Astromart shouldPosted By Lee Buck |
i only joined last year, but i support a-mart because i think i get benefit from it as a buyer or seller. i choose/renew 6mo support cuz i like my ads in red! :-)
i would discourage an annual subscription because it would turn people away and you would lose a lot of eyeballs -- buyers and sellers, BUT i think it is very reasonable to pay $1 or $2 to post an ad AND $1 to buy something - problem with the buy something charge is there is no way to identify and collect from the buyer. the fact is, we all get a lot more than a $1 in value for any transaction that takes place here.
if you charge to place an ad, it needs to persist a little longer than they currently do - minimum 30 days. (i am not sure what the criteria is that makes them scroll off from view now)
i think herb's abuse ads are amusing (although i don't think he is laughing)
