GeneralReplies to Ads The purpose of the classifieds is to buy and sell. There are plenty of other forums on GBO if you want to post you opinion on something. NO Editorials or Other Commentary . Reply to ads only to ask questions about the item or offer to buy. If you don't like something someone is selling: don't offer to buy it. If you think the price is too high: offer the seller a lower price.
If for some reason you think the sales price and/or representation of the merchandise is deliberately misleading or is a commercial sale by a non-sponsor, bring it to the attention of the moderators.
Constructive comments, relevant to sales only, are welcome. For instance, "Yes, I have this same cannon and it will shoot golf balls".
Proof of Shipment/Payment, GBO encourages anyone conducting a transaction to ensure proof of payment and shipment. If you sell an item and ship it with out a proof of delivery slip GBO can not assist you in seeking legal action or restitution. The same is said for payment, if you send cash in the mail to pay for an item you have purchased then a) we can not aid you in your recovery b) have got to be out of your mind in the first place. It costs very little for these confirmations and are worth every cent of it, they are your only proof, without them it is one member's word against another’s and in such cases GBO reserves the right to not get involved at all. To ensure help from GBO please follow this simple rule as it is for your protection.
