Posting ads in our Classifieds: READ AND FOLLOW!!!
Shamelessly borrowed from our friends at Northeast Shooters but applicable here as well. Failure to follow these simple instructions will result in your ad being deleted. Repeat offenders may wind up on the Ban Bus.
NOT ALLOWED:
Dealer/Commercial Sales are NOT allowed here unless pre-approved by the site admin (Gil, wolfman, Jaycee or Kozmo).
Group buys are NOT allowed here unless pre-approved by the site admin (Gil, wolfman, Jaycee or Kozmo).
Links to advertise auctions or online sales (eBay, Gunbroker, etc) are NOT allowed.
DO NOT place duplicate ads. This is not Craigs List.
When placing an ad...
1. All ad TITLES must begin with either WTS (Want to Sell), WTT (Want to Trade), WTB (Want to Buy), FREE, or some combination (WTT/WTS, etc).
2. All "For Sale" ads MUST include a sale price. This isn't an auction site.
3. You must include your general (or specific if you want) location in your ad.
4. Please specify your accepted forms of payment (cash only, cash or check, PayPal or other online service, etc...)
5. Place your ad in the proper category and DO NOT post it in multiple categories. If you can't decide where it belongs, ask a Mod.
6. Please resize your pictures to be no more than 800 pixels wide; not everyone has a 22" monitor.
7. If you're selling or trading a firearm, copy and paste the following statement into your ad:
Statement of Legal compliance:
I will comply with all Federal and State Laws. If the firearm is to be shipped, you must provide me with a signed copy of your dealer's FFL (or your 03FFL if this is a Curio and Relic). For private party face-to-face transactions (only permitted by Fed law when both buyer and seller live in same state), I will meet all applicable state and federal laws.
When ammunition, magazines or other regulated items are sold/bought or traded as part of this transaction, I agree to follow all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations pertaining to these items.
8. If you're selling a firearm, you must allow a (minimum) 3-day inspection period for any firearm shipped to a buyer. The buyer has the right to return it at the buyer's expense, with a full refund of the cost of the item (excluding any shipping costs).
9. Remember that under Massachusetts Gun Laws, private citizens can only sell a Maximum of 4 guns/calendar year in face-to-face (private) transactions. There is NO limit if you sell thru an FFL.
Feel free to use this template. Just cut & paste and then add the required information. This should cover the basics.
(***Don't forget to add WTS or WTT to your title!***)

BEFORE YOU CHIME IN ON SOMEONE ELSE'S AD, PLEASE READ:
Please limit responses in the Classifieds to specific questions about the items for sale if you are genuinely interested in buying them. No comments like, "That's really cool", "I used to have one of those and it sucked", etc. If there is something about the item that you think the seller should know or disclose, take it to a PM. If you think there is a misrepresentation in the ad, report it to a Mod or an Admin.
If you want to haggle over the price, take it to PM. There's no need to post things like, "That's way too much!" - if the seller is asking a price that's out of line, he'll get the hint when no one buys the stuff.
If you want to flame the poster, take it to another section of the site. Flaming, personal attacks and that sort of thing is tolerated on certain areas of Masscops. The Classifieds is NOT one of those places.
If there are any questions as to whether an item or items for sale are authentic or legal, or if you suspect a seller is trying to pull a fast one report it to the Moderators and/or Admins and let them handle it.
