Updated Trading Post Rules for 2026 - READ THIS BEFORE PARTICIPATING!

[titanNV]

Now we know this is a LOT of reading, but if you aren't one to read, you probably shouldn't be on a message board or forum in the first place. Failure to follow these rules in NOT an "honest mistake". It is willfully deciding to not read and/or follow the rules and will result in punitive measures, which may include banishment from the Trading Post; temporary or permanent bans from the entire forum. We don't want to do that, so please, Read and Adhere to these Rules!

Sellers:

Posting ads in the Trading Post is now reserved for Forum Supporters & Trading Post Subscribers only!

Pics Of ACTUAL ITEM IN YOUR POSSESSION being offered for sale so buyers can judge its condition

Price IN US DOLLARS. If it is an item to Trade, there must be a Trade Value listed.

Location (city and if outside of NV, the state also)

Consolidate Ads - No more than 2 ads per member per subforum. Yes you can have 2 in each of these subforums: Firearms: Pistol, Rifle & Shotgun Sales, Non-Firearms Related Sales, Ammo, Reloading, Parts, Mags, Optics, etc Sales

Bumping - No bumping within 24 hours of your most recent post in the thread. No 'courtesy' bumps. These are bumps from friends to circumvent the 24 hour rule.

No "selling for a friend" ads. If it's not yours, don't list it!

Do not post the multiple ads for the same item(s). (If you want to get your ad to the top, see "Bumping" above.)

Trading Post ads will close automatically if there has been no activity (comments or bumps) after 30 days.

Price drops, items being added, additional information of any kind, anything the OP adds to the ad should be place in the first post of the ad via the edit button so that folks don't have to search through the ad to find it, and also to possibly avoid the information update being an early bump, one less than 24 hours after the last post in the ad, no matter who made that post.

-NO PERSONALLY RELOADED AMMUNITION may be offered for sale. Commercially reloaded ammunition such as that produced by companies like Precision Cartridge, Black Hills, etc. is allowed for sale, but no unknown source ammunition may be offered for sale.
-NO SALES OF BANNED ITEMS or otherwise ILLEGAL SALES! Firearms Sales to persons living in NV must follow all NV state firearms laws as well as Federal Firearms Laws, and go through a FFL Dealer.


Close your own thread instead of Reporting it to staff to close it. It is easy and saves everyone time:

Buyers:

Responding to Ads in the Trading Post:
The first "I'll take it" post in the ad takes precedence over other responses. No soliciting counter offers, This site IS NOT AN AUCTION SITE! And seeking counter offers is starting an auction!

Questions, comments, or offers of trades should be made via a PM sent to the ad OP, not posted in the ad as a reply.
Many of these "offers of trades" are now actually ads themselves, without a price or a picture, if posted in the OPs ad, which violates trading post rules, and are also often made by folks who do not have trading post privileges, another violation of the rules, so send them via a PM.
Many are also "free bumps" by buddies that help the ad OP get around the 24-hour bump rule and keep the ad at the top of the list in that section.

The only things folks should be posting as replies to someone else's ad are "I'll Take it" or "I'll take it Pending inspection" or "2nds if the deal falls through" or "3rds if the deal falls through". Nothing else, including "PM sent".
No "Thread Crapping"
"Members who seek to derail, interfere or degrade ("THREAD CRAPPING") another members WTS/WTB thread will lose their Trading Post privileges indefinitely and may be subject to infraction points. Repeated offenders will be banned.
If you do not feel the price is appropriate or the product offered is sub-par, keep it to yourself. Let the buyer decide and the seller respond in kind. Do not try and negatively influence a sale."


I don't care if somebody is selling a 10/22 for $8,000. Do not post in people's for sale threads unless you are interested in buying it.


Sellers and Buyers:
After a transaction is complete, leaving Feedback is encouraged.
Do not leave more than one feedback for a single deal.

Firearms Sales to persons living in other states must follow NV State Firearms Laws, the Firearms laws of the state of residence of the buyer or seller, and all Federal Firearms Laws, and go through a Federal Firearms Dealer. NO EXCEPTIONS!
The Nevada Shooters forum does not condone either the breaking of, nor the circumventing of, the laws of this state and this country, and encourages all our members to follow all city, county, state and federal laws regarding the sale, transfer, and / or possession of firearms and any other object which may be legally offered for sale here on the forum in our Trading Post Section.

We are aware that there are ongoing investigations by several agencies, county, state and federal, who may be viewing the various activities and postings in all sections on this forum at any time.

The Nevada Shooters forum reserves the right to remove any member from our rolls who knowingly violates the law and does so by using the services provided by this forum.

Finally all transactions and feedback are the responsibility of the buyer, seller and/or trader. Nevada Shooters nor it's parent company, 2A Group LLC is not responsible for any situation, including disregarding Federal, State or Local laws, hurt feelings, traffic accidents, internet outages, scammers, etc. You are responsible for your own actions!

A nice addition would be a rule to " send all lowball offers via pm , and not in the ad post"

Not needed, since there is a rule that states all offers, anything other than an "I'll Take it" or "I'll take it pending inspection" are to be sent via a PM, not posted in the ad.
This also includes NOT posting the message "PM sent" no need for that, just send the PM!

Maybe all those 32 sticky posts nobody reads should be consolidated into one with all the rules needing followed .... But they still wouldn't read them.

Thats why I added it to the original Rules post instead of creating another.

But yes, one day I'll fix all of that...

Yah, RIGHT!!.....................oh, wait, were you serious boss??

Better be careful I hear he read Hillary's book on how to make a unalive look like suicide

Never understood selling for a friend. Those guys would always want you to goto the FFL for transfer. But I have my doubts that the gun was transferred at a FFL to the friend to be sold (which would need to happen because item should be in sellers possession right?).

Good rule change.

 

[NecroGxth]

I know someone on here personally that does the PM sent thing. I can only speculate i believe they do it because they think it kinda reserves the item for them, which it doesnt. But since no one reads the rules, i think most people assume it actually does reserve it in some sense, so it kinda works?

Im not a fan tho, since it doesnt reserve it, there is just a level of confusion and items my not sell, or the seller might see less offers if there is a comment on it trying to reserve the item. Lastly, lets say the person doesnt go through with it, which is very common. Now it leaves people speculating whats wrong with the item, why didnt the sale go through.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[titanNV]

We should ban the PM sent like they do on Gunboards lol

 

[NYECOGunsmith]

And remember we don't allow the sale of illegal items, and for the time being, per the Nevada State Attorney General, that includes Forced Reset Triggers (FRT's).

 

[titanNV]

Updated this and consolidated many of the sticky/pinned posts.

I really like this rule. It drives me crazy having to scroll through pages and pages of an ad.

It's been a rule for a long time but folks aren't aware and we haven't really enforced it.
