We clarified the iSJ ad posting policies with this page a few months ago:
http://isaintjohn.com/Advertising/
AD GUIDELINES:
The above link mentions that ads for brand-new items bought specifically to resell can only be posted through paid ads. Prices start at $6 per ad, or $5.55/week for multiple ads (based on a multi-week package).
We have advertisers who have paid to sell items like that, so this rule helps ensure fairness and also helps cover site costs.
EXCEPTIONS:
An exception will be made (and the ad is still free) if the systems are being sold for the retail price + tax (plus perhaps $25 extra to cover extra costs, such as time and gas). However, the ad
must clearly state that the item is being sold within this price (i.e. please do not expect us to know the retail price of any & every item -- if there's reasonable cause to believe it's being sold for a profit, it will be removed).
TO POST AN AD:
If you would like to sell a brand new game system (for more than retail price + tax + $25), please visit this page for details:
http://isaintjohn.com/Advertising
TO REPORT AN AD:
Or if you see an ad for a game system being sold at above retail price + tax + $25, please use the "Report this post" option (by clicking on this icon:
located in the yellow bar of each post). This only applies if the seller is not a paying member of iSJ (for paying members, it says "Paid account" below their username).
Thanks
