> WELCOME!
As somebody who has actively participated in the official Buy/Sell/Trade before, I can say first-hand that it is very difficult for us Europeans to complete transactions, despite there being many of us. It is also quite disheartening seeing something you really, really want, only to be declined by somebody who refuses to ship internationally. With demand popping up from time to time in the official thread, as well as today's discussion in the Cheap Arse Gaffer thread, I have decided to create a thread that gives us Europeans a home for our transactions. After all, I'm sure we'd all much rather sell to our friends at GAF than to some stranger on eBay.
> I'M NEW TO THIS!
We've all been at some point in our lives. Fortunately, a team of dedicated Gaffers have put together a brilliant beginner's guide, which also applies very much to this thread.

> POSTING RULES
Before we kick this off, I've created a few posting rules to streamline things a little. Please feel free to PM me with your suggestions, and I will make amendments when necessary.
* Please state clearly whether your post is a FOR SALE/TRADE or WANTED ad. Nothing is more gutting than seeing pictures of your favourite childhood memory in plastic wrap for 20, only to realise it's just a "wanted" ad.
* When you've sold something, please update your post to reflect this. Use the [strike][/strike] tags and a clear "SOLD" label, or just remove it entirely.
* Do not "bump" your post unless you have added more items to it, or it is more than a week old.
* Photos are good! Please don't hold back on them, but do consider using thumbnails linked to full-size photos.
* If you're selling and not in Europe, but willing and able to ship to the continent for a reasonable price, then please feel free to post here! And non-European buyers: if the seller has not stated, please feel free to ask them if they are happy to ship to your country.
* Please clearly post your location and shipping destinations (domestic, Europe, or worldwide). A suggested format is as follows:
Location: Cambridge, U.K.
Will ship to Europe only, local pickup available
> FEEDBACK
Crisis, MidnightScott and Zaraki_Kenpachi do a great job of maintaining a feedback Google Doc based on the Buy/Sell/Trade thread. It's a great point of reference, so please do use it when conducting your transactions. Hopefully we can convince them to consider our own feedback in the document.
