A Great Deal On Amazing Batteries

[Big Bear]

I just picked a couple up yesterday and couldn't be happier. Just thought I would give some Expo guys a chance at these. :Wow1:

H mm I didn't see it but the guy was legit. And for this price I almost bought four.

These appear to be in the 75AH range. Just FYI. Size is, what, Group 24 maybe? Can't quite tell.

GNB = Exide

These are 25 minutes from me. . I'm bummed I missed this and just spent over $200 on a single Die Hard Platinum...

Though It may have been a great deal and the guy is legit, the sale does not comply with few the the forum guidelines.
seems like people just don't read those, and with fairness to the forum sponsors, apparently and rightfully got omitted.
He also had a link to his Ebay listing for those of you who still want one! just search for deep cycle batteries, he had about 30 of them IIRC.

Please elaborate on what rules have been overlooked. I have looked and I don't really see a conflict but I am not trying to buck the system just wanting others to be able to take advantage of this deal. This guy is not a retailer, he bought these from a contractor and is selling them as an individual. But I would like to know why this listing doesn't fit the rules as I have read the rules and try to follow them the best that I can.
Thanks

There's a difference between a member posting about a great deal on batteries, like Big Bear has done, and posting as a vendor trying to sell batteries.

On ExPo, a member is acting like a vendor if they:

-- Are trying to sell any products they do not have in their immediate possession.
-- Are trying to sell a single product which is NEW and in a quantity > 5.
-- Are trying to sell a single product which is USED in a quantity >10.
-- Reference their own website external to their post for more information.
-- Have a post count < 50

All businesses or vendors who desire to advertise and sell their products using the ExpeditionPortal.com forum must be part of Forum Sponsors program.

To find out more about the program, please send an e-mail to info@expeditionportal.com.

Thanks Chip, that helps allot. Just to clarify I am not associated with the guy selling these batteries in any way. Just letting others know about the great deal I got. :wings:

Linking a different site like you did is fine, considering you are not related to the seller.

Chip laid out the requirements above, but basically the issue is that someone bought a bunch of batteries with the intent of selling them for a profit. We don't allow that here because it is not fair to the sponsoring vendors who pay for the privilege to market on this forum.

Selling left overs or take-offs from personal projects is fine. Buying with the intent of selling [on this forum] for profit is not.

All good to know and I am glad I wasn't out of line posting this up.
