Why we have the rules below:

This forum is unlike most of the other pipe forums, it exists entirely on site sponsors - who sell pipes and tobacco.

Thanks to our site sponsors, the cost to participate in the forum? - ZERO!
All of the other pipe forums have similar rules or even require a fee to be a forum seller.

PipesMagazine.Com Tobacco Sell, Swap & Search Forum Rules.
- No commercial vendors. IE this section is not available to vendors with a brick and mortar store OR a webstore. This section is for hobbyist forum members only. Paid site sponsors are permitted to use this section.

- This section is for tobacco blends ONLY. Please post pipes and accessories in the appropriate section

- Cigar sales or trades are not allowed (there are plenty of cigar sites,please use them)

- "Wanted to buy (Blank)" ads ARE ALLOWED in this area. Be reasonable in your expectations.

- No Ebay auction links are allowed in an ad.

- A member must have a minimum of 100 valid posts to create an ad (i.e comments with some substance). This encourages members to participate, and not just opportunistic people wishing only to sell.

- A member must be in good standing for four months prior to posting an ad

- Members may post only one ad per week (ie: every seven calendar days). Ads completed or deleted, etc. count, one ad per week, no matter the outcome.

- A maximum of 10 items per posting will be strictly enforced. This can be 10 tins or ten "lots". If you try to circumvent the rules by breaking lots, the moderators have the right to delete your ad at their discretion.

- Any Lot listings must state one clear price for the lot, with a maximum of ten lots allowed.


- The sale price must be clearly listed for each item, including lots. A lot is defined as a group of tins, for one price. (ie: Lot 6 - 10 tins of Dunhill MM965 - $100). No offers only, silent auctions, etc.

- Please complete any offers or bartering via Private Message. Pipe or tobacco discussions should not occur via reply in a sales ad. Confine tobacco discussions to other appropriate discussion areas of the forum. Please don't reply with complaint posts, nor that you have sent a PM. Your opinion on the cost of a product, value, etc is not needed nor welcome.

- Specific items must be listed - nothing like: "many items to trade", etc.

- We suggest that all shipping include a means of tracking the package (USPS Priority, etc.)

- All ads must include in the title, the date of the post. Ads with no date will be deleted.

- Once an original ad has been placed, additional items cannot be added. Please only update the threads as items are no longer available (sold or traded) and do not add additional items. The moderators do not have the time to update thread titles, so please use the reply method for keeping the ad current. Infractions on this rule may cause your ad to be deleted without warning.

- All forum sales and trades are strictly between agreeing members and PipesMagazine.com bears no responsibilities.

- Any deceitful or dishonest ads/tactics will result in immediate removal from the forum. Report any integrity issues to a moderator.

- PipesMagazine.com is not responsible for any trades or sales. Completion of a transaction is solely between the agreeing members.

For deals crossing international borders:

- Pipesmagazine.com does not condone the circumvention of any laws, the avoiding of applicable taxation, or the sharing of methods for getting packages through Customs by deception.

- Any discussion of methods for the circumvention of taxes, Customs, or the violation of laws will be immediately deleted, and the Member will receive a warning. A second instance could result in that Member being banned from Pipesmagazine.com

As a courtesy to everyone, members who post an ad should update as below:

1. Once the transaction has been completed, the seller should post their reply in the thread requesting the ad be deleted. The ad will be deleted by the end of the day in most cases. If your ad is not deleted in a timely manner, use the "Report" function to request a deletion.

2. All ads older than six months will be deleted.

Members not following the rules will warned and ads deleted. Repeat issues will result in a 30 day ban from the forum, but could be longer. Certain infractions may cause the ad to be deleted without warning.

Updating your ad will facilitate the keeping this section of the forum organized and free of extraneous, out of date, and completed trades/sales/swaps; making it much easier to be utilized by everyone.
