Auction Board Rules -- Sellers, Lookers, Bidders: Read this First.

[IowaEagle]

Only AMC Eagles and parts for them.  If a part will work on an Eagle that is OK, for example  4.0 engines, A727 transmissions, NP229 transfer cases, etc..

Items not fitting into these categories will be deleted.  Any off topic replies will be deleted.  Any comments of a derisive nature will be deleted.  Given the potential for problems this board will be watched closely.  As with our other for sale boards all transactions are between the seller and buyer.  The AMC Eagle Nest is only providing a venue to sell products to other members.  Any and all liability is borne by the seller and buyer.  If disputes arise the Seller and/or Buyer need to attempt to work it out in a private manner.  If no resolution can be had then the Seller and/or Buyer may contact, via a PM an Eagle Nest administrator.  If it is determined that a Seller or Buyer acted knowingly and willfully in bad faith, then their member account at the AMC Eagle Nest may be deleted.
