Where do I post?
***Please post your items in the proper forum. This should be self explanitory.

• Sponsor Specials - Sponsors ONLY!!!!
• Car Parts for Sale - Any parts related to the gamut of cars you see here. Any and all car audio should go here. No 1992 Camaro or 1986 Honda Civics!(Stick to Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Regal, etc...)
• Car Parts Wanted - Any parts related to the gamut of cars you see here. No 1992 Camaro or 1986 Honda Civics!(Stick to Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Regal, etc...)
• Vehicles For Sale/Wanted - Again, stick to Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Regal.
• Other For Sale/Wanted - Where everything else goes. No illegal items.
• Buyer & Seller Feedback - Leave feedback here according to the rules.

***Do not make threads here unless YOU are buying, selling, or trading items. They will be closed, no questions asked.

Thread Crapping
***Thread crapping is anything unrelated to the topic at hand. Some examples:

• Making fun of other peoples offers.
• One-emoticon posts
• Excessive swearing and pointless insults
• Low-ball, unrealistic offers.
• Anything along the lines of "That price is too high!"
• Any price comment whatsoever.
• ANYTHING off-topic.

***Moderators have the final say in what is thread crapping and what isn't. Don't get angry if your post gets deleted, just read the rules topic again. IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN AN ITEM, DO NOT POST IN THE THREAD!!

Price comparisons

• You are not allowed to compare (price, quality or anything else) of someone's items in their thread.
• Example, if someone is selling a set of wheels, and you say, "Well, it's $100 cheaper at http://www.website.com".
• Example, if someone is selling an used intercooler, and you say, "That's only $40 less than new! Why would I buy yours when I can get a new one for $xxxx.00?"
• Price comparisons are considered thread craps and you can have your account suspended for it.

Multiple Accounts

• Do not attempt to make multiple accounts to leave yourself feedback. The moderators are watching, so are other members. (note: multiple account syndrome is bannable)

Bumping

• You get one bump per day. A day consists of 24 hours. Do not post a thread at 11pm and ttt it at 4am then next day.
• Excess bumps will get a warning, followed by a trip to the trash if it continues.
• This includes replying to yourself or another member "bump for a great guy" etc.
• Anyone caught bumping someone elses thread will be dealt with accordingly.

What You CANNOT Include In A Thread

• Items That Are Not Yours. Do not post a thread for an eBay auction, website, or shop that is not yours. Don't post topics like "HEY GUYS I FOUND THIS SITE R THEY LEGIT??!!?" and expect people to buy from them before you do. Check the feedback forum to see if other people have bought from them. Remember, if it's too good to be true, it usually is. You shouldn't sell items for your 'friend' either.. let your friend join and he can sell his own items.
• HARD DRIVE "GOODIES" - Don't vaguely describe "goodies" on a hard drive that you might be selling. It will be interpreted as COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL (ie games/microsoft office/operating systems) and will be deleted. Game ROMs are included in this list.
• Satellite hacking products
• Donation Threads - You should not be starting donation threads at all in BST. If, for some reason, you feel you have a just cause, contact a mod first.
• Illegal/Copied Software. Do not post copies of any software.
• Gmail invites - We're not doing these, for whatever reason. Give them away somewhere else.
• "Free Stuff from MS" - There is no such thing as something free from Micro$oft.
• FREE I-Pods etc. ANY ONE OF THESE FREE STUFF OFFERS IS CONSIDERED BANNABLE SPAM IF YOU POST IT.

No Polls Whatsoever

• Polls are extremely annoying and should not be posted in buy and sell.
• If you post a poll, the poll will usually be removed by a moderator and the thread will be closed outright.

Referral URLs

• We do NOT allow any kind of REFERRAL URLS(note: these are different than references, which are allowed).
• Referral URLs usually have a refcode in the URL, and people make fractions of pennies or gain some sort of point everytime it is clicked.
• YES THESE INCLUDE FREE I-POD/FLATSCREEN/SIMILAR OFFERS.
• If you aren't sure if your link is allowed pm a moderator with the url and we will check it out.

Separate Feedback Threads belong in the buyer/seller feedback forum.

• Search for the user before you post a new thread. We would like to see one single thread per seller/buyer with all of their feedback.

***This isn't a professional service. People wanting more, should consider opening a WebSite to sell their products. Similarly, threads like "has anyone dealt with ********** before?" should not be posted. These will all be closed.

eBay Auctions

• You are allowed to make posts for *your* eBay auctions as long as they follow the other rules in this thread.

How Not To Get Scammed

• The best way to ensure that you don't lose your hard earned money to do some background research.
• Ask the person you are dealing for forum references, and PM some of the people he may of dealt with.
• Ask for eBay feedback and/or refs from BST-Secure or Heatware.
• Read the person's old posts. Click the profile icon, and read some of their old posts.
• Search for their name in the Feedback section and see what comes up.
• DO NOT post a thread like "Has anyone ever dealt with xxxxxxxxxx". It will be closed immediatley.

**CLUBGP is not responsible for the transactions that happen here. You trade at your OWN RISK, and it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that you are trading with a trustworthy person.

DID YOU GET RIPPED OFF/SCAMMED?

• CLUBGP is not going to mediate transaction disputes.
• We have no idea who ripped who off nor will we make an effort to find out.
• CLUBGP does not claim responsibility for what goes on in Buy, Sell & Trade nor will we police it(other than rule enforcement).
• Post threads like "******** is a scammer / I got ripped by *******" in the feedback section according to the rules above.

Violating The Rules

• Don't do it if you value your account.

What to do if you see others do it:

• Click the "Report This Post" button and enter a short message. It sends out an e-mail to all mods, along with a description of the problem. This is easiest for most people (members & mods alike). This is the fastest way to make sure a moderator will see the post.

Short Summary of things that WILL GET YOU BANNED without prejudice:

• Selling illegal software
• Multiple account abuses
• Physical threats to anyone
• Promoting pyramid schemes
• Promoting what may not be a "pyramid scheme" by definition but is in fact a "free stuff" scheme
• Collecting donations in CLUBGP's name
• PayPal "raffles"
• Repeated multiple abuses of the classifieds in any way.
• FREE I-POD or FREE PC or ANY FREE WHATEVER referral link offer.

Tips on starting a good buy & Sell topic. (not rules.. but good advice)

• Include your location
• Include an accurate and concise description of the item(s)
• Photos are always nice to have. Try to keep them between 640 pixels and 800 pixels wide.
• Method of payment (PayPal, money order, etc)
• Include a few business references (members on CLUBGP, BST-Secure, Heatware, etc)
• Spell & grammar check your post before you submit. The preview button is there for a reason.
• Don't post in ALL CAPS, don't use excessive bold/italics/colors tags.
• Keep internet shorthand to a minimun, and give a good description of the item(s)
• Edit your original post and mark items SOLD. Add "SOLD" to the subject when all of your items are gone.
