Are we allowed to advertise items for sale?

Without getting banned I'd thought I would ask the question first!
If I had a new XDA Trion for sale, could I advertise it here rather than put it on eBay?
I've done a quick search through the forum & couldn't find any rules.
Thanks
Jamie

It is good that you asked, alot of people think that trying to sale you phone on here is not good. But i think that sometime it is ok, but then sometimes not!!!
I think that if you write some thing and let it go for people to read, then ok, but some people i have seen will try and keep it at the top of the list and it just bugs people!!!
But if you are nice and dont bug people, i dont think anyone would moan about it!!!
so a long story short, i would do it but if some one does not like it, take it out!!!

There is truth in what Funman says. In general we do not allow selling of devices on the forum except now and again when someone is letting it be known their older device is now for sale. Occasionally it's ok on a device specific board if it's for spare parts. Also I think it best that such adverts are kept away from device specific boards and put in General or Off Topic. If I were you I would PM Flar our admin for official guidance.

Thanks for the advise. I think I'll just eBay it. I don't want to risk getting banned!
Thanks again.

Hmmm......... posts on craig list and sells on xda devs - tells a story in itself... even before the craigslist post was removed ??????????
So sell it if you want, but stop double posting - this is a developers forum not ebay
Yep, this is a double posted reply

sorry saw others offer there phones on here before thought it was ok. it was removed cause i posted it on CL in computers and electronics. I wasn't trying to piss anyone off, just trying to offer my Tilt.
My apologies.

Even more pathetic are the people who bought it, If they had took 2 seconds to search google for "HD2 Android" they would have an abundance of instructions for free.

Yeah You right

Yeah You right. This is not the place. But i have mentioned why i bought this thing here. Second! perhaps you don't care. But some people of XDA working hard to do this stuff for free. And someone selling their hard work for own interest. So may be they people have some serious care about this. I am sorry if i have offended you.

i agree that is really wrong!!! these instructions were given to all of us for free. and now its being sold off! i hope ebay bans the guy that is trying to make money off of piracy! i would report to ebay but its not my work being copied and sold.
xda should take action!

I reported it to eBay and also posted a question saying "This information is availabel for free at xda-developers.com", which will appear at the bottom of the page.

Questions only appear at bottom of page if the ebay seller chooses to put them there, not just when anybody asks a question.

Oh...... Fail. lol

I don't believe xda needs to care about..
--
People buying this on eBay are most probably not too tech savvy and this can have a positive aspect as well :
-redundant questions will be directed to the seller and not (again) in anew thread here
But if somebody feels bothered by this, the best way would be to pm the buyer with the link to the free rom, this will most probably lead to a bad seller rating on eBay..
I personally don't mind, if I can sell something for $ although it is available for free, I am a lucky person then (or the buyer not too bright)
Maybe I should sell some air in a jar,- have some around here..

[AVAILABILITY THREAD] This Is The Official Thread For Availability For All Nations.

Availability Thread​
This thread has been created to give everybody the opportunity to share availability information. I am aware we have ones for different countries, but its looking like we will have one for every nation soon. These will be closed and further opening of such thread will also be closed. I really dont like the segregation of different countries as they often turn out to be "exclusive" discussion threads. XDA is all about a international community so i really dont want this forum to go against that ethos.
So lets all share that international spirit
Please only discuss availability in this thread, we now have sticky threads for off topic, reviews etc. This has been done to pool information for all users, hopefully making it a better place for all. I hope this has cleared up any questions.
EDIT: Do not post about moderation issues, these should be handled by PM​

sounds about right but for contract little less, myself having 3 lines due for upgrade this month and next month, the upgrade price offering from ATT will be nice and afforable IMHO

Sir, Please read the OP and try to understand...
BTW it is a Development Forum, feel lucky OT and this thread are avail for you, believe me relaxation is at it's most. Thank You

Ideally I would like to argue. But, I think people from India should just take these discussions to an India forum rather than xda.

Yes. You would have to. Also its always best to ask the seller directly. I suggest. You wait a few days, unless you really want that asha

Hello,
we the members of Xda have been facing a problem with opening a official Indian owners thread on the new opened galaxy note 2 forum..
The thread has been created 3 times in past 2 days and have been closed by the newly assigned mods in the forum..
I request you on behalf of all the people from India that this thread be created or reopened (i didn't know who else to turn to as I have requested the mods there several times)
Why u keep closing thread when this types of thread have kept on existing and are running without any problem on many other threads..
What the mods exactly want the title/content is not being cleared..
Here are some thread that are running since the launch of that phone till today without being closed/problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1588700
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1623525
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1570507
This are just some phones I owned and their threads I used on daily basis..
Why problem only in note 2 thread..
Either specify what exactly the title/content should be or reasons why threads are being closed only here..
We find problems and difficulties finding latest stores, prices, availability, contacts of owners, and it would be really appreciated if thread be kept exited/reopened..
Thanking you..
Sent to broncogr, _Alex_ and senior moderators and moderator panel and this thread specific moderator..
Please understand and reopen or let a new thread be created..
Thanking you..

@sumeshd I don't even understand why you guys are pursuing this so much. Create a thread on a friendlier forum, post the link and be done with it.

http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/pay-as-you-go/htc-one-m8-payg/sku81646-grey I think that's the deal he's talking about.

Sorry, here's a link. I've just ordered one online. http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/mShop/de...vices/deviceListing/filters/selectFilters.jsp
Edit, that link doesn't seem to work, but believe they're there. Go to Vodafone site, click pay and go, then "refine" search to HTC.

That link doesn't work mate, session expired. I linked to the deal I think you were "talking" about.

That's it, don't know what I did. It's easy enough to find within Vodafone web site.

I think maybe you copied the link that you were on while buying the phone. If you click continue shopping it goes on about "basket being empty".
Oh well...

It might be a "duplicate" but it's relevant. After my first post the offer "disappeared" but today the offer is "back on".

Moderator Information,
I have reviewed this thread and decided to close. There is a dedicated thread here for UK users: [UK]Htc One (2014) - UK Users [Chatting,Discussion,Availabilty,Pricing,Etc] While the information in this thread is useful to users, it is best to add it into the above mentioned thread rather than creating new threads each time a deal is introduced.
Many thanks,
