To keep our community safe and high-quality, all listings must adhere to the following guidelines. Failure to follow these steps will result in your post being removed.
📦 Seller Requirements
- Personal Sales Only: No business or retail listings allowed. You may not post on behalf of third parties or other businesses.
- Verification Photo Required: You must include a photo of the item with a handwritten note featuring your forum username and the current date. This helps demonstrated you have the item in your possession.
- Pricing & Details: Every listing must include a clear asking price and a detailed description. Vague posts (e.g., "1955 parts for sale, DM for info") will be deleted.
- No "Off-Site" Only Listings: Do not simply post links to Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. All photos and descriptions must be hosted here.
- Note: eBay links are permitted only if the full description and photos are also included in your forum post.
- Connectivity & Security: Posts made via VPNs, iCloud Private Relay, or proxies are prohibited to prevent fraud.
- Mark as Sold: Once your item is gone, reply to your thread stating it is SOLD. Please do not message moderators to delete the thread.
🛡️ Privacy & Safety
- No Public Contact Info: Never post your phone number or email address publicly. Scrapers and bots use this data for spam and harassment. Always use the Direct Message (DM) system for sharing contact details.
⚠️ Buyer Protection & Tips
Disclaimer: The forum is not responsible for any losses or scams. Protect yourself by following these best practices:- Demand a Voice Call: Never rely solely on text or email. While AI voice technology has become sophisticated, a real-time phone conversation is still a critical hurdle for many scammers. If they refuse to talk, walk away.
- Request Specific Photos: Ask the seller for a new photo of the part with a specific phrase (like "Thunderbird Forum" + the date) to ensure the item hasn't been sold already.
- Use Protected Payments: Whenever possible, ask the seller to list the item on a platform with buyer protection (like eBay) to ensure your funds are secured.
