Market place rules

General rules:

1. Before being allowed to sell hardware at HWBOT's Market place you must have at least 10 submissions at HWBOT and over a dozen of forum posts.
   

2. Start a topic in the corresponding section and select a proper thread title. Title must include a location tag like (UK/US/AU/CA/EU). E.g.: [sale] i7-3770K (UK)
   

3. Pictures of the Items are required to start a topic. In addition you have to handwrite your HWBot-username and date on a piece of paper and place it next to the items. The date on the picture has to be the same as the date of your topic. Resize your pictures, max limit is 8MB per thread.
   

4. Sealed or closed boxes are not allowed. You have to show the item itself on the picture.
   

5. You must set a selling price for your items unless you want to trade only.

8. . Do not push your thread more than once within 24 hours. For Changes please use the edit function.

10. Post information about the estimated shipping costs - especially for international hipping.
    Post information about payment details. E.g.: PayPal or international bank transfer accepted.

  11. Do not start threads which only contain links to other marketplaces.

  12. Do not delete sold items or remove the price from the original posting. Mark these items as "sold" instead.

  13. Use the report button if there are any postings which violate these rules or if a posting is suspicious in any kind of way.

  14. No price bashing.

  15. To keep marketplace clean, keep it to one thread at a time, max two, so people can see what you offer and also mods have an overview
