I am a supporting member of the Corvette Forum,obviously not enough.I accumulate stock parts from customers cars and sell them to people who need them along with my personal parts pile I have from building race cars and other adventures.Most of the time I only respond to people who say I need this part,sometimes I will post a small Lot of parts to sell.This is the P.M.
I got today.This tells me they only care about the money generated by advertisement and not the corvette communities wants and needs.
Greetings,
I noticed you have have had many threads where you are selling parts off of corvettes.
If these parts are not off your car, rather off your customers cars, you are in violation of the forum rules.
"Supporting vendors pay for the considerable bandwidth charges on the Forum, making it free for the rest of us. In exchange, they get the privilege of using the Forum to market and promote their goods and services. Historically, we allow them to post in the generation sections and the regional sections to market and promote their products/services.
Forum members are welcome to sell a Corvette or Corvette parts they purchased for their own personal use. Anything else is considered to be a commercial sale.
No links or reference to eBay sales or any other auction or sales sites, please. If the sale is appropriate for the Forum, post it on the Forum, rather than linking to it elsewhere.
Members are not prohibited from mentioning it when they have a good (or bad, for that matter) experience with a non-supporting vendor. But such mentions cannot be so specific (address, phone number, e-mail address, URL, price, part number, etc.) and so frequent that they become marketing and promotional references.
Only supporting vendors can post Group Purchase threads.
Members can include a mention of their personal businesses in their signatures so long as the enterprise does not compete with an existing supporting vendor, is not Corvette-related and is not so detailed or so frequently appended to their posts that it becomes inappropriate marketing and promotion."
If your posting only items that belong to you, let me know and I will re-open your thread.
