Here is the list of usage guidelines:

The following guidelines are now in effect. Over some period of time these may be modified or expanded.

As of now, dealers are allowed to post here as long as all guidelines are respected.

Note that BUYERS AND SELLERS HAVE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR TRANSACTIONS. We will not resolve disputes, and purchases and sales are done at your own risk.

For Sale — Threads may be removed for failure to comply, and repeated issues could result in strikes.

  1. Books must be CGC or raw only, or items directly related to comics.
  2. No spamming. Group your for sale items into one thread in each sub-forum. Attempts to take up front page real estate by creating multiple threads are not allowed.
  3. List your books only once, and in the appropriate sub-forum. Incorrectly placed threads or books posted in multiple places will be moved. Repeat offenders will have their threads pulled completely.
  4. It must be an exclusive board-only offer. If the book is offered for sale through another venue (ebay, dealer site, personal web site, etc.) then it should NOT be offered here. It should be offered in the Sales Advertising board.
  5. Links to outside sites for any purpose involving purchasing the offered books are not allowed.
  6. It must list specific books with purchase prices. It is acceptable to bulk price, and/or to note that package discounts may be available, but you must list a starting price that you WILL sell for.
  7. List scans or an estimated grade of the offered books (additional information giving the rationale for the grade is also beneficial and will help your sale - ESPECIALLY if you do not have a scan - but not required in the initial post).
  8. List estimated shipping costs, times, and methods.
  9. List acceptable forms of payment (NOTE: PayPal "goods and services" is an acceptable payment method to list, but Personal PayPal, AKA "friends and family," is NOT allowed as a listed payment option as it is not appropriate for item purchases. It is also against the rules to ask for Personal PayPal via private message).
  10. You cannot post in a way that violates the terms of service for your payment methods. (NOTE: Specifically, no surcharges for accepting PayPal, or discounts for other methods)
  11. A return policy must be stated with any time limits indicated. It is acceptable to say "No time limit" and/or "No returns" and/or have time limits that vary by reason for return e.g. "30 day return for any reason. No time limit returns for "not as described'". But time limits must be stated.
  12. If posting a trading thread you must list a dollar value price for the book that you WILL accept in TRADE VALUE, and you MUST put "TRADE ONLY" in the title of your thread if you will not accept money.
  13. Prompt responses must be made to buy requests made through the boards (posts or PMs).
  14. Threads may be bumped three times total AND only ONE FULL DAY AFTER falling off of the front page. This does not include "sold" notices, or truly useful informational updates. Note: we CAN tell the difference between a real update and a fake bump-update. Tread that line at your own risk. If you're spam bumping, "lawyering" the rules will not save you. ALSO HIDING YOUR POST AFTER BUMPING WILL NOT SAVE YOU. Yep, we can see that stuff.
  15. Threads selling digital codes or digital versions are not allowed.
  16. Raffles are not allowed.
  17. Mystery boxes are not allowed. You must list everything you are selling exactly as the buyer will receive it.

BUYERS — When you reply to a sale thread indicating that you'll buy something you must indicate what book you're buying. Otherwise, if someone else is more specific than you are first, your offer won't be considered valid.

Just curious why I can’t list in multiple places? 

The community here long ago decided to make that one of our marketplace "rules" - it has been debated over the years, but it still stands as one of our rules.

I think one component of the logic goes something like this - if someone posts a 'take it' on a book listed for sale here, we all basically consider that to be a binding transaction...but what if one minute after someone here takes the book, an eBay seller buys it - now you are obligated by eBay to sell the book to the eBay buyer, and the buyer here who you have implicitly sold the book to by virtue of their 'take it' gets shafted, etc., etc.

Basically, when we decide to sell books here, we pull them down from everywhere else to give the boards a shot...if there are no takers here after some time period that you determine, close the thread here and re-list them elsewhere.

@fishpaul You can try posting a booth in VCC (starts tomorrow). They are allowing cross-posting with other sites now.

You can also post in the advertising thread.

Not sure what the original justification was, but, IMHO it makes the sales threads here a bit more special.

Thank you, how do I delete the listing ?

The easiest thing to do is click the "Mark as Sold" green button you see up at the top of your first post (only you can see that). That doesn't really necessarily mean they sold...it just closes and locks the thread.
