READ AND COMPLY WITH BEFORE POSTING SALES THREADS OR YOUR THREAD WILL BE DELETED

- You must be an 'elite' member of fuk. The Elite are those that have been good enough to donate £10 or more to the upkeep of fuk. In doing so, they are entitled to list stuff for sale in the classifieds section amongst other perks. The original 'golden jimmys', ie. those who have already donated are now life-time elite members. You can still join their ranks, but from now on elite membership is on an annual recurring basis.  
fuk username:

- All items must have original photo(s) taken by you, unless item was previously sold here, in which case, you may use those original photos.

- Please avoid 'interest checks'.

- Include a price on all items.

- Fake products are strictly prohibited from being listed. It is up to the seller to guarantee the authenticity of anything being sold. A ban will be given for any and all fake items listed.

- It is the seller's responsibility to ensure that the goods are delivered to the buyer.

- All items offered must be in possession of the poster. No items may be offered for sale that have not yet been taken delivery of.

- All registered fuk members, not just GJs, can post their ebay links in the ebay listings thread.

Please make new threads for new sales. If you don't the search doesn't work right and longer threads slow the whole site down.

fuk.co.uk takes no responsibility for transactions entered into as a result of these classifieds.

why exactly have non-golden people been banned from posting here?

i dont know what the golden thing is because I only post occassionally now, so i dont know anything about servers or jimmy hill icons.

i dont think its right that traditional members shouldnt be allowed to post cos they didnt pay a tenner?

seems a bit elitist IMHO.

Logically that raises this question though:

"what happens when a sale from a golden jimmy goes wrong?"

Are you gonna penalise then ban all Golden Jimmys and only allow 'mods' to post sale threads in Classifieds?

TBH, 'traditional' members should be amongst the first to cough up, and it seems a bit elitist cause that is what it is: an 'elite' membership which for the time being is about selling in classifieds, but down the line we want to roll out new features for elite members.

As for sales going wrong, any action would be taken against the offender, not ALL goldens..

its to stop any dodgy pimps trying to rip people off, or people just joining to pimp they shit....anyone who likes fuk enuff to be able to sell their wares has donated a tenner in, thats why they get the priveledge....its simple if you look at it like that.

This is going to make the Classifies very quite, and give less people the chance of picking up a bargain. It doesnt just effect sellers but now also the buyers who will miss out (Not that i sell clothes here)

I think this time next year FUK will have just the elite 100 posters because everyone else has been ran out because the now not-optional £10 fee

i reckon we will all just about survive....if we want the bargains we can just do the rounds of ALL the boards that all the pimps and resllers post on anyway..not one single pimp or reseller has EVER just posted their sales on 'only' here anyway, so dont worry about us matt, we will be schaweet.

But you are doing exactly that to non-golden people.

Because a few dickheads with three posts joined and sold fakes/didnt deliver at all, you are now taking the step to ban all people who arent golden from posting here?

so then surely once a few 'golden' sale transactions that dont satisfy the buyer / go wrong, you would also have do the same to all golden people?

i disagree strongly with this policy of blanket penalising all non golden people just cos some sales went wrong.

to be honest, I only commented in this thread because this was the first time I had ever seen a 'classified rules' here and was shocked out how draconian they were.

But whats the point if Im only wanting to sell something for a tenner? Laughing out loud

But the point i was making, this is just the start to the new rules, that will seperate the elite from the poor Eye-wink

Sneaker addict don't you just post on the classified most of the time? Rarely see you post on other threads. If you had great success if selling stuff on here tenner isn't a lot to ask. Also this forum contributes a lot of useful info and other stuff, making the tenner worth it. I'm sure you downloaded lots of music and film files already.

Don't think of it in terms of "rules" and "penalising". This is a premium service we are offering, that happened to be free before. The money is spent on improving the web site for everyone.

If you feel that strongly about wanting to post stuff to sell in here, a tenner is nothing.

As I said in the original post, these rules are up for debate (and some have already been removed/changed.

But the goldens-only rule is simply an extension of the support we got from so many people donating, it wasn't a reaction to some sales going wrong.

It would be more unfair if those who have supported fuk by donating, then see others who haven't donated, making a fair few bob selling stuff here.

If I dont have anything to add to a thread, I dont say anything.

I joined FUK when it was a bit more 'street style', rather than the Dior Homme, "High Fashion" men's focus it seems to have become. Not that I am complaining at that, but that is one of the reasons I now do not post often, as this is 'not my bag' so to speak.

This system will still be flawed though.

What happens if someone joins this week, pays £10 becomes Golden, next week they are listing "DIOR" or Raf Simmons whatever for £100sss- and still they are fake listings? (or dont complete sell honorably)

So by that logic, only people who donate to Wikipedia should be allowed to view / or post on Wikipedia, yes?
