BUY, SELL, AND TRADE FORMAT GUIDELINES
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING ITEMS FOR SALE/TRADE!
In order to sell or trade items on SimplyDiscus, it is very important that you supply as much information as possible. Please format both the title and contents of your thread as shown below. Failure to do so could result in locked/deleted/edited threads. Also, remember that any posts that are not directly related to the ad, including comments about the quality or price of an item (good or bad), will be removed as the moderators see them. This is not a discussion area as explained in our forum rules. Lastly pictures or video is required on all sale items. Failure to do this will result in a deleted thread.
Thread Title Format:
Prefix: Item description - Location - Pickup/Shipping
(The forum will give you a drop-down menu with thread prefixes. You must select a prefix to post a thread. The thread prefixes are For Sale (FS), For Trade (FT), or Free.)
Example: Free: Six 3" Pigeon Blood discus - Buffalo, New York - Pickup Only
Example: FS: Used Fluval FX5 canister filter - Sacramento, CA - P/U or Shipping
Please be as descriptive in your title as possible and also include your location, preferably with a city or zip code in addition to your state/territory/country.

Accepting funds for items you do not have yet, (ex, Fish, fry, etc) is prohibited...NO PRE-SALES or PRE-ORDERS with payment are allowed.
