There are several sellers on here that are here to make money and nothing else. Yes i sell on here but i also contribute with information and help be it technical, ST based or seat belt based. Some of the sellers do not contribute in any way. Asking them for 70 bucks a year is not going to stop them. If you don't contribute but only sell then it shouldn't be allowed. My opinion....

I do that and it does have a purpose. I post the item as “pending” so I don’t get emails or pm’s telling me “I’ll take it” and claiming later they were first to respond. I also post “sold” to show someone actually paid for the item and is no longer available. Yes, people will still ask if they can be second, third and up to forth in line if they think they have a chance.
My pet peeve is $5 price drops when the item is $500 or someone bumping a buddies item with “GLWS”.
If you go through all my for sale ads, they all sell pretty quickly. I never “bump” without a good price drop or waste people’s time.
How much does a member have to contribute before they can sell an item here?
and yes, I’m a paying member.
I wonder why some post items for sale and then never answer a PM or email to complete the sale?

I am relieved to see I am not the only one... midly annoyed by users (I can't call them members) who are here only for the money, ethics and forum camaraderie be damned.
While I’m too somewhat annoyed by those who are only here for financial gain, they do provide a service. After looking for over a year for the rare 69s clutch, I was able to finally secure one from a “dealer only” poster.
1969 911S
1969 Datsun 2000...worth less, but more valuable
Management has determined that I'm a vendor they can do without.. and I'm not allowed to post my parts here. So, posting technically and generally is not something I'm willing to do without other access. I was here for literally decades and the last 10 years I was posting along with providing needed, previously unavailable parts, a hobby business. No good deed goes unpunished....
Good luck to all, I'll be posting on other forums and you can find me in my signature below.
Thanks,
Eric
