Rule #4: Ad format: Use a proper DESCRIPTIVE Title & Content
If you want to post your ad in multiple relevant forums, which is good, then please title your ad appropriately. Good example: "Have Eldar and Tau, want to trade for Dark Elves and Empire." This will fit NICELY in the 40K and Fantasy sections!

Bad example: "Have Eldar and Tau." If this shows up in the fantasy section, it will be nuked!
Other BAD examples: "Have stuff.", "H: Lots! W: Lots!", "Tomb Kings"

Rule 4a: You are also responsible for accurately describing all items that you are trading or selling.
That includes version, condition, assembly status, converted or not, painted or not, any missing pieces and any other information you think might be helpful. Failure to do so may result in the other party filing a Backout Trader or Bad Trader report against you.

Too many poses, with hat, with shako, with coat, full dress, etc. There's no sense wasting time counting items a buyer is not interested in. If you want Prussians marching in full dress there's no point in counting French advancing in campaign dress.

I have over 1000 Napoleonics. I have uncounted numbers in varying poses, with hat, with shako, with coat, full dress, etc.
If you are interested, shoot me a PM. We can arrange specifics from there.

No. Are you outraged when the flyer that comes in the mail does not have a complete list of all items and quantities in your local store? No. You go inside and someone asks you what you are looking for. Once they know what you're interested in, then they direct you to the product or the appropriate department.

There's no need for outrage. This is a normal and customary business practice.

The seller either provides a better description to entice buyers or the buyer asks for more details about what the seller has to offer. The market works.
