Only active and retired employees of Brookhaven National Laboratory, on-site employees of Brookhaven Science Associates, and the U.S. Department of Energy, and permanent employees of service organizations on site may place classified advertisements with The Bulletin.
Fill out each form completely, checking the appropriate boxes and providing all the information requested.
On the web, employees may enter several advertisements in any or all categories. Space permitting, the advertisements on the web on Tuesday morning are reproduced in the paper Bulletin issued on the following Friday. For the printed Bulletin, each employee is limited to one advertisement in each category per week, unless there is extra room for the other ads. If an employee has two or more ads in one category, the editor will take the first in the list for the printed version.
Each employee may have more than one advertisement listed in the “Services” category at any given time.
The Bulletin reserves the right to edit or reject any classified advertisement that is not up to standards or deemed suitable.

"Sales and Notices" shall constitute all ads submitted and printed under the following headings in The Bulletin: Motor Vehicles & Supplies, Boats & Marine Supplies, Furnishings & Appliances, Tools, House & Garden, Sports, Hobbies & Pets, Audio, Video & Computers, Miscellaneous, Yard & Garage Sales, Lost & Found, Free, Community Involvement, Car Pools, Wanted, Farewell Gatherings, Happenings, and In Appreciation.
Items offered for sale or mentioned within notices must be owned by the employee who is advertising them or by members of their immediate family living within the same household.
Concert, opera, theater, and other tickets offered for sale must be advertised at the tickets’ face value or less, but not more.
Farewell gatherings must be scheduled for after working hours; these announcements may run a maximum of two times.
In filling out the Sales & Notices form, use no more than 20 words maximum for an advertisement.
By submitting an ad for a firearm, the submitter agrees that the transaction of the firearm will not occur on the Laboratory site, and that the transaction will meet the requirements of all local, state, and federal laws regulating such transactions.
In the Community Involvement category, employees, retirees, and visiting facility-users may advertise community, charity, and club events and sales in which they are involved. Any proceeds from these sales must go to that nonprofit entity.

"Real Estate" shall constitute all ads submitted and printed under the following headings in The Bulletin:
- For Sale
- For Rent
Use the Real Estate form to advertise the sale or rent of property, including houses, apartments, cooperatives, rooms, and land.
Real estate for sale or rent must be owned by the employee who is advertising it and must be offered for sale or rent by that employee without the assistance of a real-estate agent.
Employees listing real estate can do so only by agreeing that their real estate is available without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
If employees must sublet property that they do not own, but for which they have a lease that obliges them for the remainder of the rent, then, to advertise that property for rent, the employees must obtain the landlords’ signatures on the Supplemental Real Estate form, agreeing that the property is available without regard to ace, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
In filling out the Real Estate form, use no more than 30 words maximum for the advertisement.

Services are neither screened nor recommended by the Bulletin.
Use the Services form to advertise that you or members of your immediate family living within the same household are willing and qualified to perform work for others.
Services must be performed by the employees who are advertising them or members of their immediate family living within the same household.
No advertisement for services that are offered in association with regular businesses or commercial enterprises will be accepted.
In filling out the Services forms, use no more than 20 words maximum for the advertisement.

The deadline for submission of completed "Sales & Notices" and "Real Estate" forms is noon on Friday, one week prior to the Friday that you wish the ad to appear in print.
"Sales & Notices" and "Real Estate" advertisements are published every Friday in The Bulletin, space permitting.
There is no deadline for submissions of completed "Services" forms as service advertisements are available on the Bulletin's web site and are no longer printed in the Bulletin at regular intervals.
Each advertisement is run only once and must be resubmitted by the employee to be repeated.
Advertisements submitted on time but withheld from publication due to lack of space do not have to be resubmitted, as they will be published automatically the following week.
