Guys,
Below are the simple guidelines which are now in place for those who wish to organise a group buy.
First and foremost, the Group Buy area is for privately organised Group Buys only, not for Traders.
REQUIREMENTS FOR RUNNING A GROUP BUY ON SAU!
Group Buy threads must clearly state the following:
1. Start and end date for the group buy. A maximum run time of 3 months is imposed - No more never ending group buys!
2. Clear details of the product/s on offer
3. The Group Buy price being offered, and the normal RRP
4. The company that is supplying the products for the group buy
5. Where the products can be collected from - or
6. Associated costs for delivery
7. Where possible, please include a photo of the goods being offered
The normal rules for users of the classifieds also apply here, in other words
* There is to be no arguing on price - If you can get it cheaper elsewhere, good for you
* No trash talking in the thread - If you have a concern, pm a moderator
Providing the information above will assist in cutting down on those people posting group buys and making all sorts of claims about "their supplier" which has on many occasions turned out to be the very person organising the group buy, who is in fact posing as a middle man in order to fall under the radar of the forum rules.
These rules are here to ensure a safe and enjoyable trading environment for all users so please respect the rules and enjoy the forums.
