welcome chris , great to see you here and lovely cables
these are the guidelines on aos
Photos of the actual item for sale have to be included at the time of posting a sale advert for equipment, not added later. Stock/library images won't do. This also applies to 'interest checks' and items offered free, which will be treated the same way as sale offers.
New, unopened, boxed or packaged items. Solely for these, a photo of the exterior of the unopened box or packaging only need be shown.
Links alone, to library images offsite do not qualify, although they can be used in addition to the mandatory photos.
Images must display at a minimum size of 640 x 480 (message board size) including those from expanded thumbnails. Larger images are of course welcome.
The pictures should be properly framed, sufficiently close up, clear and well lit and the correct way up.
Pictures of the front of the equipment should be shown and inputs/outputs or other important facilities should also be displayed if present. The more images the better.
Thumbnail images will not be acceptable with items having an asking price greater than £250.00. Decent sized photos 640 x 480 or greater will then need to be displayed at full size. An independant image hosting service will facilitate this.
The use of Private Exhibitions to offer equipment is a privilege and it is free, so it is reasonable to expect members to make suitable efforts to comply. Potential buyers and members in general like seeing good images and these can only help in a sale.
Adverts that do not meet forum requirements will be subject to deletion without notice. Basically, if you can't be bothered to make a bit of an effort, we won't bother to chase after you, so inadequate listings will simply disappear! We make no apologies for that.
We thank you in advance for your co-operation, and will continue striving to make AoS one of the best places to buy or sell quality used equipment on the 'net
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
