    Classified Rules

    1. All items for sale must include a price and where they are located. However, an exception to the rule will be made if you are parting out a whole car. At least 10 parts must be listed with prices, the other parts can be by email or PM request.
    ...why is it just for the...for sale items?
    I was told...(so people know what parts are selling for)
    ...in the parts wanted section, people are PMed prices and no one knows what the part sold for...:huh:

    Seems that if they pm me with a price it keeps it from becoming a price war.
    I don't see much in the rules about want ads unless I am missing it somewhere..

    Although the mandatory price in the classifieds can be used as a gauge to see what items are being sold for, it was added to the rules to thwart dishonest sellers from selling. It is unfortunate but most of the rules are a result of a few bad apples.
