I struggled to sell 60 calendars in a month to raise the funds to keep the forum going.
There's a message there.
Actually I think there is a really strong message there.
How much grumbling do you think there would be if you did what they do over on Basschat? £7 an ad, or £20 for unlimited ads per year?
They get just as many ads per day over there as well.....
I'm finding the classifieds increasingly difficult to sell things, there are people who will go after an absolute bargain as a punt but it's rare to find a good old match of someone who actually what's said item and is willing to pay a realistic price for it. There simply isn't the footfall of e-bay and the like - unfortunately any charge I fear would just tank the classifieds further.
I do still appreciate it being there though..........!
Yep, if priced sensibly.
Why not something like a yearly fee to the classifieds? Maybe when you join you can use it for 90 days for free, then to have access you pay something like £5 a year. That way you get to use it and see what it's like for selling stuff, then you can choose to have access for a nominal fee.
I dunno. Whatever is done it's gonna be a sore subject with some....
It will be a sore subject, yes, but equally I guess it's a sore subject for the admins and it's their resource after all...
I'd certainly take up such a membership.
Knowing my luck I'll pay the fee and 'inexplicably' be happy with my board and never buy anything again.
And I suspect the cost is more that people realise - remember, fees go up as traffic increases..
The bit people forget about is the time and effort that goes in to keep it running which would cost a hell of a lot if it were charged for which the admin team give freely at the moment..
Ive had stuff on Gumtree and on here simultaneously with Gumtree at a higher price and have hoped it would sell on here first because of that very reason. I'd pay for that clubby feel any day of the week
