Guess you can say I am cheap. I don't shop classifieds on Savageshooters or sell there because they have the pay to play fee. I don't mind advertisements if they keep the doors open.

I'm actually surprised at the amount of folks here that are bent sideways about a tiny contribution to a website that we all enjoy. Nothing is free, and if the ad revenue isn't enough to keep ODT going, then why is it a big deal to pay? That is a genuine question by the way...…..
I spend (wife says waste) enough time here, to consider it worth the few bucks to continue the use. I became a supporter today, just because of this thread. I never really thought about how much I used this site, nor did I stop to consider that nothing is autonomous and runs without someone's time/effort/work being invested. I get paid for my time at work, and figure it's fair for another man to ask the same.
 
I've got a snapper raffle I wants to sail on here. I wuz plannin' on axing $1,949.00 since it's capable of shooting it's own hole out but damn! A whole dollar?!?!? That throws my whole profit margin scheme out of whack!
 
The dollar wouldn't be so bad if everyone had to use "common sense" pricing. Got a couple of my "points" because of price stupidity. If you over price weapons as I've seen, the only thing I see in that, is folks paying a premium for guns they probably shouldn't have. Trust this, It only takes 1 time to answer your front door and a couple ATF agents standing there wanting to talk to you about guns.

Not being a jerk when I ask this, but what are you trying to say? I dont understand.
 
I propose a contributor level system with attendant privileges:

1. $1 a month and you can post 5 classifieds per month
2. $5 a month and you can post 5 classifieds and make one snarky pricing comment per month
3. $15 a month gets you 10 classifieds and 2 snarky comments in the classifieds per month
4. $25 a month gets unlimited classifieds and 10 snarky comments in the classifieds per month
5. $50 per month gets unlimited classifieds and unlimited snarky comments on any Glock priced unreasonably
6. $100 a month and you randomly get to ban people for a day
7. $500 a month and you get complete immunity to say whatever you want for one month

Trying to be helpful.......seriously.....calm down Francis....it's just a buck.

For $1000 a month you can tell everyone that their stuff is all over priced and then post links to where you can find it cheaper. :D

The folks that think their used firearm is worth NEW "RETAIL" prices. I've been lucky because I don't care for Glocks, so I haven't been subject to the pricing idiotic crap. I just believe in fair pricing and honest folks. ONLY way I'll pay retail, is if it's new, I want it, and don't mind filling out a 4473.
