Hi all. I am pretty new to this site. I am very interested in viewing the classifieds. Is there a certain requirment to be able to view this section or something? Nothing comes up when I go there although it says several people are viewing. Is this a post count restriction of some sort?
You need to be a paid member.
How much does that cost and who do I pay?
At the top of this page there is a slot that says "membership info" Try that. And it is $12/yr

$12 a year, hit the membership info button towards the top of the page below the SavageShooters logo.
Some people are such great contributors they are "honorary" members. Only the lucky ones though.Quote:

Why do I have to pay this site owner to buy something from someone else? Why can't the site owner collect fees from the sellers?
You don't.Quote:

No thanks...complicated and messy, Besides, that'd get passed through to buyers.Quote:

One thing to consider is that it takes a lot of time to run a forum. Server, software, support etc.. ain't free either.
Also one thing to consider is that the $12.00 will and does help deter scammers.

I belong to several forums and this is the ONLY one that charges to buy from a member ad. EVERY other forum I belong to charges the seller when they make a sale. Classified ads are the standard way of getting the money to keep a website open!
I did not mean to start something with this thread. I simply wanted to know how to view the classified section. $12 dollars isn't much and I happily paid it. If you don't like it its very simple, move on to a different forum. Thanks to everyone that helped me out.
They aren't charging to buy, they are charging to have access. Yeah, semantics. I agree with scope eye, the $12 is worth it to cut down on spammers/scammers.Quote:

I plan on getting my paid membership this Friday/Payday(i budget paycheck to paycheck, im poor). But the way i look at it, i plan on doing this to help this great forum and keep it going, not for the classifieds... although, it will now be a plus for joining :)Quote:
