Selling/Trading Forums Rules:
Please Note that in order to post in the selling & trading forums you must be a member for at least 30 days or have at least 30 post on our site. Once you have met the 30 day 30 post mark as a normal member status you are permitted to post 3 sales/trade threads per 30 days & 5 sales/trade threads per 30 for Premium Members. These policies were introduced due to members joining our community only for the purpose of "selling or getting out of the hobby sales" We are not an ebay of any sort and strongly recommend dedicated members uses these forums only. We have the right to change the post and date conditions at any time. Random posting just to get your post count up in order to qualify in these forums "WILL BE MONITORED" ! Caught doing so will lead to site suspension or restricted access.
In the past several months we have seen a vast increase of selling and trading of non-reef related items. Due to this we are going to ask everyone not to post non-reef related items in "ANY" of the forums including the Selling & Trading forums. These Forums are for selling & trading of hobby related items. Non-reef related posted in these forums will be removed.
Also please note that items that are For Sale "MUST" be posted with a price in your thread or it will be deleted.
If you are trading or selling equipment, repeatedly selling new equipment, having multiples of the same new item(s), or being able to "get anything" a poster may ask for is a sure-fire way to have your post removed as "commercial." If solicited by someone selling item commercially please contact a Moderator or Use the Report Post to Moderator link. If you are a commercial seller please feel free to contact [email protected] for details on Sponsorship opportunities
Links to auctions are not permitted. If you wish to offer a non-commercial sale here, the community appreciates that. However, advertising auctions is not what these forums were designed for.
Likewise, Michigan Reefers encourages the sale and trade of items between hobbyists, but not for the resale of corals or equipment purchased for only that intent - that's not what these forums are here for. Also, once you have a website set up specifically to sell your frags, begin accepting credit cards and/or have automatic web-ordering, you can figure we will judge you as a commercial enterprise.
These are not discussion forums. If you wish to purchase or trade, please post. However, if you only wish to comment on the quality or price of someone else's trade/sale item, with no intention of buying/trading, please don't post. This only sidetracks the thread away from the intent of the original poster - trading or selling their item.
Member Account Information:
Michigan Reefers permits only ONE account per member.
If we identify that you have more then one account for any reason we will issue you a warning and may suspend all accounts or suspend you from the site permanently.
Please keep in mind that these forums are a service MR provides. Following the above guidelines help make the forums more user-friendly, and certainly makes them easier to moderate.
Thank you.
