Buy/Sell/Trade/Wanted Forum Rules (B/S/T) / Pipe Makers Forum

9. Carvers/Pipe Makers who wish to sell their pipes on PSU are permitted to do so once you have met the minimum post count of 50 (Dr. Grabow rank). If you have a website, you may include links once you have met the post requirements.

The purpose of this forum is to interact with others who enjoy the hobby of pipes, cigars and smokeless tobacco. Pipe Smokers Unleashed is not a vehicle for free advertising. Post not meeting these requirements will be deleted.

Note: PSU is not responsible for any transactions resulting from using this service.

10. Buying/Selling/Trading in the forum is at your own risk! In the rare event any member does not fulfill their end of the deal, the administrators and moderators do not have the ability to rectify the situation. After several attempts to remedy the situation, if the party does not make good on their end, you may post that the deal was not fulfilled. Please keep it polite and civil, personal attacks and name calling serves no purpose, even in these situations, and posts containing personal attacks will be deleted.

11. No raffles of any kind are allowed; this includes, but is not limited to, posts asking that a website or Facebook page be “Liked” for the purposes of winning prizes.

12. Open auctions will be permitted with prior approval from the administrators.

These rules are not all encompassing and cannot cover every possible scenario, Pipe Smoker Unleashed Forum Administrators and Moderators reserve the right to delete/edit/lock posts (and in extreme cases ban members) who post inappropriate content, without warning.

With all that said, we do try to keep a light touch to the moderation...after all, we are all here to have some fun!!!

Please don't hesitate to contact any of the admins or mods if you have any questions, concerns, or need help with anything
