The Trading Dock Guidelines

Sell Your Personal Boat or Marine Item Using The Trading Dock - FREE!

Growing by leaps and bounds each month, ReelBoating is a very effective online method to use when selling your boat or boating & fishing gear.

Individual Classifieds:
Currently it is FREE to list your personal boating and fishing items for sale on the Trading Dock.

How To Post:
- Go to the Trading Dock Forum where you would like to post and click the "New Topic" button. You are now ready to create your ad.
- Type in your ad subject and a detailed description of the item you wish to sell. Be sure to include your contact information.
The internal ReelBoating Private Messaging feature is a great way to communicate with potential buyers.
- Before you submit your ad you may wish to attach a photo of your item you have stored on your computer. To do this simply find a file on your computer using the BROWSE button, then click UPLOAD. The maximum file size you can upload is listed in the upload window.
If you do not wish to include an image simply click Submit after typing your ad. You may also use HTML to link to your image if you are hosting it off-site.
- Review your ad and correct any errors if necessary. You may also make unlimited revisions and corrections to the body of your ad by using the "Edit" button located at the bottom right of your post.

Here are the Basic Rules for posting your ad in the Trading Dock:
Personal items only in the Individual Classifieds.

BROKERS - For the time being I will allow a limited amount of broker listings.
Just please be respectful of the others using the classifieds and do not treat the forum as your online marketplace.

- Multiple listings of similar items (rods, reels, parts etc) will be considered a business listing and not allowed in individual classifieds.
- Please limit your ads to one per week.
- Trading Dock Ads will run approximately 3 months before they are deleted or frozen. If you do not sell your item within 4 months you will need to place another 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.

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.

Thank you for using ReelBoating.com
