Okay, I was having a blonde moment. I figured you already removed it after I posted my comment........ =)

This is a permanent "sticky" I found in the "Performance Years" Pontiac site. It seems obvious what the problem's were and this policy apparently corrected the problem's.
I especially like the "bump" policy because when you constantly bump your item to the top, your bumping somebody else off the page. Bumping is done both by "ttt" mesages and idol ****-chat that's off topic.
I also like that the price must be mentioned or it's deleted. Some look like their fishing for a sucker buyer. If you want to solicit bids, place it on ebay.
Anybody else like this polict?

Here's how it reads:

Information your PARTS FOR SALE ad MUST contain:

Location.

Please include the City and State along with the Zipcode.

Price.

You must put a price on your item(s). FOR SALE ads posted without a price will be deleted.

Parts cars: If you are making a list of or naming any of the parts that you are selling off the car then you must price them. If you're just putting the car itself up for parting with no individual parts listing, potential buyers should PM or email the seller to check pricing or find what they need off of your parts car.

eBay auctions:

Please post a link to your auction so others won't have to ask for the link. If you don't know how to post a link, ask how in the 'Test & Tune' forum.

The '3 day bump' rule.
You cannot , btt, or otherwise bring your ad back to the top more often than every three days.

Adding pics, changing the price or adding info? Edit one of your previous posts if you have not yet waited 3 days. You can answer questions that are posted in the thread. Just keep in mind that we want the Classifieds to work well for you as well as your fellow PY sellers, so be fair to to others and don't bump your For Sale or Wanted ad excessively.

Pics.

Not a requirement, but you know potential buyers will want to see one or more detailed photos of what you're selling. Put a picture in your ad, if you don't know how to do this ask in the 'Test & Tune' forum.

Please, constructive replies only.

Replies should be limited to questions and answers regarding the sale.

Think a price is too high? Send the poster a Private Message. If the price is high the seller will certainly get the idea when nobody replies. If you have something to say that might hurt the seller by posting it then don't post it, keep in mind that anything that can be construed as abuse of the sellers here will be dealt with.

Do not hijack the ad of another seller by posting your own item for sale in that seller's thread. If you have a similar item to sell, then start a thread of your own to sell your item.

These types of replies will be deleted, and you WILL receive a warning that could lead to being BANNED from PY.

It is suggested that you use the Private Message feature to conduct your business in private. Contact the seller using the PM feature if you want to buy something, this keeps your private business dealings off the forums.

After you've sold your item:

Please edit your first, original post and put 'SOLD' in the first line of your ad. This keeps others from wasting their time looking at a 'dead' ad. I will delete all old finalized ads with 'sold' or 'found' posted anywhere in them.

We want to make the Classifieds here at Performance Years work smoothly for both buyers and sellers, please kindly follow the rules posted above. It's all about common sense and common courtesy, the staff here at PY thanks you for your cooperation.

My opinion is that it is nice to be able to buy/sell quality used/new parts from known racers that wont risk their reputation selling substandard parts. Thanks ClassRacer.com

Hi this is Dennis Ridgeway from DRE ENGINE DIAPERS ,we were told we could run ads on the web site.But I ran a ad and a member said I should not run ads,eventhough DRE pays to provide this site,so we have refrained from running ads because we dont want anyone mad.This being said I see certain car "hustlers" on here every day selling trailers ,cars and ect, This site is the best site going that is why we support it so unless you pay for advertising if you are a dealer do us all a favor and stay off.
