Mod Note:
Updated Rules / Info (One Added)
1. Please stop cross-posting to garage sale chat. Either you're posting new items or items you've created for sale (here), or you're posting used items (there). Duplicate posts will be removed from the incorrect chat. Repeat offenders will be creatively disciplined, unless they enjoy it too much.
Garage Sale Chat:
https://t.me/joinchat/Lo0ziE-zFCCUBuCixz5pjQThe goal is keep this chat room a little more local vendor and kink focused.
2. No negative critiquing of people's work. That's just rude and not welcome here. If you have a genuine safety concern about an issue, see a mod. They're all extremely knowledgeable in the areas of material safety of kink implements.
3. Vendors: don't be tacky. If someone asks about a product you make, yes, absolutely feel free to mention your work and display photos. Do not undercut other vendors or attempt to bid in the chat.
4. Vendors: please try to limit your item postings to no more than one time per day per item. Multiple postings won't necessarily reach more people more effectively, and can often have the effect of discouraging buyers who may become annoyed by repeated posts.
5. We don't limit what people vend in here as long as they are making-ish it - though we do ask that no one post photos of minors, due to the nature of the chat.
6. If you don't see what you're looking for in the photos from this chat or the vendor list in the chat pins, feel free to ask. This is a friendly bunch and most people have a recommendation of a favorite vendor, even if they aren't local, for everything from floggers to latex to corsets.
7. Vendors: be respectful of one another. Don't interfere or attempt to interfere with sales another vendor is making. We all work hard on our crafts and we also have to be a community at the end of the day. The more respectful we are to one another, the easier it is to get along regardless of our differences.
ETA: Being respectful of one another includes one another's designs and ideas. Don't be a copycat. It's shitty, and you will stop getting invites to vend at events, as well as be removed from this space so you have less access to things you can copy.
8. We welcome shoppers to post reviews or photos of recent purchases from locals or even photos of what those purchases did - those are absolutely welcome here.
9. Photos / products depicted need to adhere to community-held standards of informed consent. Please do not post photos of items depicting or endorsing non-consensual violence. All photos subjects must have consented to both the photography and to the nature of the post in this chat.
10. Bullies will not be tolerated.
11. Please try to keep extraneous chatter to a minimum. For a listing of chats made by and for the Houston Kink Community, visit this link.
https://t.me/joinchat/VE2L0J1NXJYvcudT12. Please keep in mind that anything you purchase from a vendor here is done so at your own risk. The mods do not represent the vendors, nor do we vet their items for construction safety, safety for impact, or safety for insertion. If you have questions about whether or not a material is safe for impact, insertion, etc., please feel free to ask general questions, as there are a lot of collective years of knowledge and experience present in this space.
