FAQs

Is this the first time you are using a forum to buy and sell your used items ?
Here are some general tips and advice.

Use Prefixes (e.g. WTS, WTB, MTWS, etc )

Our forum is equipped with prefix functionality. When you create a thread, in any category under garage sales and marketplace, you will notice a "Prefix" drop-down box. Select the one that is most appropriate for your intention

WTS - Want to Sell
WTB - Want to Buy
WTT - Want to Trade

MW** = Might Want to

When your item is sold, it will be a good courtesy to indicate your item is sold by using the SOLD prefix.

If you decide not to sell and close thread, you can add a CLOSED prefix as well.

Provide a photo of your item

A picture speaks a thousand words. Providing a picture gives the potential buyer a better look at your item and its condition.

It helps the buyer and have a better trust in you in your future sales of items in the forums. Who knows, you might get an increase of reputation

Thank you.
