OGBH secondhand page

This group allows locals from Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove and the close surrounding areas, to buy and sell second hand items without having to travel a long way. Please follow the guidelines to keep everyone in the community happy:

ITEM YOU ARE SELLING: Detailed information on your post: Price, Size, Item Condition and Pick-up location. NB: If you are advertising on a number of sites, please state this in your listing to ensure buyers know they may not be the first person to show interest.

FIRST person to show interest MUST be given a reply and the opportunity to respond before it’s offered to the next person in line. Interest could simply be someone asking “how old is the item?”.
**If inboxing, comment under the listing first so that other buyers don't think they are the first person to show interest.
**TAGGING A FRIEND that might be interested in the item DOES NOT count as an expression of interest.
**USE COMMON COURTEOUSY: Don't comment on someone's post selling the same item until the original item has sold. Don't buy someone's item and try to sell it for more $ on the same site. PLEASE advise the seller ASAP if you change your mind or can no longer make a pick up time.
**If you see something you like but don't want to pay the asking price, please message the seller and seek agreement on the price before noting your interest in the listing. This allows others to buy at the asking price.

IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE LISTINGS: Rather than bombarding the site with your items, you could include a number of items in the one photo or put up an album.
NB: Don't comment on individual photos from the album, it bumps each photo out of the album individually. Comment on the WHOLE ALBUM.

DON’T BUMP MORE THAN ONCE A DAY: If there's no action, maybe decrease the price or recognise that the item may not sell and remove it from the site.

CLEAN UP OLD SOLD POSTS OR ONES THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE SITE A LONG TIME:
You can manage your posts by searching for your name using the magnifying glass on a COMPUTER (it WILL NOT WORK ON YOUR PHONE). If you never delete old posts and clog up the newsfeed we will remove you from the site.

DON’T ADVERTISE ON THIS SITE IN ANY WAY OR FORM: This includes asking people questions on the site like “can someone please recommend a good builder”. This is what the business site (OGBH Local Business Page) is for. This also includes selling old stock from your current business as a means to promote your business name. Left over stock from a closed business is fine, otherwise PLEASE put the discounted items on the business page. The post and member will be deleted without notice.
NO ANIMALS ARE TO BE SOLD OR GIVEN AWAY ON THIS SITE AT ALL.

NO FOOD OR PRODUCE TO BE SOLD ON THE SITE-Please put these on the business page.

NO ABUSE WILL BE TOLERATED WHAT SO EVER, WHETHER IT'S TO MEMBERS OR TO ADMIN.

What the shorthand notes mean:
WTB- wanted to buy
PM- personal message
PPU- pending pick-up
Bump- bring up my post
NIL-next in line
