Classifieds Post Content
Only list for sale or trade items that are already in your possession. Include clear photographs of your items (in good light -- no blurry night-time “potato shots”) along with proof of ownership, such as your Geekhack.org user name and current date appearing next to your goods (digital watermarks added after the photographs were taken do not count).

All items for sale must include an explicit price. If you are unsure how much an item is worth, you may ask in the Price Check (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=31779.0) thread. If you are not satisfied with that option and prefer an auction, you can always list your items on eBay and similar sites. It is the responsibility of the seller to determine the exchange rate if the transaction includes multiple currencies.
Trade-only threads/items do not require an explicit listed price.
Shipping and payment terms should be explicitly listed (this includes any shipping zone restrictions, such as “CONUS only”). Your country of residence / item location needs to be specified in your profile or your Classifieds thread, as well as whether you intend to use a proxy for shipping.
Your item descriptions must clearly describe what you are selling or trading.

If you are trying to sell your spot in a group buy or take over someone else's spot in a group buy, you should do so in the corresponding group buy thread instead of in the Classifieds.
All updates and changes to sale/trade terms, price drops, temporary price drops or additions must be done in the first post of your Classifieds thread, which you are always able to edit. They should not be on a random page in your Classifieds thread. When you update your original post, you should also update the thread title to reflect the changes. If you would like to keep a rolling thread that you use to sell many items over a long period of time, that is allowed as long as you keep it clean and up-to-date.
Old sales thread are a valuable resource for determining fair market prices. Please don't remove useful information such as items sold and their prices from your OPs. Please make sure your thread titles reflect what was offered in the thread, so that future users browsing old threads will be able to see at a glance whether they're interested in looking at your threads.
