EDC = Every Day Carry (though we like to switch it up sometimes, too). This is a place to find new gear or sell gear that’s not finding its way into your rotation. From hanks to pens, knives to wallets, EDC is all about what finds its way into your pockets, bags, etc. We’ve all been EDC’ing our whole life and maybe just didn’t know it yet. To see examples of what others are carrying, head over to r/edc!
What its rules say about promotion
REPOSTS & PRICE DROPS
You may not post the same item within 24 hours without a price drop of at least 10% or $25, whichever is less. You may also wait 1 week and repost at whatever price you wish.
CROSSPOSTS & EXTERNAL LINKS PROHIBITED
All sale posts must be original and comply with this subreddit's rules. Crossposting from other subreddits is not allowed. Links to eBay, trading/selling forums, or other external marketplaces are not allowed. However, links to photo albums are permitted.
YOU MUST POSSESS ALL ITEMS YOU ARE SELLING/TRADING.
All items you are posting for sale/trade must be in your possession. If YOU are selling the item, YOU must be the one to communicate with the buyer, ship the item, deal with any potential problems, etc. If posting multiple items at or near the same time, please combine items into one post.
All 12 rules of r/EDCexchange
- BE EXCELLENT
Be excellent to each other. Treat others with respect and kindness. You can be right without being rude. We appreciate when members help others understand and follow the rules. Remember, we were all new once. Welcoming and guiding new members strengthens the community and benefits buyers, sellers, and traders alike. **Negative comments about a user’s pricing or values will not be tolerated and may result in a ban.** If a price doesn’t work for you, move on. - TIMESTAMP REQUIREMENT
You must have at least one photo of your item(s) for a WTS/WTT post. This initial photo must include a piece of paper with your Reddit username and the current date of posting ***handwritten***. This timestamp rule also applies to reposts. Do not include your real name or any other personally identifiable information. **Timestamps required. There are no exceptions to this rule!** - DESCRIPTIONS AND ITEM PHOTOS
Every item must include a letter grade. A detailed description of the item’s condition is also required. We encourage sellers to provide thorough descriptions to avoid disputes! Item photos/videos must reasonably show all sides of an item (with all included tools/features open) and ideally highlight any wear, damage, features, and/or accessories. ***We allow factory-sealed items to be sold/traded. Photos/videos must clearly show the item is still sealed in original packaging.*** - PRICING
All WTS posts should have a price (sale value, SV). All WTT posts should list what you are looking for and an approximate trade value (TV). This applies per item, though bundles are allowed. Prices should include shipping - see the shipping rules section for more info. After a sale/trade is completed, we prefer you keep the price in the post to help others research item values in the future. - SHIPPING
All prices must include shipping. Sender is responsible for the item(s), including all insurance/loss claims, until the item is received by the recipient. If willing to ship internationally, indicate so. If you are located outside the USA, indicate to what countries you are willing to ship. Sellers/traders are expected to ship within 48 hours or let the other party know the timeline up front. We are less strict about stating shipping costs up front for international transactions. - PAYMENT METHODS
A seller is not allowed to *require* 'Friends and Family' Paypal payment. If a buyer is willing to cover the fee, the seller MUST accept Paypal 'Goods and Services'. REMINDER: Paypal Friends and Family, Venmo, Apple Pay, Cash App, etc. offer ***absolutely zero*** buyer protection. Use these payment methods at your own risk. Paypal Goods and Services offers Buyer Protection and a way to file a claim if there is a problem with the transaction. - NO DELETING POSTS
Do not delete your posts. You have a 10-minute grace period to delete your post if you have a title error, otherwise leave all posts up - even after the sale is completed. Please note that the body of posts should remain intact. If you are making edits, you should ~~strikethrough~~ text, or otherwise indicate what was sold/traded/withdrawn. You may withdraw an item by replacing the price with "WITHDRAWN". Please update your post with the appropriate post flair once completed. - REPOSTS & PRICE DROPS
You may not post the same item within 24 hours without a price drop of at least 10% or $25, whichever is less. You may also wait 1 week and repost at whatever price you wish. - CROSSPOSTS & EXTERNAL LINKS PROHIBITED
All sale posts must be original and comply with this subreddit's rules. Crossposting from other subreddits is not allowed. Links to eBay, trading/selling forums, or other external marketplaces are not allowed. However, links to photo albums are permitted. - NO RAFFLES OR AUCTIONS
Raffles aren't allowed. Auctions are not allowed. Every item in your post must indicate a sale value and/or trade value. - YOU MUST POSSESS ALL ITEMS YOU ARE SELLING/TRADING.
All items you are posting for sale/trade must be in your possession. If YOU are selling the item, YOU must be the one to communicate with the buyer, ship the item, deal with any potential problems, etc. If posting multiple items at or near the same time, please combine items into one post. - NO WEAPON-RELATED ITEMS.
Here's the gist of this rule: https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/1o478z2/bst_update_effective_immediately_flashlights_and/ We will flesh out the details as it becomes necessary for this subreddit.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
