Reposted in ASTROMART SUGGESTIONS FORUM: Its probably more appropriate over there.

I have to say, I was a bit surprised to see a phone company advertisement in Astromart. I truly felt Astromart sold out. The users were told for so long to only post astro related items, then they were kind enough to create a non-astro item space. Now.. we have to see non-astro spamvertisements within the astro equipment section.

Yes, I do agree Astromart has the right to raise funds to support itself. I myself plan to become a first time supporter soon, however selling phone ads within the astro equipment space is a bit well.. off topic?

Also, I have to say one thing... if Connect America can advertise sub-cent pricing. Can I sell my astro equipment at sub-cent pricing as well? Is our wonderfully modern electronic banking system capable of withdrawing sub-cent amounts from my account?

Ok, anyone need a used lens cleaning tissue for $0.03452 a sheet ? Please.. I only take exact change. Get real people. $0.039 cents a minute sounds as ridiculous as the stupid pricing at gas stations. $1.43&9/10. Ok, please explain to me where the 9/10 of a cent comes from? Is there some new millipenny denomination in my pocket that I don't know about?

Gary,
Connect America is my company. The pricing in our industry has always been on the tenths decimal. In large accounts we round the customer bill out to six digits, would you like that instead? ;-]
