Gold Memberships

[nakneker]

I was going to donate a 100.00 to the forum a month ago or so but thought I would offer to pay half, 25.00 of 50.00, of four gold memberships to any forum member who was interested. The idea was to turn my 100.00 into 200.00. So I listed the offer in the classfieds and in a very short time I had four forum members who wanted to do it. It actually turned into six new memberships because two people messaged me late and I thought why not, we can do two more too. Some I sent 25.00 via PayPal and they upgraded instantly, I sent a personal check to three of them and trusted they would do what we agreed to do.

So today I went back and checked each forum member that participated to see if they honored the deal. I’m happy to report each and every one of them upgraded and paid their half to get their gold membership. They were solid. I understand being cautious against a scam or a scammer but I also like to think people in general can be trusted. I thought I would share the results, I was happy that’s the way it went down. Made me feel good.

You are truly justified in enjoying that warm feeling that do-gooders get when they do good. Thank you. I have seen this sort of thing escalate. jd

I’m glad you took advantage of the offer, enjoy!

 

[nakneker]

Thanks guys. The point of the post was to highlight that people are good generally speaking, it’s nice to feel confident in that. Especially on this forum.

Because I saw your offer I also made the same offer for four people,and ended up honoring five, got thank you’s from all five with their new Gold Member tag on their name . It works and from me , A great idea nakneker !!!
That makes eleven new Gold Members who weren’t even members before !!! That over complaining about the “cheap SOB’s “ may work better!

Thanks again from me too! Not sure I would have upgraded without you! It's already paid off with a handful of classified sales! Good people around here!
