Corporals have storage for 100 IMs, but have no image hosting abilities as part of the sturmgewehr.com galleries. After the first year, the Corporal rank will lose it’s ability to post ads, and will need to upgrade to a Sergeant level to do so.

Posting on Buy/Sell Boards
-
Sturmgewehr.com allows individuals and commercial entities alike to post to the Buy/Sell boards. We ask that all commercial users (those who sell the same item in large quantities, operate under a business name, selling for profit, or possessing an FFL, etc) upgrade their accounts to a commercial account. This can be done by emailing site@sturmgewehr.com or by going to the Sturmgewehr.com Store . During the transition period to the new board format, we will offer a grace period for commercial and non-commercial users to become familiar with the new format, after which users will be encouraged to upgrade to the account level that suits their needs.
-
Post as many items as you wish within your designated ranks abilities, but please limit non-commercial posts to 4 on the 1st page of each section at any given time, and for commercial users 8 ads on the 1st page (4 Star Generals and Admirals are asked to use their best judgment as officers, and not carpet bomb the boards, but they have operational authority to post as many ads as necessary). Do not bump ads unless they have been posted for 2 weeks or more. This means that if you post an ad, you must wait at least 2 weeks before you reply to it for the purpose of bumping it back to the top of the page.
-
There are no system limitations to the number of images that you may post per ad, but please be realistic in the abilities of the audience you are trying to reach in terms of bandwidth and screen size. Image size limits are 2MB each, which is about 20 times what is realistically needed to post an image of sufficient quality and serving speed.
-
Feel free to consolidate multiple items into one ad (especially for commercial members – it will conserve your post count).
-
All posts should contain very accurate description(s) of the item(s) for sale, what city and state the item is located in, as well as the terms of the sale.
-
All posts should contain the price of the item being sold within the ad text – placing the price in the title is optional.
-
Do not post the same item in multiple market forums, or multiple times in the same forum.
-
The use of tags in the subject of an ad is reserved for Captain and above.
-
When posting items, if you are not prepared to ship or deliver the item in a timely fashion, please do not post that item here. If you are unable to respond to emails, please also do not post here. The same applies to buyers; if you are unable to arrange for payment with a seller in a timely fashion, please do not begin a purchase you might not be able to complete. Do not list items for sale that you do not have in your immediate possession, and/or to which you do not legally own title.
-
Please do not flame or comment on pricing... If the price is too high, then don't buy it.
-
Do not delete text within the ad; this information is valuable to others in helping gauge the market, instead update your ad with sold or strike through your price in addition to sold.
-
Please do not link ads to auction sites. Ads that are posted in parallel to, or are used to promote, drive traffic to, or result in a buyer conducting transactions on an auction site for items advertised on Sturmgewehr.com are not allowed. Choose to list your item here, or on an auction site. Do not list in on both simultaneously.
