I belong to several forums that I like. Each 1 of them cater to different things I like. I know some people might not like upgrading your membership if you want to sell some items or want to donate something once a year. I am not here complaining about who does and does not. It is none of my business. We are very fortunate to have small fees to do what we want to do for a year. So this post leads me to this. I do a lot on Snipers Hide and have a few things posted for sale. I was going to post something up for sale today and found out I could not as new changes are in affect if you want to use the classified section to sell something.You now have to be a supporter and pay 19.95 monthly. I get a lot from the place and have been a member for many years. For me, 240.00 a year I believe will be the end of my days using the classifieds section. I think that is a bit steep.
WOW......big changes at Sniper's Hide

ZING!! Right over my head. I stand corrected. Sounds like SH is the place to stay away from?
There’s some good information over there, especially in the reloading section and some of the older threads. Like a lot of forums there are a lot of egos on display and a bunch of bickering in many of the threads. I take what I can from it, find a little comedy in some of it, and then come back over here.

When did this change take place? Sold something the other day and did not pay 20 a month. May be a one time membership fee of 20.?

Nope, I have some stuff listed right before the change accured. Tried to list something about 2 hours ago and could not. Did a little searching and found a recent thread about some others wondering what was going on also. You have to be a supporter member now. I found the place where to be a supporter member and it said 19.95 monthly to be a member.

Ok. I have been a paid member for years, which was a one time fee. May be I’m grandfathered? If that’s the case, I would not sell there anymore. Send a moderator a message, they are good to respond.
I just went back and read what Frank said. Their is no grand fathering in no matter how long you have been their. 19.95 monthly and if you want to be a commercial seller it is 200.00 a month. Their will be a lot of people dropping off the forum. You know I would do a 1 time fee a year but not 240.00 and not have to have it taken out monthly. My friend's we call that times are changing.

Then I can firmly say I’m not gonna continue there. Sad. Sorry for questioning it, just hard to believe.
I guess Frank isn't making enough off of his precision classes. I like his podcasts and listen to them occasionally. He's done a lot for the community as a whole. However, I can't find the value in $240 @ $20/mo for the occasional listing of some items.
Also to add, the few times I've posted a WTB for something, folks have stepped up and offered for what I thought was a more than fair fee. This not only happens here but at some other sites as well.

If I’m understanding the new policy correctly, it’s nuts. Many of us that check in frequently to look for deals or find items not found on LGS shelves will drop by far less often as the for sale/trade market dries up.
I only occasionally post for sale items, but $20 a month for the privilege will send sellers elsewhere - likely here.
Just doesn’t make sense to me.

I saw something Frank said quite a while back that there were changes coming and people might not like them. The post I read, this may have been last yr, he seemed to frame it as a way of getting the scammers out of the classifieds. I know they have as many problems, as any interwebs BB with a for sale section.
