The principle is this has never been a pay to play site. I think we had this agreement in the beginning. You let me sign on, become a member, and I in turn agreed to abide by the rules. It was a mutually beneficial thing for both of us. You got another member added and I got to view the for sale/trade page and deal away. Paying to play wasn't a part of the deal. It has become necessary for the sites survival to change that. I get it, it's just not for me. It's not what I agreed to.
As far as selling, I have usually listed guns and ammo for sale here to avoid the hassle of shipping, but not always. When I list parts/accessories I almost always list them elsewhere. The truth is they sell quicker and with much less hassle on other sites that are more firearm type specific than the ODT. I usually purchase accessories from those sights too mainly because I find it much easier to purchase and have items shipped direct to my door than drive to purchase parts that can be easily shipped. I would say the experience/satisfaction is pretty equal between the ODT and other sites and I choose the site based on what I am selling/looking for.
