The Aliens Legacy Forum Discussion Board SALES
Section (Base PX) Rules of Usage & Conduct: The Aliens Legacy reserves the right to lock, delete or alter
any post at our discretion. We will never alter a post maliciously
(IE: Change a Price) but we will correct formatting and spelling if
needed. The Sales Section is a
service the Aliens Legacy
allows our small fan based the local community but it does have
guidelines.
ANY deviation from the set guidelines may result in
the locking and or deletion of the offending post. This service is allowed to help you: the fans. If you abuse it, then
nobody will be allowed to sell
anything on the AL any
more. In any section.
0.2 Why am I unable to post here? New users must make a certain number of genuine posts in
other sections of The Aliens Legacy
before they are able to post replies to The Base PX.
Single line spam posts (Example: "Me too," "Yeah." etc.)
just to inflate your post count will
not be tolerated, won't help you and will likely be deleted.Only established users who have been a member of the community for a length of time are
permitted to make new topics in The Base PX. If you are only here to sell stuff and not
contribute to the group through the sharing of information or general chat in the community,
you might be better served to choose eBay.
0.3 What is the minimum post requirements to access the PX? We're not going to
tell you the actual amount...
but it's REALLY LOW. Seriously, I'm sure there's a couple threads
on the forums you have an opinion about. Check out your fellow board members build threads... leave
a nice comment on their work... discuss how badly Alien 3 was... you'll have full access to the PX in no
time.
I think the record for a new contributing member was like 2 days.
0.4 Why were my PX privileges removed? This could be for any number of things. Some possible reasons include...
- Posting "illegal" items for sale (Child Porn, Drugs, Live Fire Weapons, etc). If there's
any question you have about your item, please ask a member of the Mod/Admin
team.
- Not addressing "issues" with your sale such as wrong item shipped/received,
item received in a broken condition (but not mentioned in the sale listing), etc.
ALWAYS list any flaws in your item if possible. Honesty, oddly enough, will
get you sales.
- Not completing transactions. Such as taking payment and not shipping items.
This action in particular may get ALL of your Aliens Legacy posting privileges
removed and may result in you getting yourself banned from the entire site.
We have to ensure that the PX is a fair and trusted place for our members to
sell, buy and trade. If you deal fairly with each other, you'll be treated fairly
in return.
0.5 What the heck is a 'PX'? PX is an older
US military base designation that stands for 'Post Exchange.'
enlisted personnel could buy standard convenience store supplies
on base rather than going out in public. And since the military is all
fired up about using obscure designations to confuse people, in
other countries the 'PX' has also been known as 'CanEx'
or 'CanAm' or 'NAAFI.'
1. Please try to keep posts related to Movie Props
and/or costuming (or Alien(s) related items. Deviations
will be dealt with on a case by case basis. All sales that do not
meet this requirement will be locked and deleted within 24 hours.
If you're not sure if your item should be sold in the Sales section,
PM a Discussion Board Moderator and ask.
2. Post Titles MUST include the appropriate heading. □ FS - For Sale
□ WTS - Want to Sell (Basically the same thing)
□ WTB - Want to Buy
□ WTT - Want to Trade
□ NTS - NEED to Sell
□ EBAY - Link to EBay Auction of an item
you own.
□ INTEREST - Used to gauge interest in a run of items not yet created.
IE: 'FS: USED CYMA Thompson', 'WTT: Spat Armor for Motion
Tracker', 'WTB: USCM Helmet Cover', 'NTS: Airsoft VP70'
WTB Sales are allowed but MUST BE SPECIFIC.
Allowed: 'WTB: Spat Armor', 'WTB: Halcyon Facehugger', 'WTB:
CYMA M1A1 Thompson AEG'
Not Allowed: 'WTB: Cheap Pulse Rifle'
NOTE: WTB posters CANNOT DICTATE PRICE. Sellers set the price.
If you post a WTB, you get what ever Sellers want to post. Your
budget is not their concern.
2a) EBAY LINKS TO SALES ARE ONLY ALLOWED IF
YOU OWN THE ITEM AND IT IS YOUR AUCTION or IT IS AN ITEM
REGULARLY OFFERED IN AN EBAY or ONLINE STORE. 2b) EBAY LINKS TO SALES ARE ALSO ALLOWED IF
THE ITEM IS CLAIMED TO BE A 'SCREEN USED' ITEM, AND
THERE IS DOUBT ABOUT THE ITEM'S AUTHENTICITY. YOU CAN ALSO
CONTACT OUR MODERATOR Harry Harris FOR A SECOND
OPINION ON THE ITEM RATHER THAN POSTING IT TO THE BOARD. 2c) Why should I contact Harry Harris about this?Because Harry is an authority on the screen used props/costumes
and either owns or has talked with the creators of a majority of
the items. You can research some of the screen used items
yourself over at:
http://www.harryharris.com3. Sellers set their own price. If you are
not involved or interested in a specific Sale, keep out of it. If you
don't like their price, too bad. That is what they set it at. No one
cares what price you've seen elsewhere, what you've paid before,
or what you think the price should be. If you're not a part of the
Sale, keep your mouth shut.
Feel free to PM and make a counter
offer if you don't like it.
3a) Resales: If you sold your item to a
person for $10 and they resell it for $100, or give it to somone you
don't like... too bad. Once it's in their hands, it's their property and
they can do what they want with it; be it eat it, burn it or put on a
fruit basket hat and sing 'Chiquita Bannana.' It is their choice. You
don't have to like it and it is not under your control.
4. No flaming or defamation of a Sales Post or a
Seller without PERSONAL experience with the item or seller.
IE: Seller ABC received my money but never sent the item
and its been 6 months? or Seller XYZ sold me a gun that was
broken and missing pieces, but he sold it as new?. You are NOT
allowed to chime in if your friend got ripped off or if you heard from
a friend of a friend that a seller was bad. Again, if you are not
involved directly in the Sale, keep out of it.
4. 4a. No posting of useless chitchat in somone's sales thread. Example: Person "A" is selling Grenades. Person "B" chimes in
with, 'Has anyone ever thought that these look like lip balm
containers? What's your favorite flavor of lip balm?'
Off-topic posts may be deleted at such time as a given member of
the moderation team feels they have been taken too far.
If you yourself think that this stage has been reached, please PM
one of the
Admin or
Moderation team and we will take a closer look!
Reply posts relating to formatting, grammar, content or rules
violations will likely remain in the sales listing to assist the
thread poster and any others in following the forum guidelines.
5. All Sales MUST HAVE A PRICE. Sellers
are not allowed to fish for prices or bids. Most honest sellers know
what they want for their item/s, so they should post that price. If a
Seller honestly has no idea what price they should sell their item
for, it is their responsibility to do the research to find a price they
are comfortable with. NO EXCEPTIONS.
6. No board Auctions. If you want to sell
an item, sell it. If you want to do an Auction, post it on EBay or
somewhere else.
7. Offending Topics & Posts will be deleted, modified,
and or corrected based purely on the discretion and whim of the
moderator. This is an open ended rule as moderators
have a choice but if you want to make sure your post stays up,
follow the rules from the start.
8. All Sales Topics are deleted automatically after 30
days of inactivity. This is a setting of the Dboard.
9. Sales topic rehashing or 'bumping' is
not allowed. If you want your items to sell; lower your
price, offer a different deal, separate items if in a package, or sell it
elsewhere. The fact that you're item is not getting any interest,
regardless of how many times you bring attention to it, should be
an indication to change your method. To be blunt: Change your sale or let it die.
Lower prices = sales.
It's as simple as that.
Also, relax and do NOT worry that you don't get any replies 5
minues aftter you post your item. Our members are located all
over the planet, not just in the USA... it may take a while for
someone to read and reply to your posting.
9a. Sellers are allowed to update their threads
with new pics - So long as the new material is markedly different
from what was originally in the thread in the first place.
Example: Pictures of a raw kit updated with pictures of a finished
kit. Close up shots to show small detailing, etc. Posting a picture
that is rotated 2 degrees from the previous picture is a
Bump and will be deleted.
9b. NO POINTING TO SALES THREADS FROM OTHER
THREADS ON THE FORUM!Let's just clarify this again for anyone who couldn't figure it out...
NO POINTING TO SALES THREADS FROM OTHER THREADS ON THE FORUM!
Any threads that look like this:
Quote:
Hey, welcome aboard the AL. Be sure to check out my threads in the sales section!
or
Quote:
WOW! nice work there dude! but you know what? my
*insert product here* would really help you finish that costume off,
be sure to check out my threads in the for sale section!
You get the idea. And if you don't, your 'Pointing' thread will be
edited or deleted anyway. See
subsection 14 for more
information.
10. Individuals who reproduce copyrighted items are
themselves responsible if The Copyright Holder comes knocking.
If The Copyright Holder complains, we will of course
remove any threads they object to, just like on eBay.
11) Recasting: Selling of recast items is
NOT allowed. Period. Postings of such items will be deleted.
12) Runs of items: Because we're a small
community we will be allowing runs of items. HOWEVER, as with all
other sales, doing a run of an item seen in the films is
at your
own risk. If you receive a Cease and Desist Order from a movie
studio because of it, you're on your own.
12a) When an Interest or showoff thread starts taking names for a run, it will be moved to the PX. 13) Found Items: Found items as seen in
the film (Racal headsets, Alarm Boxes, lamp parts, etc.) that were
used to make movie props are fair game for runs or group buys...
because they're
found items. Anyone could locate them.
The Aliens Legacy Forum does not condone the sale of Airsoft
guns to minors without parental acknowledgment. It is the
responsibility of the Seller to insure all legal aspects of sales are
adhered to. Just be responsible when you sell Airsoft guns.
* Sellers and Buyers with a history of negative dealings will be
refused access to the Aliens Legacy Sales Section and depending
on the severity of offense/s banned from the Aliens Legacy
Discussion Board. Treat people fairly and you won't have a problem.
14) Sellers and Buyers are responsible for knowing
the rules. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse. Threads will be
locked or deleted depending on the severity of the infraction.
Know the rules, follow them, or don't cry when we lock
and/or delete your posts.Russ Krook III
