In view of the tremendous supplies of saleable items in the Bazaar folder, may I suggest a "flea market" element to be integrated into our monthly meetup? Essentially, it will still be the same regular BMW-SG meetup, but with goods on sale kept in the trunk or cabin. Nothing will be displayed on the floor.
This will:
(a) encourage more prospective buyers/sellers from BMW-SG to show face and products, essentially better participation - more reason to go to the meetup;
(b) ease the process of internet vending - nothing beats the real viewing and transactions;
(c) weed out suspicious vendors of goods with questionable sources - put a face to the things you are buying, more opinions on authenticity, fitment, quality........
Please feel free to comment.
These rules will be the receipt confirmation that the vending forumer will agree to upon entry to the market:
(1) Information - forumers who are interested in selling some items are encouraged to post the list before the meetup date for awareness in the meetup post.
(2) Sellers and Buyers - the admin/moderators of BMW-SG reserves the right to refuse admission to any non-BMW-SG vendor.
(3) List of banned items - sale of any item prohibited by the law is NOT allowed to be sold at the meetup, as well as the following:
(a) Fireworks, weapons, drug related products, flammable or dangerous items;
(b) Animals and pets;
(c) Tobacco/cigarettes, cooked food, soft drinks, juices or alcoholic beverages;
(d) Political materials
(4) Offensive items - BMW-SG's meetup is a "family meetup", therefore absolutely NO pornographic or "X" rated material such as films, magazines, DVDs, etc. are allowed to be sold.
(5) Counterfeit/replica items - the sale of counterfeit/replica merchandises, or merchandise which violates trademarks and copyrights of others is DISCOURAGED. Sellers of such items are obligated to verify that the merchandise offered for sale is not counterfeit, or to declare that the merchandise offered for sale is counterfeit. By accepting these rules, sellers indemnifies BMW-SG from any action taken against seller if merchandise is found to be counterfeit. Buyers are encouraged to mark down particulars of selling forumers (such as license plate numbers) to encourage trust and transparency.
(6) Jewelleries, Watches and Expensive Goods - Sellers are DISCOURAGED to transact such goods at the meetup. These should be authenticated by authorised dealers. If these transactions take place, both buyers and sellers will indemnify BMW-SG from any action taken against seller if merchandise is found to be counterfeit.
(7) Order and Conduct - forumers must conduct themselves in an acceptable and orderly manner. The admin/moderator reserve the right to determine what behavior is disorderly or unacceptable. No walking sales are permitted. No loudspeakers, bullhorns, jamming or excessive shouting is allowed. Audio device volume is to be kept LOW. You will be required to turn the device OFF if you are bothering other people.
(8 Vending Space - all items on sale must be kept IN THE CAR - trunk or cabin. You are not allowed to displayed the goods on the ground. The area around your car MUST BE KEPT CLEAN. Please respect the open meetup space. You are responsible for moving/removing your unsold merchandise.
Forumers agree to enjoy themselves and agree to thrive in one of the subtle frontiers where the entreprenuerial spirit lives. Buyers and sellers agree to treat each other with respect, dignity, and to live by the golden rule of treating others the way you would like to be treated. Forumers will further agree to accept a shared responsibility and goal of building the meetup as one of the best in the country. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN BLACKLISTING/REMOVAL FROM BMW-SG FORUM.
