Hey guys, I want to introduce myself...I have been following and reading the forum for 15 years plus. I'm not a big talker but i love hunting and really enjoy following the forum. Why I'm posting here is to find out the rules for posting in the classifieds. I tried the link in the Guidlines/rules and it did not seem to work for me...I know I dont have a lot of post, and i assume that has some bearing on qualifying...any help will be very appreciated. I retired 6 years ago and really need to clean my safes out a bit and don't want to just post anywhere...thank you and appreciate the help.

100 post minimum for the classifieds but you can get around that by buying a supporting membership. Welcome.

If your post breaks any of the following rules it may be deleted.

1. A minimum of 100 posts and 6 months as a contributing member are required to create and reply to threads in the classifieds (PM a moderator to request access), or you can bypass the 100 post minimum by purchasing a Supporting Membership at https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1791594/thf-supporting-memberships. After purchasing a Supporting Membership, we will upgrade your account. It generally takes a few hours, but may take up to 48. As soon as you see the blue box under your member name, you are approved to post in this section. Violations of the classifieds rules may result in your privileges be terminated or account closed. If you spam your way to 100 posts, you will have to wait 6 months to get classifieds access or buy a membership.

2. There have been very few problems in this section over the years, but if the person you are dealing with does anything to make you uneasy about a transaction, proceed with a "buyer or seller beware" attitude. We are not eBay and offer this area as a free service. As such, we have no way to guarantee transactions.

3. Do not list an item unless you are 100% sure you are ready to sell it. Do not offer on an item unless you are 100% sure you want to buy it.

4. If you feel an item is priced too high, do not comment about it. If it is too high, chances are it won't sell and will be lowered or removed. We enforce this rule to avoid arguments. If you feel an item is priced too high, PM or post the seller an offer. If you have no interest in an item, there is no need to make negative comments.

5. This area is strictly for buying, selling and trading. All unrelated posts will be moved or deleted.

6. Post your location and the location of the item for sale or service being offered.

7. You are allowed to bump your thread 1 time in a 24 hour period. Your initial post is your bump for the day. You may not bump it again in initial 24 hour period. If your thread is active with questions or offerings, your answer is your bump for the day. Comments such as "PM received" and "PM sent" are also considered bumps. Do not bump someone else's thread. No chit chat allowed. If you break any of these rules, it may cause your thread to be deleted.

8. Do not have more than 3 active threads going at once.

9. If you are selling, list the price.

10. Do not link to a listing on another web site. If you want to use this forum to sell an item, list the details here.

11. No auctions. Our format is not set up for auctions and we have had problems with them in the past.

12. Selling knives: non-factory or non-mass produced knifes listed for sale - seller must disclose if the blade is handmade or a manufactured blade in the description. Any "kit knife" must also be disclosed.

13. Members are not allowed to sell for family or friends. You must be the owner of what you are selling or service you are offering.

14. Post all firearms transactions at: https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/forums/38/1/firearms-sales-trades-and-gunsmithing

Thank you guys...I look forward to being a more engaged member!

Just don't spam your way there. I have been amazed at how fast some guys have been able to get 100 posts like machine gun replying to photo posts with one word "nice!" type replies and thinking they were actually going to be let into the classifieds after that.

"If you spam your way to 100 posts, you will have to wait 6 months to get classifieds access or buy a membership."

You will find people will post in OT things for sale

Yea, I do'nt want to be the guy that spams his way to 100 posts. Thanks again for the advice.

Some have skirted it by asking for quotes on items they what to sell.

Wow... That hurts. All this time I thought the noobs just loved my pics

If I could go back when I first joined, the $25 option would’ve been the way to go. Support the forum and make money. I eventually donated $100 after I made a sale from THF. Win-win in my eye.

And then they get removed for breaking the rules.

Red Ranger is about as bad as Texas Dan at posting

I am trying to get my posts up for classifieds. I forgot about this place until a few weeks ago
