Here are the Basic Rules for posting your ad the the Trading Dock:
Personal items only - no brokers or companies please. Personal items only - no brokers or companies please. Multiple listings of similar items (rods, reels, parts etc) will be considered a business listing and not allowed on the Trading Dock Forum. Brokers will soon have the opportunity to list their boats using our upcoming THT Magazine!
Please limit your ad's to one per month.
Trading Dock Ad's will run approximately 4 months before they are deleted or frozen. If you do not sell your item within 6 months you will need to place another free ad.
"Bumping". The technique of replying to a thread simply to bring it back to the top will not be tolerated. The process known as "bumping" or BTT or TTT posts (especially when replying to your own thread) if done on a consistant basis may result in your thread being frozen completely. It is an unfair practice to others that post in the classified for you to bring your ad continually to the top - or have someone else do it for you.
As an added benefit to our supporting Captains Club members we offer the option of attaching images to posts made in this forum. Here's how:
1) Locate a boating or fishing image on your computer. The image file size must be under 400,000 bytes.
2) Post a new message and make a comment about the image in the post field.
3) Before submitting your post check the "Attach a file after posting" box below your post then click "Submit"
4) The next page will ask you to "Attach a file". Use the "Browse" button to find your image file to attach. .gif and .jpg only. Click "Submit" and allow a few seconds for your image to load.
5) If this procedure is followed you should receive a "Upload successful. " page. Now click "Actions
Return to the thread"
Making Replies to a For Sale Post
Please limit replies to For Sale posts to questions about the item being sold.
The person posting their ad is doing so to sell their item and not necessarily to get into discussions regarding their asking price or to open discussions for comparisons of their item to other items.
Sellers are not obligated to answer or reply to questions about their product publicly.
Off topic replies and those of the nature above will be deleted and the poster warned.
With over 300,000 unique forum visitors each month The Hull Truth Trading Dock is a very effective method to use when selling your boat or boating & fishing gear.
