POLICY FOR "FOR SALE" ITEMS - As of 3-8-2015

[gerryvz]

If you want to sell your item, make it easy for buyers to assess and decide if further inquiry is warranted, by providing the following minimum required information, thus avoiding buyers from having to ask the same questions every time an ad is posted. Buyers will always have questions, but let’s mitigate the need to do so, by providing:

1. A general physical description of the item(s)
2. Serial numbers, model numbers and/or other identifying information
3. An honest assessment of the operational condition of the item
4. Pictures that clearly show the item, without hiding defects (i.e. front drivers seat picture? Show the common wear points.)
5. Asking price is a MUST. Ads without an asking price are subject to removal

If an item is non-working or damaged in some way, that is fine as long as this is noted.

500Eboard Management will delete within 24 hours of posting, all "FOR SALE" posts that do not include helpful information for potential buyers.

Items posted for sale should have direct relevance for 500E/E500 — and at a minimum the W124 and its variants. For-sale items that are for the 400E/E420 MUST be posted to the 400E/E420 section "Parts for Sale" sub-forum. For-sale items that are not E500E relevant, will be moved to the "Off-topic Discussions" sub-forum.

In addition, please take the time to take photos and to prepare your detailed description of the item(s) you are selling BEFORE you post it to this forum. A little extra time taken in the preparation will very likely result in a much faster sale of the item(s) you are advertising. It is merely a common courtesy to the rest of the forum.

Thank you!
