Exclamation Please read me! (IDEA!)

Ok, there are alot of posts out there that are hard to read because people don't use punctuation. So I want to incorporate a standard way of posting a sale/trade.

This is just something I want to try. If it works, we make it standard, if it sucks well...

All posts should follow this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item (1):
Sony Super Computer

Price:
$9,000,000,000,000.00

Description:
This a non-existant computer that is not really for sale. If you attempt to bid on this, I will ban you.

Shipping Options:
$25,000

Item (2):
Comcrap DataCenter

Price:
$12.00

Description:
Dude... it's a Comcrap, what more do you need?

Shipping Options:
$25,000

Contact:
Some real email address. Read the rules before posting.

Refrences:
This would be heatware, ebay, beerology....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You get the idea.

Make sure you post what type of currency you accept.

IMO, Great Idea!

Could the thread be closed when the deals are done? This would keep us from posting on something that is now over.

It might be more trouble than it's worth, but closing one after a couple of months may be good too.

I would say yes. Close 'em when they're done. Good idea.

Why aren't "free" email address allowed? I have a Hotmail email address. My parents have the ISP's, and they don't want my stuff clogging up their email. Why?

Because "free emails" are harder to track in a case that the seller/buyer doesn't hold up their end of the deal. We want to be able to find out as much information and help our members get their money/merchandise.
