Internet.
Person wants you to make payment to a different name.
Person wants to do a trade, like the old Jason Pierce “trade my rims for your rims” scam from a few years ago.
Person has very low post count, and does not work with you to get you comfortable i.e. by furnishing references or a phone number.
Person will not answer your questions in detail.
Person has negative feedback in the Member Feedback Forum.
We will to add to this list over time.
Be Careful!
