Rules for the Crazy Deals Forum

[LucKie355]

Before Posting
We don't want to discourage people from posting deals, but simply copying/pasting regular sales aren't real deals. Get a feel by searching for what would be good prices for the items, and only post if its considerably cheaper than the going price.

Prior to posting, please use the search feature to see if your contribution has already been posted.

What information should I include when I post a deal?
Try to include as much detail as possible in the title. Then expand on it in your post. General info to provide: full retail price of the product/item, price after all applicable discounts, expiration date of the deal, minimum purchase requirements, site link, shipping and handling costs, and a coupon code if necessary. The more information you include, the better.

Follow up if possible, so you can edit your post to include new developments. Be careful when using dashes in your post, they can make it seem like you are getting paid in the deal. (ie, .... camera bag -$59)

Rebate involved?
Please include AR (after rebate) to indicate the final price after rebate.

Ebay Auctions
We have no way of knowing whether you are/aren't the seller. If you want to help someone find something on ebay - post a link to the general search, or tell them what keywords to use when searching.

Guidelines on Reposts
If you spot a repost, provide a link to the original post.
Use the report post button to report the post to the moderators.
If your post is hailed as a repost, don't be discouraged. Better luck next time!
Do not create new threads to inform that another deal is still available. Replying to the original thread will bump it up to the top of the list.

General usage comments

-If you feel something is against the rules, report the post instead of taking it upon yourself to correct the action.
-Illegal activities are not tolerated here so please do not tell us about them. This includes any form of piracy.
-Threads in the deals section are designed for deals discussion only. There are other forums on this site dedicated for you to share your opinions on everything else. Any off topic discussion will either be deleted or split off and placed in the appropriate forum.
-Users who violate these rules will have their posts edited/deleted and be warned/given points.

**Final Reminder**
These rules are a general guideline on what is acceptable. Just because its not specifically spelled out above, does not mean it's allowed. The admins/moderators work in the spirit of the rules stated in order to keep a general flow to the forum.

As always, if you have any questions, problems, or suggestions please visit Forum Suggestions.

Thank you,
