AstroMart is not for sale so if I put a $100,000 or $500,000 price on it or say not for sale it is the same thing. Perhaps a bad choice of words.
Dealers and OEMs are required to SPONSOR and they get ridiculously low prices to have access to AstroMart as compared to anywhere they get this amount of exposure for the prices paid - PERIOD
We are making a new category for Dealers and OEMs that do not have web sites. It will cost less and has been asked for by people that cannot access AstroMart because they do not fit neatly into the present Dealer and OEM categories.
Some present AstroMart SPONSORS will actually get reductions in their costs.
The rub is in deciding who is on AstroMart just to flip equipment. Someone has to decide and counting ads "ALONE" doesn't work. Some people only get 1-3 ads placed before it is obvious and others post several hundred.
I will make that decision and I may choose to do that alone or after getting advice from others. Bottom line is this:
AstroMart is the private property of Herb and Paula York.
AstroMart is not free to operate or maintain. Income from SPONSORS and SUPPORTER and ATWB provides the income that provides AstroMart. I donate my time for zero cost.
AstroMart has not now or will it anytime soon repay the investment required to get it up and running but IT IS NOW PAYING IT'S OWN WAY which is a good thing because it was taking HUGE amounts of cash to get to this position.
It is not my responsibility to provide a few "flippers" a free place to conduct their business and it is to the detriment to AstroMart. Whether these people actually produce a taxable income or do it at a loss is really between them and their government (IRS) not them and AstroMart. There are TOS of AstroMart that everyone that has an account agreed to and we kept record of that. You may want to review them.
I'm in the beginning stages of a move so my time to go tit for tat on this subject is zero.
Thank you
Herb
