There were some war veterans taking up money for the local Veteran's wall.
I gave them three dollars as I drove by, so I'm spent down for the month.
 
Charge for posting ads. Sure you’d lose some people. But it would be worth it. And I read almost all of the posts in this thread, I agree with all of the guys on making the mods chill out a bit with “warnings” and not letting us speak freely. If someone posts a factory G19 with no upgrades for $750 we should be allowed to do a little bashing.
 
Also, make “giveaway day” 100% for supporters only. Why would you give anything to people that have never supported the site. I moved to Fort Bragg, NC last year so I really don’t do any/ much business here. But I don’t mind supporting because I’ve done so many deals in the past and have met some awesome people here

If someone pays to post a $750 G19 then everyone should just sit on their hands or click on by. I've never understood this need to "price check" another man's item in his own post .
 
If a nightclub charges a five dollar cover to come in and listen to the band, and you not only pay that cover charge but you buy 2 drinks for a total of $16 more,

(so now you've invested $21 for a night of fun here at the club)

do you think you're entitled to act like an asshole and try to start a fight with somebody? Shouldn't your stupid ass be thrown out on the sidewalk without a refund? Of course! Duh.

Your $21 investment in the place ONLY buys you a right to enjoy the club and participate in the events there IF you follow certain conditions. One of those conditions is to behave yourself and not be a jerk to other people.
 
I've been on this site for a while now. I've bought, sold, traded, met folks and occasionally commented on things. I choose to be a supporter because it is a place I like to be. My purchases, sales and trades have been to supporters and non supporters.
I hope what changes you need don't drive the non supporters out so I'd prefer to see you coax non supporters to join rather than force them to pay.
 
If you're already a supporter....why pay more? For the freebie cheapest. Sure let them pay monthly per list or whatever.

But if you're already a supporter....then we shouldn't pay. If you make supporters pay...then refund all pur supporter funds
