Guidelines for B/S/T
Buy/Sell/Trade Forum Guidelines
Eligibility - Members must have a minimum of 30 days and 50 posts (quality - on topic - non spamming posts) to use this forum for sales and trades, however, every member is welcome to purchase.
*Note - When a member reaches the minimum criteria to post in the BST section they will be granted the privilege automatically but not necessarily instantly. The software counters are automatically updated daily which means you may have to wait for this to happen and we ask for your patience in this regard.
This forum is for personal sales use only.
The B/S/T forum is not to be used by knifemakers, hobbyists, or vendors to sell or list items/services that are business related. They shall not offer to rework, refurb, upgrade, and/or offer warranty work to/of any items being sold in the B/S/T forum nor should they comment on or talk up products that they make and/or sell.
Eligible items (to be listed) - Everything that is not a knife.
Piggyback Posting - Not allowed. Do not post items for sale in other member's sale threads.
Piggyback posting is forbidden. If done by members with insufficient eligibility to post in the B/S/T forum, will result in revocation of B/S/T forum privileges.
Pricing - Values must be listed for all knives/items being sold.
All sale prices must be listed in US$
For Trades:
Approximate values should be listed for items offered for trade. This is for both the buyer and the seller 's benefit to establish a reference point for barter. This is not a requirement. All trade offers and subsequent bartering shall be done through PM.
Payments - Payments, via Paypal, are to be made under the "Goods and Services" option. Sellers are forbidden to request, or require, "Personal Payments" (aka "Gift" option) for items being sold.
Commenting - The B/S/T forum is not a place for jokes, comments, discussions, recommendations, or suggestions on where to purchase products.
Negative comments in sales threads are forbidden and will result in revocation of B/S/T forum privileges.
Offers - Should be made via PM only
Bumping (aka bringing your thread to the top) - A maximum of 1 thread bump per 48hr period is allowed although not required.
Status - Threads will be marked with the correct status of the transaction with a correct thread prefix. The thread should be closed by the thread starter at completion of the transaction.
Policy - Using the B/S/T forum is a privilege reserved for our active members, access to the B/S/T forum may be revoked at any time for any reason.
The administrators, moderators, and KKF owners are not responsible for possible negative outcomes that may result from any sale/trade agreements made in the B/S/T forum.

Thread Prefix Required to Post
A thread prefix is a pre-defined text applied to a thread title. You may have noticed that this thread showed a bold red "Info Post" within the forum listings, this is a thread prefix.
Since most are typing this out anyway in their post titles, and in an effort to streamline the BST, I've gone ahead and turned on the thread prefix requirement for the BST forum. What this means is that when you post a new thread to BST you'll be required to select a prefix before the software will allow your thread to be posted. You will not have to type the thread prefix again in your thread title yet everyone can easily see what action you're attempting to accomplish through your post in the BST forum.
Here are the choices to select from as well as what will be shown (in bold) when the thread is displayed:
WTS = Want To Sell
WTB = Want To Buy
WTT = Want To Trade
