Hello & Welcome!
In this article, we'll go through the best practices for listing an item here in our Classifieds sections. By following these best practices, the experience will be better for all the visitors and also create consistency in our listings.
Some basic non negotiables:
Marketplace Rules & Guidelines
1. No Stock Photos
• All listings must include original photos of the actual item for sale.
2. Pricing Requirement
• Every item must have a price listed. No “Make Offer” or “DM for Price” listings.
3. Magazine Compliance
• Any magazine listing must state whether it is CA Compliant/Blocked in the description.
4. Prohibited Items
• FLUX systems are not allowed.
• 80% receivers/frames are not allowed.
5. Listing Integrity
• We reserve the right to remove listings at our discretion.
• Do not edit or remove the title, description, or price after a sale. This helps maintain transparency for buyers and sellers.
6. Commenting on Price
• No negative comments or discussions about pricing.
• However, users are allowed to leave emojis in response.
Step 1. Navigate to the Classifieds section. Do NOT create a listing in the forum.
Once common difference is we're not like Calguns. Our Classified system is a space in itself.
Here once you create a listing, a thread in the forum will be created so people can discuss.
Step 2. Create a Listing

Step 4. Create your listing.
This is fairly straight forward so I'll highlight the important parts.
Title - Location: This means to put the title - city or location you are making this offering
eg. Mantis X-10 - Richmond
Title = What you are Selling
Location = City
This makes it easy for people to read..
Choosing WTS - automatically adds the prefix
Example: Please Look at the title... Burris Veracity PH - $City
This helps your item get seen better. Description is separate

Images - Use landscape format (Horizontal) 16x9 aspect ration for best results.

Other relevant info
Now that you've created your listing. You'll see some tools that you can use.
Bump - allowed once per day. This will be changed as the sites gains more traction.
Press the button, no need to make a post
Add Faq for other MISC questions
Close - The listing is no longer available.
Mark Sold - The system will list the item as sold and change the item type.
Add Transaction is not really necessary but good if you're mailing something and want to be very thorough.

A discussion thread will automatically be created on the forum side for people to navigate to. People can discuss the item freely, but please report any comments regarding price. We only want the discussion to be about the item listed.
