On other forums that I'm on they have a few rules:
-For sale items must include a price
-Postage costs or collection details should be stated
-Should state if also advertised elsewhere (ebay etc)
-All negotiations to be kept on the thread and only go to PM to exchange addresses etc
-No gazumping once price agreed. First to offer asking price gets it, otherwise if price is negotiated then is final once accepted unless buyer backs out.
I'm not saying it should be exactly like that here but it keeps things clear and above board and is quite common on other forums. Depends on the mods/admin how hands-on they want to be I suppose.
On a general note I also always look to see where someone is located. If they're a short ride away I'll be more likely to buy as it means no waiting for the postie.
