== Buy or Sell Channel ==

The ''#buy-or-sell'' channel is a Member only channel that allows EVE University members to advertise items for sale and items for purchase.

In order to prevent conversation on individual offers burying other offers in channel chat, the channel is locked to threads-only. See the instructions below for how to view or post threads.

=== Finding Offer Threads ===

To view buy or sell offers, open the threads window in the Buy or Sell channel -

On the Discord Desktop app:

On the Discord Mobile app:

[[File:Finding-Threads-Mobile.png|300px|Click the indicated Threads button to open the list of threads in the channel]]

The offers available will be shown in the threads window. To view a thread, click into it. Messages can then be sent inside the threads to ask questions, provide offers, and more.

=== Posting New Offers ===

* To create a new offer, first open the threads window as shown above.

* Next, click the create new thread button -

On the Discord Desktop app:

[[File:Create-Thread.png|400px|Click the indicated Threads button to create a new thread]]

On the Discord Mobile app:

[[File:Create-Thread-Mobile.png|400px|Click the indicated Threads button to create a new thread]]

* Finally, fill out the thread information as shown below:

1) Fill in a descriptive thread title that reflects your offer - this is the information that will be visible in the threads window for prospective shoppers. Something along the lines of ''WTS - {Items Here} - {Price Here}'' is recommended.

2) Leave the Private Thread option off - private threads are not visible to members not explicitly added to them. Turning this on will limit your shopping audience!

3) Enter an initial message. This can be an appraisal link for example, or further information (e.g. if your thread title is that a collection of goods is for sale, you can post the collection's contents here!). Further messages can be posted after the initial thread creation, but a starting message must be included.

Once the information above is entered, press enter or click the post message button to start the thread!
