Only letting charter members post classified ads is pathetic and elitist.
Shame on you.

Then my question for you is why are you bothering adding your opinions about becoming a Charter Member if your not selling anything ? Being a Charter Member doesn't add to credence to anything or any answer you post . I think your way off base about saying that " If you don't support TreasureNet , why should you be able to place free advertisements ? " Cause I bet there are more non-charter members than there are Charter . And these non-Charter members support TreasureNet or then this would be a "private forum" you have to pay to belong too . Being a Charter Member doesn't make you "bullet proof" nor does it guarantee your honesty in any way . If it did it would be clearly posted that Charter Members advice it 100% correct and there sales are 100% trusted and guaranteed . All it does is give you and others the right to post your items for sale , even if you don't sell anything you have a privilege by being a Charter Member other non-Charter Members don't .Bob, If you don't help support Tnet, why should you be able to place free advertisements? I've been a charter member for a long time and never placed an ad. Actually I never sell anything.
Yup, that's one of many rules that are dictated to us, & make us just feel like stupid slaves. I'm probably leaving this forum forever. The largest detecting forum on the internet will let you post all the ads you want. I can't tell you their name, but do a search for metal detecting forum. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who senses something is wrong. Post several hundred helpful posts & then be treated like you are a big problem, & deserve no rights or privileges. What some fail to realize is that without the forum members bragging up a new detector to stimulate sales, the dealers might fail & then the site goes out of business with no dealer ads. Best wishes Robert! George (MN)

lol exactly what terry said no one is making u come to this site its ur free will being a charter member has its perks and its also a way to say thanks by far this is the best md site out there and its only gonna get bigger and better everydayDon't let the screen door hit you on the backside on your way out.
Sorry Frankn, appreciate the effort but the ability to sell is a feature of charter membership, its not going to change.
Example, you subscribe to a newspaper, you pay for it to read it every day of your subscription, yet if you want to place an ad to sell an article your still required to pay to run the ad and they are heavily supported by ad sales same for magazines.
People can always sell on Craig's list, but your not going to reach the market you do selling here ..
Someone wants to sell, they could just tack on $20 to the sell price...

Well, I see both sides of this and have a suggestion. Since TH said it keeps the sales honest, may I suggest letting all members that have been in good standing for over a year be allowed to sell here. Letting all members sell, with this stipulation, would increase traffic on sales.
I would tend to believe that advertisers foot the bill. If not set an ad price of maybe $5 per ad under the above restriction. Just a thought, Frank...

Be thankfull u dont have to pay everytime u have a question on something or have to pay a percentage when u do wanna sell somethin, a Lady came into my garage and asked What was wrong with hete car it made a noise I told her of course y not mayb ill get the repair but she told me she went online theres a Forum & to just ask a simple question they want $10-20 pending on question rediculus in my opinión I beleive in karma goes around comes around
Well, the way I look at it is I am one of the ones that answers rather than asks questions and I have only sold some old treasure mags here for my cost to help another TH. I have been hunting all over the US since the 70's and I am 75 so I want to spread my knowledge around in the short time that I have left. Frank...

All true TH, but the newspapers are dying because the AD money is based on circulation and that is what pays the bills. Compare the charter income and Ad income and you will see what I mean. Frank... it's just Business 101, my minor.
