Please Vote - Considering Major Changes for Classifeds

[JHW]

I would definitely rather have ads than have a subscription-based pricing model. I feel a lot of the people that post unique and somewhat rare items for sale would not be willing to pay as they post so infrequently. I would not mind paying myself since I post more than others. Maybe we should restrict the number of posts you can have running and make it where you have to pay to post say more than 3 at one time. That would supply additional revenue and not take away from the classified section as much. Just my two cents.

I’d pay the $1 for a month to post an ad when I’m trying to sell something. Sounds reasonable to me. To be honest, I’d probably just look into becoming a supporter. I never looked into how or how much is required. I just look at the ads and have sold a few (5-6) over the years. I’ve never really got into participating in the forum community stuff. And, I’m an original member here from when it changed to ODT.

10.00?

For 12 months. You could mail $1 every month if you wanted to I guess. Is the site that worthless?

Its cheap....$12/yr or $1 to post ads for a month? That aint squat IMO.

I was involved in the early stages of a bar with live music every night. (i know....no comparison) but we decided to charge a $5 cover to “keep the riff-raff out” . It worked.

I think we get enough CL types as it is. Just my .02

Are you trying to turn a profit or really just stay afloat? None of my business but I’m sure at one time this site brought in a nice little cash flow for you. I’m not afraid to admit that i typically shy away from anything that i have to “pay to play”, cheap is an understatement when describing myself.

You’ve built something great here OS but is the sponsor money and supporter fees not enough to keep this place running? I also know it’s not cheap to run a site with this much traffic but at the same time I have no clue.

Lol...no I'm tired and dint think a yr ahead...I hope if I post something it wouldn't take a yr to get shed of it..lol

if you have enough money to buy, sell and trade here, a dollar a month or $10 a year is nothing. The Problem with GON is dealers are pushing the average trader off the front pages so quickly nothing get seen. Please keep dealer threads separate.

I'm just trying to make a living is probably the best way to say it. I've never tried to get rich off the site but I do like not having to go work anywhere else. I drive a 2004 GMC Sierra with 200,000 miles on it and I have a boat I got from a salvage auction. Those are my assets but everyone thinks I'm a millionaire.

I think if you compare our site to most other sites you will find far less ads here. I've always valued the experience of using the site over the money.

Would I still have to pay even though I bought the supporter badge, But asked for it not to be seen on my page?
