Please note that this facility is for participating forum members who have already contributed by posting on the forum. If you register here just to post something for sale without participating elsewhere on the forum, your advert will probably be removed. In addition and in case of misunderstanding, this means that if you only post items for sale in this forum and don't take part elsewhere on the forum, your adverts will be deleted and you will probably be banned from posting in the forum. This is not a portal for your EBay shop or other business and should not be treated as such, it is only for forum members (who already participate on the forum) to avail of and should not be abused in any way.
When posting adverts, please remember to put your location (country) in the advert, unless you already have this in your profile. It's not essential to put any private information like telephone numbers in the advert, although you can of course do this if you want to. Anyone interested in the item for sale can send you a PM and you can pass on any information that way if you prefer.
It's better if you do not put your e-mail address in your advert, otherwise scammers from Nigeria and other places will try to con you out of your hard earned cash. Not only that, but bots trawling the web for fresh e-mail addresses will pick it up very quickly. Don't complain to me if you post your e-mail address in an advert and are contacted by scammers or spammers, you've been warned. Examples of scam e-mails can be found on this page http://www.goldwingfacts.com/scamemails.htm
When you sell or buy the item, please send a PM to either the moderator (wexman) or myself (wingnut) with the name and date of your advert so that we can delete it and free up space. We will probably prune older adverts every couple of months anyway.
Please post prices for items in US Dollars, Euro or UK Sterling.
If you are looking for an item, please put Wanted; (followed by the item you want) in the subject line of the post. Example;
Wanted; GL1500 front wheel.

Adding pictures with your advertisement.
You can post one picture of an item for sale with your advert. Instructions for posting pictures (taken from the FAQ section) are as follows;
You can use the "attachment" box at the bottom of the message editor and browse to the image on your hard drive and upload it. Currently the size limit is 512kbs for each image and the images must be Jpeg, Jpg or Gif format. Images should not be wider than 700 pixels, this is to prevent the forum screen going wider than your monitor when large images are posted.
You can also link to images on another server if you prefer. Instructions for this (taken from the FAQ section) are as follows;
Use the "insert image" button on the text editor to link to an image on another site. When you click the button you will see a pop-up box to insert the URL of the image into. To get the URL of an image on a web site, just right click on it (Internet Explorer, I'm not sure how it's done in other browsers) and then click properties. In the Address (URL) line just copy the URL before composing your message here and paste it into the pop-up box that you will see when you click the "insert image" button. The "insert image" button looks like this; 
You can post several pictures (up to the allocated space available to you) in the Gallery and place a link to them in your advert.
--------------------
Commercial Advertisements.
No spam is ever allowed here. We don't want the loyal forum members being subjected to spam, there is enough of it on the web already. We have a zero tolerance policy for spam. We may allow some commercial adverts on a case by case basis if we think it is to the benefit of our forum members, but you will need to ask first. If you post spam or any commercial adverts without permission from the Senior Moderator or myself, we will delete the post and ban you from posting again.
