Welcome to the Selling and Buying Board. In the past, there was only a single forum as a catch-all place for metal-related transactions between all users, no matter whether it was for trading goods with other metalheads, or purchasing those goods. We've decided to separate those two purposes into two distinct forums: one strictly for trading (found here) and one for selling and buying (the one you're in). What this means is the following:

  • If you are looking to sell music-related goods to others, this is the forum you do that in.
  • If you want to buy goods from others, and not merely trade for them, this is the forum you do that in.
  • If you want to trade music-related items with other users, do that in the "Trading Board".
  • If you are looking to do a trade with another user, please also do that in the "Trading Board".

You are more than permitted to have threads in each forum for the purpose of trading or selling your goods.
We also ask that you DO NOT create duplicate threads for your wares; please keep it to one thread and update that thread as necessary.
We will be enforcing this.

ONLY ONE TOPIC PER USER! :getout:

Thank you,
Metal Archives Staff

That said, here are the rules for the "Selling and Buying Board":

1. All board rules that apply to other areas of the board also apply here.

2. The MA Staff is not responsible for the conduct of buyers or sellers! As much as we would like to, we can't make sellers or buyers be honest and upstanding. While we do try to help safeguard against bad users, this forum is still very much caveat emptor (let the buyer beware).

3. Seeing that this is a metal board, please try to keep the sold and bought items limited to goods that are related to heavy metal. Feel free to include DVDs, videogames, and other stuff in your list if the mood takes you. Users selling illegal material (such as drugs, et al) over this board will be banned. If you post something like "Selling my virginity" or "Selling my love," you'll be banned for being a damn moron.

4. If you want to give feedback, or look at feedback for other traders, look at the Seller/Buyer Feedback Center thread. That's what it's there for. And while we're at it, don't derail the thread with personal arguments. Take it to another thread, or better yet, PM or email.

5. This board is not, I repeat, IS NOT EBAY. We do not hold auctions of any kind here; any "auction threads" will be locked. And if you have inflated asking prices for your goods, everyone will laugh at you. You are, of course, free to link to eBay if you prefer.

6. The board mods do not condone posting personal information about other posters in any way. However, if you are a known scammer or get caught doing a significant amount of scamming, don't be shocked if the mods look the other way if your information is posted. If you're a habitual mail fraud perpetrator, the board mods aren't going to toot their navels to make sure you're able to continue your bullshit. See also Rule 1.

7. If there is sufficient reason to believe that you're a habitual ripoff artist (as opposed to someone who just had shit happen), you run the risk of losing access to this board, or being exiled from the site altogether. So be honest or don't sell/buy here. If you want a haven for crooks, go back to Usenet.

8. This board defines "bad selling or buying activities" as the following activities: Lying about condition or authenticity of goods, intentionally sending the wrong goods, sending the goods/payment unreasonably late, not sending goods at all, not adhering to the agreed terms of the trade (concerning payment and shipping as well as goods), taking the money and running, and just flat being a headache to deal with. This list also includes any and all dumbshit stunts one might think up in order to rip another off.

9. No NSBM, RAC, Hatecore, etc. music that uses the platform to push a bigoted, racist, xenophobic, homophobic etc. agenda. If you're trying to run a distro for NSBM/RAC/white power distro merchandise, or something along those lines, your thread will be removed without notice.

10. What happens in this forum STAYS here.

Hello, I admit a bit of anarchy on this topic in the past. But couple of days ago I uploaded an old thread (on the selling board), changed title and everything. Didn't open a new one. Now I can't see it anymore. If you want you can merge all my old selling threads in one. Now I'll try to do it again. Thanks :scratch:

The exact same answer I gave you in the private message:
Because it's promoting a label/distro and not just a private trading list.

Thanks Mod, I have corrected it.
Can it switch back to Selling and Buying Board again Mod? I appreciate it.
Thank you.

No, because you are selling t-shirts put out by your label.

This bump-delete-bump stuff has to stop.

If you make a post then delete your comment or start a new thread but delete it before any comments are posted I might just ban you.
The whole idea is to build up a history so people can see your trading practices, adding and updating items, responding to comments/questions, posting photos, placing feedback etc is all good stuff, unless you delete it

So to sum up: bump-delete-bump = possible ban, I might lock you up till you explain to me why I shouldn't.
If that doesn't work you'll get handed to admin...

How to find your old threads, I use it to see if you guys are starting multiple threads or not.
So you may as well use it yourself for the exact same thing :nods:

Wanted to buy goes in buying/selling viewforum.php?f=19
Wanted to swap goes in trading viewforum.php?f=6

You have to combine them into the same thread, so if you have some things to sell but you also want to buy some things too they both go in the one thread in buying/selling and if you have some things you want to swap for other things they both go in trading.

I've just spent about an hour dishing out warnings, editing threads, moving posts and private messaging users about their conduct in here.

We have rules, you will heed them, repeat offenders face a ban :panda:

Hello. About 5-6 days ago I posted my topic to sell some stuff. But it's still not available, I can't see my stuff among other topics. Is it still on moderation, or newbies just not allowed to post in selling board? Though, I checked the Rules thread (this), and didn't find any info that newbies can't post here. Please explain. Thank you.

Added a rule to the original post:

- No NSBM, RAC, Hatecore, etc. music that uses the platform to push a bigoted, racist, xenophobic, homophobic etc. agenda.

This policy has technically been in place all along, but it has not been explicitly written down, although it shouldn't come as a surprise that Metal Archives does not involve itself or provide a platform for the promotion of bigoted propaganda. These situations will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. If you're worried about how this policy might affect you, here is an example:

- If you have a list of black metal that contains bands whose members are purported to have bigoted views, we're not going to meticulously research them, and then delete your entire list for containing 1% suspicious artists. Mistakes can happen, and we'll deal with it gracefully.
- If you're running a full-blown NSBM/RAC/Hatecore/white power merch distro, or something along those lines, with the odd band in the mix that might not be explicitly Nazi, your complete list will be removed, no questions asked.

Hello, call me a doof, fine, but I have no idea where to post that I actually have two sets of tickets to sell. We face problems getting into certain countries and have to sell:
2 tickets all-day-all-venues for Maryland Deathfest coming May, Baltimore MD USA
3 tickets all-day-all-venues for UK Deathfest in September, London, UK
I don't want to make money, I just want to see my tickets used. Call it fair price I want, all in good discussion.
Any tips, do's and don'ts please? So far I haven't used any means of messaging on this board, see? If needed, move this post or let me know.
