Some contribute by serving as bad examples.



Tough call. Like to see regulars get bargains. Hate to see unknowns profit from the site.

Could do something like a minimum number (significant number of real posts , like 50 ) to sell in the classified forum or they can buy in before that minimum number for X number of dolllars to Site.

I don't know , its a complicated issue.

Charge everyone 2% of the total sale, and put it towards the upkeep of the site

While I have responded to requests for items to buy ... I have not been able to sell anything on site ... I guess my stuff hasn't been so popular ... ... requiring a certain number of posts is not such a big problem, or overbearing ... I also agree a percentage of each sale is not unreasonable to request for the site.

But ... be cautious about implementing rules that are too strict ... life always has a way of catching up to us at times unexpectedly so that we may not be able to be active on the site as much as we'd like ... and for that, we get penalized? Just something to consider.

That's my three cents ...
