Here is yet an other good suggestion....

I think AO needs a classifieds forum. How cool would it be to be able to buy and sell computer parts, programs, books, maybe even your old computer.... I for have like 30 computer programming books that I don't need anymore, and would love to sell them.... JP if you do like this suggestion, and you do make a classifieds forum. If it's ok with you I would like to be the forums Moderator..... I have been thinking about this idea for a while now I even made some rules for the forum...


***//Rules

1. Do not flame a thread because you feel the price is bad or for any reason.
2. No auction style posts (take it to Ebay). This includes links to auctions on other sites.
3. No COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING (In other words... no SPAMING!)
4. ABSOLUTELY NO sales of firearms, drugs (or ANY controlled substances), or illegal copies of any software.


***//Before a Trade:

• Get the buyer/seller's real home address. Do not rely on a P.O. Box.
• Get the buyer/seller's phone number and actually call that person.
• Check to see if that phone number and address are listed at Big Yellow, Switchboard, or some other resource to make sure they match.
• Reference the seller or buyer on http://heatware.elitehardware.com/ before you finalize the deal.
• NEVER ship without some form of tracking number.
• No PRICE CHECK posts allowed.


If for some reason a deal does go bad, here are a few things that you can do:

• If the item was shipped via the USPS, you can contact them and alert them to the possibility of mail fraud. The USPS Postal Inspectors page (http://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/) provides some info on theft/fraud and includes a search engine to find your nearest Postal Inspection Service office.
• Hire a private investigator that can get you detailed info on the person for $100 or less.
• Contact your local authorities. They can assist you in getting in touch with federal authorities if you are dealing with an interstate (between states) transaction. Let this be a warning: If you scam, you will go to jail. However 99% of the time it is NOT a scam, just poor communication between the two parties. So before you begin the deal make sure you have a clear line of communication.


***All trades are done at your own risk. Antionline.com holds NO liability for any deals gone wrong or lost product/money.
You must take all available precautions BEFORE you conduct a deal. Regardless of those precautions, you take the responsibility for your own actions during any transaction.
The bottom line is this, DON’T COME TO US FOR BAD TRADES. THEY ARE 100% YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HANDLE PROPERLY.



I hope you all like this suggestion have a nice day.....
Happy 4/20
