G'day all.

This section is created with the intent to allow forumers to sell their existing golf items or buy from others. To create a safe and comfortable environment while minimising any disputes to any sale or trade, here are the RULES AND GUIDELINES:

1. MANDATORY! - Please provide ORIGINAL clear pictures of the items you are selling or trading. This is to prevent fraud or false reporting on condition of your item/s. NO EBAY PICTURES ALLOWED. If sellers are facing difficulties in uploading pictures, please read this thread. Alternatively, you can PM any of the Marshalls or caddies for assistance.

2. ALL ITEMS MUST HAVE A SALE PRICE.

3. Items listed must be in YOUR POSSESSION. This is to minimise dispute or bad sales.

4. No NEGATIVE comments regarding seller's asking prices of items. If you wanna be friendly and inform him of the market rate, that is what the 'pm' is for.

5. Please state if item is 'New' or 'Second Hand'. For your information, 'New' means the golf club or item has never been hit or used before at all. Anything else is considered second hand.

6. NO 'BUMPING' OF THREADS. However, sellers may add new items to their current thread. As this family grows bigger, 'Bumping' puts less active members with an ad thread at a disadvantage to those more active members who are trying to do a quick sale. Users will be allowed to ask questions and discuss issues in moderation in WTS/WTB threads provided that such questions and discussions do not cause too much of a digression and/or the seller/buyer does not object to the same.

7. PLEASE POST OR PM ME WHEN ITEM/S ARE SOLD. THREAD WILL BE LOCKED AND DELETED WITHIN A DAY. SIMILARLY, FOR ALL ITEM/S THAT ARE MARKED SOLD, HOLDING THREADS WILL BE REMOVED WITHOUT NOTICE. Users are advised to create new threads to continue their discussions if needed.

8. Only golf-related items are to be for sale. All other sales will be locked and deleted without notice. We would however allow ACTIVE members exception on case by case basis. Members may pm any moderators for permission.

9. No selling of fake / clone / counterfeit items. Postings will be removed without notice.

10. All buyers are reminded that they buy at their own risk and should therefore undertake their own due diligence when shopping at the Marketplace (or anywhere else for that matter).

11. Sellers are reminded that this is a public forum and the Marketplace should not be treated as a place to profit from fellow GR'ers. All are friends, after all.

12. The Admin reserves the right to remove any listing on the Marketplace without notice or liability to anyone and without the need to provide reasons whatsoever.

13. GR shall neither be responsible nor liable to anyone for their use of the Marketplace (or the rest of this forum) and therefore, all users are encouraged to exercise their own discretion when buying or selling items here.

14. Please refrain from chatting in people's sale thread. Postings not related to sale will be deleted.

15. NO DOUBLE POSTING OF SAME ITEM. THAT INCLUDES CLOSING AN OLD THREAD AND RELISTING SAME ITEM IN NEW THREAD. REPEAT OFFENDERS WILL BE BANNED.

16. Only users with more than 10 posts would be allowed to start topics in the marketplace. This is to prevent users from signing up and posting at marketplace and treating our forum as free classified.

17. All buyers and sellers who use the Marketplace are deemed to have agreed to the terms and conditions above in their use thereof.

Failure to comply with instructions may result in LOCKING AND DELETION of your thread.

Very Respectfully
Your Marketplace Moderator
