The following additional rules apply to all of the For Sale and Wanted forums (Classifieds)

c. Handguns with threaded barrels
d. Magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds
(BREAKING THIS RULE WILL RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE TWO WEEK BAN)
2. All items MUST include an asking price. If it is an item for trade, an approximate value or list of items that you would trade for is required. Indicate in your initial post if you are offering shipping on your item.
3. Leave contact information. If you want people to email you make sure it's posted in your thread. Users cannot email you through the forum.
4. No "thread crapping". If you aren't interested in an item do not post in the thread. This absolutely includes any unnecessary comments about a seller's asking price. This also includes making public offers on price and trades. PM ALL offers, whether it be a dollar amount or a trade.

6. If an item has sold, please say so and we will lock the thread.
