Terms and Conditions

FOR SELLERS...

Quick & Dirty. (1) Submit the ad form, fully completed. (2) I will send you a PayPal invoice for payment. (3) You pay the invoice. (4) I publish your ad. EASY!

Ads We Accept. Old Radio Classified accepts ads for antique & collectible radios, phonographs, televisions, memorabilia, parts, accessories, and books & manuals. Ads for computers, cameras, cell phones, or modern era electronics (my call) are not allowed. Every for-sale ad must have at least one accompanying photograph; up to five are allowed. ORC also accepts free "wanted" ads.

Run Time. Ads will run for a 90-day period. Ads are automatically deleted at the end of that time. Existing or expired ads may be renewed for additional months, provided they are still in the site's database; otherwise, sellers must use the submit form and enter a new ad. Ad texts or photographs may NOT be changed once the ad is published; contact information may be updated, however, at no charge. If your item sells while your ad is active, you may request the ad be removed; however, no refunds will be given in this case. Ads for "Services" run for 180 days.

Rates. Will be determined based upon the price of the item for sale; every item must have a selling price, although you may add OBO (or best offer) to any item's price. I accept PayPal payments ONLY. When you send me your ad & photo, include your PayPal account's e-mail address and I will send you a PayPal invoice. When I receive payment, I will publish your ad(s). Rates for "Services" ads are $25 for a 180-day ad. Ads may be renewed for additional 90-day periods at the prices shown below. No changes may be made to renewal ads except for contact information and (lower) pricing. Yes, you must pay for renewals (this ain't the Radio Attic); all the more reason to carefully consider your initial asking price!

Submitting Ads. Submit the form with your photo(s) included; if the form doesn't work for you, send an e-mail to webmaster@oldradioclassified.com with your ad's photo(s) attached. The form includes your ad's title and text, means of contact (e-mail address or phone number), PayPal e-mail address, asking price, name, and phone number (required for my records but not required to be displayed in your ad); you can attach your photo in the form as well. Fill the form out completely, including your FULL name and telephone number. Ads must be paid for BEFORE they are published; please don't ask me why your ad isn't appearing before you've paid for them. Allow me 72 hours response time for (a) sending your PayPal invoice and (2) posting your ad once you've paid for it; I'm retired and my mind wanders off occasionally. For "wanted" ads, submit this form instead.

Multiple Ads. Sellers submitting more than three ads at the same time will get a 10% discount off the total fees; sellers submitting more than six ads at the same time will get a 20% discount off the total fees.

Photographs. TWO photos are allowed per for-sale ad. Give it your best shot; don't send me yucky cell-phone photos. Send good quality photographs that show off what you're trying to sell. Don't crop your photos; I will do that for you. Photos should be uploaded into the ad submit form, or they can be-mailed to webmaster@oldradioclassified.com in .jpg format (PLEASE identify the photo if you send it in a separate e-mail so I can "connect" it with the ad). I will scan paper photographs for you at no charge if you do not have a digital camera; if you want the photos returned, you will need to pay return postage. I will display your photo at 800 pixels max (height or width, whichever is larger). Please don't send me more than two photos and ask me to choose which one to use; that's your job. Photographs are not allowed for "Services" or "Wanted" ads.

Contact Information. You will need to provide contact information for your ad. E-mail address is preferred, but phone numbers are acceptable also. You do not have to put your name in your ad, but doing so is preferable as it gives prospective buyers a warm fuzzy about you and increases the chance of selling your stuff.

Communications About Your Ads. Don't use your girlfriend's or your brother's e-mail account when communicating with the Webmaster! Please use the same e-mail address as the one in your ads; please don't expect me to pull dick@aol.com's ad if you send an e-mail from harry@hotmail.com! Always use the Ad Identification Number (in parentheses at the end of your ad) when communicating about an ad; if I have to search for your ad, I'll get cranky.

Guarantees. I promise I will publish your ad as soon as you pay for it!. I cannot promise that your ad will get results; all I can do is provide the space for your ad. Each ad will have an expiration date printed so you and prospective buyers will know how much longer your ad will be on the site.

Speaka-de-English? Only ads written in English will be accepted. More specifically, only ads written in GOOD English will be accepted. If your ad looks like it was texted by a teenager, I won't post it. If I can't understand what you are trying to sell, I won't post it. If you do not use punctuation or capital letters where required by Grammar 101, I won't post it; go to night school and learn how to communicate. I reserve the right to refuse to publish any ad for any reason. Don't like it? Send your ad to Antique Radio Classified magazine instead. EXCEPTION: Sellers from non-English speaking countries who make the effort will get free assistance composing ads.

Not Good Enough? I am always open to suggestions for improving this web site. Send them on!

P.S. These terms may be changed, revised, adjusted, modified, tweaked, or deleted at any time and for any reason by the Webmaster.

WANTED ADS...

How to Post a Wanted Ad. Just submit the "wanted ads" form. Wanted ads are free and run for 90 days; no photos are allowed. You must follow the same rules as for-sale ads above. Wanted ads may be renewed; just send the Webmaster the ad number and I'll renew it for another 90 days.

FOR BUYERS...

How to Buy from ORC Advertisers. Contact the seller to discuss the purchase. Ask lots of questions to avoid misunderstandings and disappointments. Be aware of the item's condition and how it will be packaged. Find out what types of payment the seller will accept and how the item will be shipped. Pay when promised.

How to Keep Up with New Stuff. Visit the What's New page or subscribe to the RSS Feed. The What's New page will show thumbnails of all the items added to the site in the previous seven days. The RSS feed will have both thumbnails and descriptions/prices of all new items.

Guarantees. Old Radio Classified is like a newspaper: the seller pays for the ad, I publish the ad. If the seller turns out to be a jerk, I can't help it. I will accept no responsibility for less than satisfactory performance of a seller, for any reason.
