No one wants your 'never been used' paint from '87 mate.
You've got less than a week left to sell it as 'new in box' though

a bit of a wild card, but what about OLD kit, BNIP/B? for eg, i have some 05/06 jerseys/pants that i never used, and are still wrapped, but most shops dont stock them any more, are they also banned? also, what about products you simply CANT buy over here? like LE parts only available at events? i havnt been to the states or th MS this year, but it doesnt mean i wont be interested, maybe in buying them!

That's classed as New Old Stock - and as such must be clearly stated in your sale post.
So, it is your responsibility to check that the items you sell as NOS or a variation of that term do not undercut any UK store that may sell the same product line. Sound fair?
ah, cheers, i knew it wasnt much of an issue before, i was just wondering i it was effected now.
My understanding was that for MAP pricing to be ratified by the OFT and DTI it had to be a volountry agreement between manufacturer, supplier and dealer stopping short of the customer. So if an individual owns an item it is upto them what price they sell it for which is one of the purposes of a classified section anyway. MAPs have so many loopholes its untrue so i can iagine it'll take up a hell of alot of mod's time to even attempt to effectively police it? I can't say the new classifieds rules affect me but thought i'd ask in the interest of fair trading
Are you also proposing that if i bought something from Eclipse (e.g.) at £19.95 plus postage, i'm not allowed to sell it for less than that until they drop their prices? So manufacturers will need to publish their price drops so people can sell things quickly in classifieds and not contravene the rules.
To me it just seems that if i was paying the prices for the amount of exposure (which i've looked into on past business projects) then they want their banners displayed as much as possible. The banner is different on every page. The highest traffic section on this forum is the classifieds which i'm assuming also has the highest number of page changes per min per user. So if the use of classifieds goes down because people are no longer getting the cheap prices they're after, then the dealers you're trying to protect might be benefitting in sales but losing out on exposure ultimately rendering investment in banners on P8ntballer as an unecessary cost?

Yes the 'private'/'non PGI supporting' seller doesnt have to respect MAP.My understanding was that for MAP pricing to be ratified by the OFT and DTI it had to be a volountry agreement between manufacturer, supplier and dealer stopping short of the customer.

As long as he can buy them cheap enough, you cant stop him selling items below retail.
After this rule is in place, the 'private'/'non PGI supporting' seller cant sell brand new items anymore on PGI classifieds.
Problem solved.
In the case of a shop, the exposure has to result in sales or the shop goes out of business.
For example, if I owned a grocers, there would be no point in starting an advertising campaign at the local Tescos, no matter how high the exposure, because Tescos prices are very competitive.
Now you know how the rest of us feel when you post................ and in answer to your question........... Not a chance!
I agree with Gassy's idea, but I wouldn't say these forums exist because of advertising revenue. The cost of running a forum like this should be very low for PGi, their main revenue being the mags. The forum does give them EXTRA revenue however by charging for advertising.
First off we are not mates! I don't remember a time we hung out and drank together.
If you don't like the rules I have a button here that says ban and I will push it!
