To keep out the "users" and riff raff....

I think if someone joins to sell something there should be a $20 fee....members with
either 300 posts or 1 year no charge...NO EBAY LINKS PERIOD

Why don't we just have yearly dues like the AMA, et cetera. I'd be willing to pay $50/year or what have you. I don't get to visit here as much as I'd like to lately, but I love this site.
 
I agree with no ebay links! I hate that... But 300 post and a year? So with my 230 post and just under a year member I would not be able to sell anything? I think that is a bit much. I think if you have a 100 non postwhore posts should be fine. That shows you are not just jumping on to just to sell something. I don't see somone posting 100 times to make a sale.
As for $50 a year... you would loose what makes this site great! THE PEOPLE. Is it worth $50 a year? I say yes it would. but getting people to cough up the money would be about impossible. People would just stop comming here. When that happens the paying members will start to disappear also.

I think the site should stay the same as it is now, but add a members only area. This is where all the "cool" stuff happens.
Non members start to hear about post or pictures ect.. happening in the members area and want to be involved and donate. No one want's to be left out.

Just a thought..

Yah. I posted that before I ran across Doug's thread about the little joke.

In any case, I wouldn't mind paying dues, but since the board's not "shutting down" I'll just keep making donations.

At 3 posts a day, it's less than 5 weeks for 100 posts.

Just donate $20 and your all set

I'm fine with it...but look at who is a supporting member now selling things, Most are not. you have to agree most of them will never donate so that means they will not be able to sell. If they don't sell you can't buy. So donating members are the ones that get hurt. Everyone loves the for sale section. Do you want to lose the items that are put up for sale because someone did not want to pay?
I agree with the donation...you just have to watch how you get it. If people have to pay to sell, People who are looking to buy are going to be the ones that get the short end if the stick.

If someone wants to sell a bike or a business wants to sell goods here....$20 is peanuts.

For the little stuff...you can find it here usually for the cost of shipping

Lots of idea's and opinions...

Maybe I'll just make it like this:

Want to sell yer bike here,buy me a case of beer.
