    You must sign up for EE then post it. If it's priced right it will sell.

    Follow the sticky? or instructions on signing up for the EE. Post a few posts...this is helpful as the mods want to see that you are not some Trolling Anti before giving you larger access to the site. They say it takes up to 5 days, i was approved in 1. However, dont expect that the access is going to make you money in the sale of firearm. Far too much stuff that you will need to come even close to breaking even.

    One other point a long time member suggested. Since you will start with a zero trader rating, many people will not deal with you on a large item like a firearm. Try buying some small items you need anyways to build up a positive rating, include your location in your profile and suggest a FTF sale. Face to face helps avoid the chance of scams or poor ratings.

    Cheers

    Lol, bitterness on post two. Welcome to Cgn. All the answers you seek are here already, don't get fussy when we all don't leap to spoon feed, we've done it for years.

    Be nice, and people will help, but look first.

    It's all good. Did you get it figured out? On the Equipment Exchange yet?

    How to Gain Access to the Equipment Exchange Forums (Rules & Guidelines)



    The Equipment Exchange (“EE”) forums are "use at your own risk" classifieds". CGN is not responsible for any losses and disputes related to transactions that are associated with these classifieds.


    The EE forums are intended for the listing of personal items that are non profit seeking - profit seeking activities are only allowed for paid business members [ie. Dealers]; Linking in any forms to other firearms sites, such as on-line classified and on-line auction sites, is not allowed. Items that are posted in an any other websites will not be allowed to be posted in the equipment exchange forums of CGN.


    Trade related disputes originating from the Equipment Exchange forums or with CGN business members [ie. Dealers] shall not be discussed in the forums. All disputes and feedbacks should be confined to the trader rating feedback system and private messaging. See FAQ “Guidelines for using CGN feedback system”


    BASIC POSTING RULES
    1. Each entry to the EE must have an appropriate prefix: WTS [want to sell], WTT [want to trade] or WTB [want to buy] prefix;

    2. Each member is allowed 2 threads of WTS, 2 threads of WTB and 2 threads of WTT in each of the Equipment Exchange forums. When a thread is no longer valid, it is member’s own responsibility to edit the prefix to “Pls Remove”[click “edit” and then “go advanced”, from there the member can edit the ad prefix, title and text]. To remove an old thread from the limit count, you must change the pre-fix to “Pls Remove”;

    3.An item can only be posted ONCE in the entire Equipment Exchange. It must be posted in the most applicable EE forum or sub-forum for which the item in your current possession belongs. [ie. If you wish to buy [WTB] a handgun, wish to sell [WTS] a handgun, or wish to trade [WTT] a handgun for a shotgun, it must be posted in the Exchange of Pistols & Revolvers];

    4.If an item is offered for sale or trade, it should be posted as a WTS. A WTT entry cannot contain offer to sell;

    • All items listed for sale [WTS] must include a basic asking price. This is not an auction/bidding site. No links to off-site auctions are permitted. "Make an offer" type ads with no listed base price are not acceptable, and may be deleted without notice;

    • Want to trade [WTT] ads must not offer cash sale. The entry must list the specific item(s) being sought for trade. Entry will be removed without notification if it is not in compliance to the guideline;

    5.Only the originator of a thread can reply to his/her own thread. Members should contact each other using private messaging Members may edit prefix,title & text as required by using the “edit” and “go advanced” [advanced edit] features available to them. Moderators may edit entry as seen fit;

    6.All items posted must belong to the posting member. There will be no “posting, listing, selling or trading for a friend”. Members selling or trading on the EE are fully responsible for the entries made under their accounts, including but not limited to advertised condition, transfer & shipping arrangements, as the case may be. All items offered for sale or trade must be in the possession of the member posting the ad or the ad must clearly state the circumstances otherwise.

    7. All items listed for sale [WTS] or trade [WTT] must include an accurate description of the item at the time it is listed for sale or trade. Members may consider the NRA grading system for “condition” when describing items for sale or trade in the EE.

    8. Descriptions of all items must be factual. All pictures posted must be the original pictures of the items owned by the sellers. Sales pitches based on assumption, rumours , unsubstantiated claims or anything that are deemed to be unethical by CGN will be removed. CGN reserves the right to infract or/and remove accounts who violate this clause.

    9. If you are including pictures in your ad the maximum image/picture size allowable is 1024x768 pixels. Entries with pictures in excess of the allowable picture size will be removed moderators without notification;


    EDITING, BUMPING AND REMOVING POSTINGS

    1. Members may "bump" or bring their thread "back-to-the-top" [aka BTT] of the EE forum page where seven (7) days have elapsed since the last posting made to the thread, by simply making a posting to the existing thread. The EE has a built in default that will not allow an existing thread to be BTT’d within 7 days of the last posting made to the thread.

    2.Whereas a member can edit his/her own EE ad to change the ad prefix, title or text a member cannot “move” an existing EE posting from one EE forum to another. This can only be done by a moderator. If you want an EE ad “moved” send a PM [personal message] to an EE moderator. Then wait for your ad to be moved. It will be the moderator’s discretion as to whether an ad move is appropriate. Do not edit your ad to “delete” [ie. Pls Remove] then repost a “new” ad in another EE forum to “move” it.

    3. If your item has been sold/found or a deal is pending, you may edit your thread title to “SPF” [sold pending funds] or “deal pending” etc if you do not wish to remove the thread yet.
    4. To remove a thread that is no longer needed, change prefix to [Pls Remove] by clicking [Advanced Edit]. A thread is counted towards the maximum allowed limit ( 2 WTS, 2WTB and 2 WTT] until its prefix is changed to [Pls Remove]


    DISALLOWED ITEMS IN EQUIPMENT EXCHANGE

    1. Any imitation or "knock-offs" with infringement of copyrighted wordings or markings in any forms are disallowed. Imitations, commonly known as knock-offs, cannot be advertised with reference to the wordings, trade names or model names of the real items they are imitating. Pictures of real items are not allowed to be displayed in the sale advertisements of any imitations or "knock-offs
    2.Illegal or questionable items are disallowed. Questionable items include, but are not limited to: • Homemade firearms;
    • Magazine Kits;
    •80%" or partially completed receivers or receiver stampings;

    3. Stolen government properties and items of questionable origin are disallowed. These include any DND equipment items, which have not been released to the general public for sale. It is the responsibility of the posters to prove the legitimacy of the items. Sale of stolen goods will result in a permanent ban from CGN without warning. CGN has discretion of not allowing items that it deems to be risky at moderators’ or Administrator’s discretion;

    4. Fully assembled, non-commercially produced ammunition (including “home reloads”) is disallowed.

    5. Tobacco and alcohol are disallowed;

    6.Airsoft guns are only allowed when their receivers are made of either transparent or brightly coloured plastics. The receivers must not be painted to cover the transparency or bright colour;

    7. Making reference to, such as by listing the URL, of a solicitation that is located outside of the www.canadiangunnutz.com forums. For example, linking or posting the URL of an advertisement in Ebay or Kijiji;

    8. Estate sales are disallowed without written declaration, unless it is performed for wife, husband, sons, daughter, grandfather, grandmother, grandsons and granddaughter. For all others, CGN must receive written declaration from the executor or whoever that is authorized to dispose of the estate, that the seller is authorized to dispose of the estates on the behalf of those who are in charge of the estate. The declaration must also clearly indicate that the seller is not to be profiting or charging "management fee". Paid business members are exempted from this requirement. Any estate disposition with profit will be classified as business activity that falls under "Policy for Advertising at www.Canadiangunnutz.com"


    ENFORCEMENT

    1. Any attempt to induce an early [sub 7 day] BTT of your item by posting it in a new ad in that or any other EE forum and remove the earlier ad [by editing the ad prefix, title or text in attempt to obscure it] either before or after posting the new ad, you may be cited, at the discretion of a moderator, with a “cheating BTT” infraction. This comes with 5 infraction points and a minimum of 60 days suspension from the EE.

    2.Reposting the same item(s) included in a deleted thread within 7 days of the last posting date of the deleted thread will be considered cheating the rules intentionally. Loss of EE access could result.

    3. Equipment Exchange moderators have the discretion to issue warnings or infraction points for EE rule violations as the case may be. Please be advised that it is the member’s responsibility to ensure that all postings placed are within the EE posting rules. Continued violations of the EE posting rules may lead to temporary or permanent suspension of EE posting privileges at the discretion of CGN Admin.

    4. Each EE rule violation is worth 1 point and has a life span of 45 days. When 5 points are accumulated, an automatic suspension from the EE forums will be imposed by the system. For example, a user is given the first infraction that expires in 45 days. 5 days later this user is given another infraction. Since the user already had an infraction, this new infraction's expiration time is added to the end time of the previous infraction for a total of 95 days. The suspension will not expire until there are no longer 5 non-expired infraction points.

    5.When a member has a number of infractions, both current and expired, more than or equal to 10, moderator has the discretion to issue a 5 point infraction that results in suspension from EE for 30 days. When the number of infraction, both current and expired, reaches 15, moderator has the discretion to issue a 5 point infraction that results in suspension from EE for 60 days.

    Guidelines for using CGN Feedback Score System (formerly trader rating)



    User feedback is a user self-service. Compliance with the followings constitute a social contract with other traders in the community. Canadiangunnutz administrators and moderators will not be responsible for moderating, adjudicating and editing comments in the trader rating system. Users bear full responsibilities of all ratings and comments made in the Feedback Score System. Users further agree to give up all rights to sue for any form defamation and claim damages over comments and scores in the Feedback Scoring system. If you do not agree with the above, please cease the use of the Feedback Score System and notify the administrator of the forum to remove your access to the Equipment Exchange forums. Trade related disputes originated from Equipment Exchange forums shall not be discussed in the forums. All disputes and feedbacks should be confined to trader rating feedback system and private messaging.

    1.Neutral feedback can be left by both the buyer or the Seller where there is a recognized transaction, when one party backs out of a verbal agreement and the timing of delivery of funds has been specified at the time of the acceptance of the offer;
    2.Only the Buyer can initiate Negative Feedback. A Seller can only respond with a neutral feedback after a negative feeback is left by the buyer. The Seller cannot initiate a negative feedback;
    3.Negative feedback can only be left by the buyer in the following circumstances:
    •There must be an agreed date of delivery before funds are accepted, and the delivery date is not met; It is the responsibility of the buyer to obtain a date of delivery before sending funds;
    •Items delivered do not agree to the conditions posted;
    4.All feedback must be left within 30 calendar days after the mutually agreed to date of delivery;
    5.Fraud can be reported to the Fraud Reporting Forum, in accordance with the guidelines of fraud reporting;
    6.All negative feedback must be accompanied by comments which detail the transactions and reasons for the feedback;



    Mandatory for all CGN traders to use trade rating system:
    •List accepted payment method clearly in your sale post to avoid confusion,
    •Must clearly identify the latest delivery date of money and goods upon acceptance of an offer;
    •Identify shipping method upon acceptance of an offer;

    Suggestions to CGN traders:
    •Ship item via method with tracking service with proper insurance
    •Obtain name, address and phone number of the counterparty
    •Keep PM, email exchanges until the deal is done; that is payment made and item arrived.



    How to leave a feedback:


    Please click and read the following: Trader Rating FAQ


    Trader Rating is a self-service system. Administration will not adjudicate, investigae and correct any mistakes or feedback that is left either intentionally or unintentionally. Think and confirm before posting a trader rating or feedback. A member has 60 days to edit a trader rating left by him/her.
