Arcade & Retro Marketplace Charter - READ FIRST!

Myrddin

Welcome to the Arcade & Retro Marketplace!

Following on from the successful trading only forum, we've decided to expand the capabilities of this forum to allow sales of arcade & retro gaming items. There are a few provisos folks, so take the time to read this charter carefully, to ensure you're not breaching any rules we've set out.

Forum Rules:

Users, be they selling or buying, must have a post-count of at least 50 or more. Any offers/ads/comments by users not meeting these criteria will be removed.

Sellers must set an asking price. Buyers can make offers, lower than or equal to that asking price. Offers higher than the asking price are not allowed, & will be removed. Users who continue to offer higher than asking price, will be infracted/banned.

No off thread dealing via pm. All offers & discussion are to remain on-thread until the seller accepts an offer/price. Only then, may they engage a pm conversation to discuss collection/postage etc. At the first sign of off-thread dealing, a ban will be handed out without warning.

No thread spoiling. If you feel the price isn't right for you on a thread, don't spoil it, just ignore it. Thread spoiling/non constructive posting will be removed & users will be infracted/banned.

Any sales that take place are between you & the seller, & is a private sale. As such, if items are broken/defective/lost in post etc, this is a matter between you & the seller. Boards.ie is not a third party, & there is no onus on boards.ie to intervene in any disputes. Any disputes between buyer & seller are to happen via pm, & not on thread.

Trading & Freebies happen as before, users are free to engage in discussion about potential trades etc. State the description clearly, & use a picture if possible to show the item or items.

When posting please set the relevant prefix [FOR SALE], [FREE], [TRADE] or [WANTED] . If you do not do this a Moderator may edit your post to do so.

Sellers constantly found to be backing out of previously agreed deals will be asked not to participate in the forum. So if selling, please ensure you're happy with the deal & see it through.

Retro gaming & arcade items only. No vintage toasters, no PS3/360 games etc

General Rules:

No flaming, baiting or trolling
All posts should be constructive,relevant & on topic
No personal abuse of any kind
Be courteous & civil at all times
A Mod decision is final, if you disagree with a decision feel free to take it to the pm level.
If you've been banned & have discussed the ban with the forum mod and you're not happy with the outcome, there is a Dispute Resolution Procedure you can follow. Don't argue with a mod on thread.

This charter is likely to change as the forum evolves, please check back regularly. By using this forum, you are agreeing that you are happy with the above terms. That's it folks, happy gaming!
