This is a market based on sellers'
quality.
We can't possibly emphasize on this enough!
At this
starting point, this is a relatively small community of users and
enthusiasts, and we all (sellers and buyers) need to cooperate
appropriately, to keep everybody happy.
Just as simple as that, everybody happy.
But still,
we need to establish some rules. You are always welcome to suggest
your ideas, to make this place even better.
For the sellers.
- Each phone you post for sale, must come with original photos.
Real ones. Not from Google
search. Not factory pics or Gsmarena.
Try
to upload at least 3 pictures. One with the phone off (front), one
with the phone on (front) and one of the back side. Any additional
pictures, will just help more to sell your phone.
Listings
with "internet", "ready" pics, will not be
approved.
- Working or not working condition.
A working
phone is not just a power-on phone. All other
functions should be there too. For example, reception, microphone,
earphone, speakerphone, cameras (if there), keys and buttons,
charging etc., should be working properly. If a phone fails
somewhere, it should be listed under the not-working / faulty category.
- Shipments
This marketplace gives you the
opportunity to sell all over the world. But this doesn't mean it's
always easy to do so.
There could
be restrictions and obstacles needed to
overcome, before doing that. For example, real shipping costs,
suitable packing and shipping method, and most of all, customs.
So, before you accept
payment for something you sell, make sure that yourself and the buyer
have cleared all the details.
We understand that this is the
buyer's responsibility and not the seller's. But if you feel that a
sale might not be completed successfully,
then please consider not accepting it. If it doesn't go well, it will
only bring negative reviews and disputes.
- No zero prices. No 1 euro
prices.
Listing with false, "bait"
pricing, that only intents to attract buyers into negotiation, will
not be approved. If we get complaints that the seller tries to
negotiate a higher price than the one that was listed with the item,
that listing will be removed, and eventually the seller will be
banned.
This market aims to be transparent, and such listings will
distort it and make it difficult to use for everyone.
Please consider your pricing carefully
and set the price you think best, both for you and the buyer.
- Be nice
Selling on this marketplace, will make
most of you realize that it's not just the
collectors that you will be selling to. As a matter of fact, the
collectors will be fewer than the actual everyday users of
classic, vintage, retro, keypad, old school phones that you
sell.
Please be kind and answer to their questions. A new
collector of cell phones, an experienced collector, someone needing
his beloved old phone model to use all day.
Be kind to them and reply with attention.
