In order to participate in the classifieds section, you must have a quality post count of 50 or more
You can also bypass the 50 posts by BECOMING A SITE SUPPORTER HERE: https://www.indianagunowners.com/account/upgrades
This policy is in place to help weed out scammers/spammers and gives our members a chance to get a feel for you as a board member. Do not attempt to gain access to the classifieds by posting a bunch of "one-liners". That will not work. Thank you and enjoy the classifieds!
Remember the classifieds are a PERK for CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS. This is either by posting on a somewhat regular basis* outside of the classifieds or by becoming a Site Supporter. We are no longer letting members get their minimum post requirement and then spend the rest of their time selling in the classifieds without supporting the site that allows them to do so.
(* "regular basis" is at the staff's discretion)
Failure to comply with any of these rules will result in the immediate removal of your ad. There will be no warning, no explanation, no PM to inform you your ad has been removed. Thanks for your understanding in this matter!
1. Prefix your ad using the drop-down selector with:
3. After your ad has been up for 24 hours you may 'bump' it once in a 24-hour period. This means that no less than 24 hours after the last post in the thread, you may add a new post ("bumping") to allow your ad to come back to the top to be noticed. DO NOT try to get around this by posting "replied to all PMs" or something similar. If your item is SPF(sold pending funds) you must edit your first/original post to state that but do NOT bump your ad.
4. All WTS ads require a price. No price listed with "best offer" will be taken as an auction and those are not allowed.
ALL FREE, WTS & WTT classifieds on INGO require an actual picture of the item being sold/traded. Ads that do not contain a picture will be removed. Links to pictures are not allowed. Stock pictures by themselves are not allowed.
WTB ads do not require a picture. INGO Advertisers are exempt from this rule.
5. Post your ad in the appropriate forum. Only one ad per item.
6. No links to auctions. No links to ads placed on other sites.
7. There are to be no comments by anyone other than the member who posted the ad. The ad can be bumped to the top ONCE every 24 hours from the last post by the posting member. ALL OFFERS, COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, ETC ARE TO BE SENT VIA THE "START CONVERSATION" SELECTION IN THE MEMBERS PROFILE. No more "pm sent, I'll take it, is this still available," etc. The only exception is if you start a conversation and you get a "Inbox is full" reply. We request you first report the ad to the staff using the report tab at the bottom of the post. We will try and contact the member to help them. A post in the ad saying the inbox is full will be allowed.
8. Mark your ad or the title of your ad SOLD, TRADED or GONE (don't delete the description in the title) once the item is sold, traded or no longer available. DO NOT remove the pricing that was in place as it will help cut down on the "What would be a good starting price to sell my XXX". Do not bump your ad by stating that the item is sold or spf. Simply edit your first/original post and state that the item has been sold. Then close your ad.
Steps to close your ad: While viewing your thread, click the SOLD icon at the top of the first post . You may also just lock the thread. Any ad marked SPF longer than 14 days will be treated as sold.
9. No sales of anything unlawful. This includes such things as suppressors and SBR/SBS, unless you have an FFL to permit such, and the buyer is to obtain a tax stamp on it. It also includes but is not limited to alcohol or anything else requiring licensing to lawfully sell. As "trades" are a gray area, we are going to err on the side of caution and disallow that also. If you have a question, please PM a mod and ask. INGO is the conduit by which you make contact with each other, and the responsibility for compliance with applicable law falls upon you, the buyer, and you, the seller.
10. No Price Gouging. Posting ads at ridiculous, inflated prices in order to fleece the membership or make a quick buck due to global circumstances will get your ad removed and your posting privileges revoked permanently. This practice is commonly known as "price gouging" and will not be tolerated here. The classifieds is a perk and a safe place to buy/sell/trade and we aim to keep it that way.
11.Phone numbers, Email addresses, or any other method of contact is not allowed in the ad. This bypasses the forum and opens up the classifieds to the public.
12. If you break one of these rules by accident, report your own post and let the mods know. If someone else reports it, it looks a lot less like an honest mistake.
To REPORT a post, click REPORT next to the little bell found at the bottom of each post, and then include a brief description in the subsequent pop-up that follows.
Below is a template you can use to place your ad:
WHAT:
DESCRIPTION: (caliber, mags, ammo, scratches, etc)
LOCATION: (whether you are willing to travel and how far)
PRICE:
TRADES:
