Rules for using this folder

[Justin Runyon]

Due to the large amount of posts in this folder that have no research value, the following policy will take effect in the coming days.

All classified ads in the Buy/Sell/Trade folder will be kept public for a period of 30 days, after which time they will be removed. If your item has not sold, or you are still in need of an item, you will need to re-post after 30 days. This policy does not effect the Vendor Announcement section except in the case of limited runs, sales and specials.

Please do not link to your personal ebay auctions here or other off-site sales listings. We cannot control the content on other sites and in our experience, off-site linking leads to moderating nightmares.

The only time we will allow linking to ebay is if it has some educational value in the Authenticity Folder, etc.

Thanks for your cooperation and may the WTS folder be with you.

These are not new rules, they original sticky with the rules was lost in the recent crash.

Makers names are required for all items listed for sale.

Items by makers who do not meet the AC standard are not allowed to be sold on this forum.

[paulcalloway]

For our newer members, the AC only allows the sale of authentic reproductions. There are other forums for the sale of so-called "mainstream gear" - this is not that forum.

By "authentic reproductions", we refer to items who have been reproduced using painstaking attention to the details of (1) period-correct construction techniques, (2) period-correct materials and made using (3) period-correct patterns.

We also ask that you list the makers name where-ever possible.

If you're not sure if your items will make the cut, ask one of the moderators on the forums before you post. We will pull or edit your posts if we feel the items are inappropriate.

It's not that the moderators want to be mean - we have well-publicized standards here and our userbase expects us to uphold them.

Dear Sir,

I would like to sell some of my Confederate uniforms on your forum, and would like to find out what your rules are regarding this. Although I am not a regular vendor, I do have seven uniforms that are surplus to my needs that may be of interests to AC subscribers. Most of them I have not worn, but have outgrown.

All my work is done to authentic standards, employing hand top-stitching and authentic patterns. I have been trained as a tailor by a master German tailor (my mother-in-law), and have sold numerous uniforms to progressive reenactors over the past fifteen years. They have all expressed satisfaction with my work.

I do not want to violate the spirit of your rules by arbitrarily placing my uniforms on the sale page as used uniforms. Therefore, I respectfully request that you advise me in this matter. I am willing to cooperate with you however I can.

Sincerely,

Fred Adolphus

If this is the Fred Aldophus that is known for research I would buy stuff with confidence.
