Click here to view more info about the rules. Remember, it is your responsibility to know the rules and abide by them.

Be excellent to each other. More information about this rule is available in the Rules Wiki.
Title formatting. Titles must use the following syntax: [WTS] (Brand) (Model) (Details). Acceptable tags are [WTS], [WTT], and [WTS/WTT]. Noncompliant posts will be removed automatically. Circumventing this format will result in a 7-day ban. More info.
Timestamp. Posts must include a timestamp with your username and the date handwritten on paper and placed under the flashlight. The timestamp date must be within two weeks of the date of your post. Linking your timestamp separately is required. More info.
Price and/or trade value required. Price and/or trade value must be posted on r/flashlight_swap. It is recommended to do so in the comments, as post titles cannot be edited. More info.
Use “Sold” flair. Write [SOLD] in the comments after your flashlight has sold. ~~Flair will be changed automatically.~~ More info. (in progress)
Reposts are allowed after 7 days. No early reposts for any reason, including price drops. If you list multiple flashlights at once, you may not repost the others early after one sells. We recommend listing flashlights separately. Violation of this rule may result in a 7-day ban. More info.
Transaction feedback. Feedback can be left on the originating sales post via the flair bot. Here's how. Only the buyer and seller may leave feedback. For negative or neutral feedback, you may use r/WatchExchangeFeedback. More info. (in progress)
No outside sales links, no referral links, and no raffles. You may reference completed eBay listings when discussing price. Referral links of any kind will result in a minimum 7 day ban. Do not link to, discuss, suggest, or otherwise mention raffles. More info.
Price-related comments. Sellers have the right to ask any price. Users who choose to comment on price, be it high, low, or fair, must provide specific examples including links. More info.
No sales of fake or replica flashlights. Homage flashlights are allowed. If you believe a flashlight is fake, include proof when commenting. Allegations without evidence may result in a ban. More info.
Giveaways by approval. Please message the moderation team for approval to post a giveaway with the exact text you will use for the giveaway. Giveaway posts require manual approval. More info.
Requirements for participation. Your account must have positive karma and be at least 30 days old to post. More info.

Tip:

Make the best picture of your flashlight the leading image in your post. Here's how.
Low-effort posts are often removed with no mod comment. If you tried, your post may still get removed but with an explanation.
Have your comment with flashlight info ready to post as a top-level comment before you actually submit the post. There is no grace period for posting so your post can be removed right after you post it if all the requirements aren't met.
If you make a mistake posting, do not delete and repost. Message the mods first or you risk having your post removed and having to wait 7 days to repost.
