If you just sell used parts, please use the “Used Parts for Sale” category.
If you sell multiple parts that are new and used, feel free to combine them inside one thread. In that case you can choose either one of the 2 Categories.
Listing Must Contain
Location of you or the item.
Price in the currency you want to receive
Price per Item. If you sell a bundle, then only the one price for the whole bundle is needed. OBO can be added if you wish.
At least one photo inside your Sales post is mandatory.
You are trying to sell your stuff here, so please make it as easy as you can for others. No hoops needed!
Be ready to supply shipping quotes because you will be asked.
Avoid
Best offer without price
Using just the “Esk8 Parts market” category, that’s a no no!
Missing anything of the “Must contain list” duh.
Posting your item in another person’s post
No Auctions or Links to external sites like Ebay
“first one that pays me gets it” madness
Payment by Paypal Friends and Family, venmo or any other unsecure methods.

There is a template that will auto populate in an approved format on all new topics opened in this category. The goal is to avoid missing obvious items that would cause a topic to be locked and slow down sales.
You are free to create your own, as long as it meets the requirements for a Sales thread…
As for ebay, not quite sure. That rule has been here since before i started cleaning up the esk8 news mess.
Maybe it has also to do with us then “advertising” auctions, maybe because we’d otherwise end up with listing containing nothing but a ebay links if the other rules didn’t exist.
Also, doesn’t make sense to sell via ebay if you can save the fees if you sell here.
posting eBay links is the result of one of those discretionary things. I don’t actually care if somebody is auctioning their board on eBay, as long as there isn’t a corresponding thread here about it with a lot of comments and bullshit and negativity. I just really don’t like the vibes of actions. so much tension and negativity.
We can host gambling events like raffles and auctions if the proceeds go to charity, legally, if I recall correctly. And I’m needy, so any money I make counts as charity.
Ebay isn’t in Florida and has proper licenses and permissions.
I’m really not sure how else to say it. This forum, hosted in Florida, is not a non profit, does not have a licensed auctioneer, and is not licensed to nor legally able to host an auction or raffle. Nor are we a religious organization, which is also allowed to do some of those things.
