BUYER BEWARE - As this marketplace forum is open to anyone with an e-mail address, there is always the potential for fraud. DO NOT think that just because you are dealing with another NSX owner (or someone who claims to be an owner) that you can trust them any more than you would a stranger. Some suggestions to make sure your deal goes right: 1) Consider the seller. Are they someone well known in the NSX community or a total stranger? 2) If possible, have someone you trust who is local to the seller verify or even pick up and pay for the item for you 2) Use a professional escrow service for high-dollar long-distance transactions 3) Do not be afraid to ask the seller for references from people you trust 4) I strongly encourage you to discuss with your financial institution ways to protect yourself during any high-dollar transaction.
SELLER BEWARE - Sellers can be ripped off too! Do not automatically assume a check is good (even a "certified" check). Checks can be cancelled or forged. Check fraud is also greatly on the rise as computers, scanners and color printers make is easier than ever to make very genuine looking fake documents. Also keep in mind that will see funds in your account before it is truly verified that a check is good; if the check is bad, those funds will be recalled. Do not give out your bank account number for a wire transfer; have the money wired to the bank and then have them transfer it to your account or issue you a cashiers check. I strongly encourage you to discuss with your financial institution ways to protect yourself during any high-dollar transaction.
USE YOUR HEAD - I do not mean to make anybody paranoid or scare you off from using the Marketplace Forums. Literally thousands of transactions have taken place through the NSX Prime Marketplace Forums and the vast majority have gone well. However there have been cases of fraud and misrepresentation of products in the past and there will likely be more in the future. If you use your head and take the appropriate steps to make sure your butt is covered all should be fine.
TIPS ARE APPRECIATED - These forums give you free access to the largest NSX marketplace in the world. While it is provided for free, a considerable amount of time, money and effort goes into making all this work. If you feel the use of this service has benefited you, please considering giving a little something back.
Submitting An NSX Prime Marketplace Ad
The NSX Prime Marketplace is provided as a free service to the NSX community. To help things run more smoothly, there are a few guidelines:
Rules Of The Game:
Only NSX-related ads are accepted
Ads must include detailed information on what is being sold. No vague ads such as "parting out '91 NSX - let me know what you want" or "many parts - e-mail with requests."
This is not an auction site. List your asking price for all cars or normal parts. If you have an odd part like a busted climate control unit that you don't know the value of, a "best offer" ad is OK.
Provide good contact information and timely responses to people inquiring about your ad.
Do not use annoying subject titles like "***** HOT NSX FOR SALE *****". Just type a title describing what you are selling such as "1991 Red/Black NSX for sale". Do not use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS in your ad.
The site administrator reserves the right to remove or reject any ad at any time for any reason. Ads may be edited without notice by the moderators or administrator for style, clarity or length.
Do not reply to an ad just to bump it up higher in the list more than once every 30-days. Such "bump" messages will be deleted. Repeated "bumps" will result in the ad being deleted.
Additional Rules For Vendors and Dealers:
Vendors and dealers are subject to all the Rules of the Game listed above, plus:
VENDOR ADS for NSX parts or services, "market surveys," or any other message of a commercial nature are allowed only in the Vendors forum. The sole exception is for "one-off" items that are not part of regular inventory (i.e. a vendor has a used part returned from a customer for sale), in which case it may be posted in the NSX Parts For Sale forum as long as the ad clearly indicates that you are a vendor or business.
CAR DEALERS: If you are in the business and you are listing an NSX for sale or wanted, you must explicitly indicate that you are a dealer at the beginning of the SUBJECT header for ad (i.e. "DEALER LISTING: 1991 Red/Black NSX For Sale").
Why Was XYZ Ad Deleted?!?!
The moderators move or delete a number of ads each week. They do not keep track of them all, so inquiries about a specific ad cannot and will not be answered. However, ads are typically deleted for one of three reasons:
The person who posted it asked for it to be deleted
The person who posted it did not follow the Rules of the Game above
The person who posted it has been banned
Why Are People Banned From The Marketplace?
People are banned for either of two very simple reasons:
Repeated violations of any of the Rules of the Game listed above
The moderators or administrator have received complaints that the person has misrepresented a product or price, is trying to "bait-and-switch," or is generally not following good faith business practices with the people trying to make a transaction.
"Who Are The Marketplace Forum Moderators / How Can I Contact Them?"
The moderators for all of the Marketplace Forums are displayed in the top left-hand corner under the logo as shown in this example. In the message forums you can just click on their name to e-mail them (obviously that doesn't work in the example).
Please do not e-mail the website administrator with marketplace questions or requests.
"Can I Include Pictures?"
Absolutely! Pictures are encouraged and if they are not included you will often be flooded with e-mails asking for pictures. The software lets you upload pictures from your computer for the ad. Pictures can be up to 800x600 resolution and 100,000 bytes.
You can also link images from other websites if you wish using the syntax:
In the example above, the tag is recognized by the software that runs the message forums and the image file at the specified URL will be added to the message. Note that this means you must have your pictures hosted on a web-accessible server! Also note that the "http://" part of the URL is REQUIRED for the [img] code.
"Can I Comment On Other People's Ads?"
Replies to ads must be legitimate questions or factual information that is directly relevant to the ad. If you know that somebody is misrepresenting their item, please contact one of the moderators immediately. Example of an acceptable reply: "Is that car up to date on all scheduled maintenance?". Examples of unacceptable reply: "That is an ugly color NSX. Nobody is going to want it so you should drop the price" or "Hey man I see you are in LA too - nice car, e-mail me if you want to get together."
Do not post "chit chatty" messages in the Marketplace forums - they will ALL be deleted without notice. There are other forums for discussing anything NSX related or even Off Topic which you are welcome to use for that purpose. Or try e-mail or a private message.
"How Long Will My Ad Run?"
Ads stay listed until they are deleted. You can re-submit the ad with different text, graphics, etc. if you are not getting a good response to your previous listing. Do not post an ad for the same thing more than once a month.
"How Many People Will See My Ad?"
The NSX Prime Marketplace receives tens of thousands of page views in a typical week. How many of those are people seriously interested in buying or selling whatever your ad is for is impossible for me to say. I do know that several cars and many, many parts have been sold through this listing service. If you successfully buy or sell something listed here I'd love to hear about it!
"How Do I Resolve A Dispute With A Buyer / Seller?"
Make every possible effort to resolve the issue via e-mail and phone. If it becomes clear that you are not going to be able to resolve the dispute, you can post a note about your experience in the Marketplace Discussion forum. That post must contain your real name, location and contact information - anonymous complaints will be deleted.
"How Do I Post An Ad?"
Simply register for the message forums (it is instant and FREE) and then post your ad in the appropriate message forum (NSXs for sale, NSXs Wanted, NSX Parts For Sale, NSX Parts Wanted). If the process is completely confusing, e-mail one of the moderators for the forum you want to post the add in and they will help you.
"How Do I Remove An Ad?"
The preferred method is to simply post a reply to your original ad staying that the car has been sold, you found the parts you were looking for, etc. The moderators will then "close" the message thread indicating to everyone that the ad is no longer active.
If you really want the ad removed, you can also ask the moderator to delete the ad if you like.
If the ad helped you buy/sell your item, please e-mail me to let me know (but send your deletion requests to a moderator, not me!)

I know I am guilty of posting without a price and it was because I didnt read the rules first
If I was forced to read the rules before I posted, I probably would not have made that mistake, especially if I knew my post would be deleted.
