from the sticky under Prohibited Items & Topics

*Illegal items. This includes (but is not limited to) illegal copies of books, software, etc and knockoff/replica items that infringe on trademarks. Torrent sites, memberships, etc., are not allowed either.

*Software licenses, e-book activation codes, video game activation keys, video game service accounts like Xbox Live, Steam, etc. We're not going to list every possible thing, but if there's an activation code involved, then it's probably not permitted.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for missing that; feel free to delete this.

no prob. going to merge it into the marketplace questions thread. *fingers crossed- not sure I've done a merge before*

edit: great success imo

Im in ontario, canada trying to buy new york ranger hockey tickets for april 7th, however it seems I cannot use a canadian credit card, how do I go about this?

Earlier I believe I had a thread deleted from the market place forum. I pmed dlk9s who was the only mod online at the time but have not received a reply.

My thread was asking for someone to complete a maths assignment for me in exchange for money. I have seen threads here asking for this to be done before and I did not find anything against this in the posting rules thread.

Why was it deleted?

The previous threads you saw would've/should've been deleted, because they aren't allowed. You are right, though, that is something missing from the stickies...we're in the process of updating them this week.

so, is it allowed to advertise in your thread that coaching is being given out and is a huge portion of the stake?


or is that still not allowed

Being discussed in the mod forum already.

am i allowed to sell a starcraft beta key code in the marketplace? not sure how this site is on virtual stuff like that.

Hey guys,

I have three nintendo wii's to sell with 100 games or so that I have stuck on a hard drive.

Am I allowed to sell these in marketplace?

Thanks

I guess it's my turn to ask a question. You know I wrote half of those rules but here's one I'm not 100% sure about.

I have a music creation software package I want to sell, goes for about $300 new. Have all of the original packaging, install discs, proof of purchase, and the serial number with it.

The manufacterer of this software will grant permission to transfer the software to a new owner on a case-by-case basis, but you need their permission first (it's specificed in their EULA just that way). I contacted them about de-registering the product and as I'm purchasing other stuff from them, expect to get the ok. Important to note that this particular software will not function or update unless the serial number is registered on their website, and only for one owner. Music-related apps like this are pretty strict.

Now I know a person can sell a software package that's never been opened, like a Windows 7 kit. And I know that you can't sell "used" serials to avoid people "sharing" licenses. But what about in a case like this where the new owner is getting the hard copy of everything, and can verify that they're the only user registered for that software package?

Follow up to my above question... here's the reply from the manufacturer (they're in Sweden and got back to me pretty quickly):

And so on. So is this ok to post a thread to sell?

Meant to make this clearer.

The wiis have been soft modded.

No - anything with "cd keys" not ok

Not knowing the guy who wrote the rules - I'd say most of them were written to protect copyright etc.

Since the manufacturer of the software has ok'd the sale I don't see any problems with this thread - you might notate in the OP what you've said in these posts.

I would think something where you can verify the ability to transfer it with the manufacturer is alright imo.

I've requested market approval several times over the last 6 months and have been turned down so far. I've been here well over 6 months now and my account is in good standing unless there's some secret I don't know about, so I honestly can't figure out why I haven't been accepted. Can a MOD please PM me the reason I'm getting declined? I want to at least know why or what I'm doing wrong.

PM'd

Can anyone answer my question?

If not I will just post assuming that it is allowed.

Thanks.

Are the games on the HDDs homebrew or pirated VC/Wiiware games?

Games are on the USB harddrive so yeah Homebrew I think.

They aren't on cds for example.

What games?

I will make a list tomorrow and pm you if you like.

Just shattered this now and about to crash.

Please do.
