1. City and State Required for ALL Advertisements – You have two options: add your City and State in your profile (City and Province for Canada, other countries…we’ll just wing it), or you must put it in the ad itself. You may then delete your location in the ad once the item has sold.

2. Construction of your ad – Please be as descriptive as possible in the TITLE of the ad. Your ad titles need to state FOR SALE/FS, WANTED/WTB, FREE, or TRADE/WTT.

Posting a CAR FOR SALE or Want (entire vehicle or rolling chassis):
- Location of vehicle in ad (your location if it’s a Want ad)
- FS/For Sale in ad title
- ASKING PRICE OF VEHICLE
- When selling a car, please put Model Year, Trim Level, body style, interior and exterior colors, transmission type, etc. in the main body of your ad. The more details, the better.
- GOOD pictures are STRONGLY recommended. Keep them sized no wider than 800 pixels wide.

Posting a CAR WANTED ad – See items 1 and 2. Give a good description of what you're looking for. Be specific and post whether you're looking to buy or trade, along with a price range of what you'd expect to spend.

3. Be Civil! - If you want to haggle with someone on price, do it politely. If you want to tell them how completely off-base you believe their prices are, send them a private message (PM). Any public display of contesting someone's price / base is considered a negative behavior and penalty may apply.

4. Make your ad readable, for crying out loud! - Use the SHIFT and ENTER keys--not all capital letters, either. Comma and period keys won't cost you anything. Don't make a huge block of run-on text about your car and expect people to read it.

- If you want top dollar for your car, run a spell check, proofread, and make paragraphs. Be detailed. Presentation IS everything!!!

- If your ad is a sloppy mess and your pictures are either nonexistent or of low-quality, people may well think that this lack of attention to detail has influenced the condition of the car or item. A little effort can go a long way in making an ad.

5. Keep it on the up-and-up. – If your ad looks shady, then it stands to reason that staff will remove it. There won’t be advanced warning. It will just be gone. If you followed the guidelines above, this will likely not happen to you. It’s in your best interest to format your ad carefully and correctly. If it's formatted like like spam from Nigeria then we'll just nuke it and move on with our lives.

6. Stangnet Classifieds will not be host to your ongoing business venture. - The classifieds are for the one time sale of your private property or your Ad indicating your own personal need to obtain a part or parts. We have no need or desire to see your E-bay ad(s) or a link to your storefront or website. If you'd like to sell you item on E-bay then GREAT! If instead you'd like to post your item(s) here, or even at the same time, that's fine too. The classifieds are not however, the venue attract attention your ads or auctions, listed by other means.

7. You are NOT required to post your personal information (email, phone number(s), instant message IDs, etc) in the thread for everyone and all to see. Those exchanges can be made in Private Message / Conversation and you are encouraged to use it.

If you have questions on why an ad was locked or removed, look over the rules. If the rules don't cover something you have questions on, message a member of the StangNet Staff. If your ad was locked, it is not a vast conspiracy against you. Remember, after all...it is just the Internet.
