The RX-8 OC has strict rules on trading within the forum.

All selling activity must take place within the existing “Buying and Selling” Forum area.

Any Club member can sell what they like, within reason, without restriction. This is a benefit to Club members who want to sell stuff, and to forum users who want to buy stuff. Moderators will monitor to ensure this privilege is not abused. A Club member may use a trading name as a username, with no restriction on using a forum avatar or signature relating to their business.

Group buys carried out by Club Members are encouraged and are not regarded as Trading or Selling on the forum.

Anyone wishing to Trade on the forum outside these rules may wish to apply for "Trader" or "Sponsor Trader" status, details of which can be found
