    Income for site upkeep Idea

    I sold the wifes Disco today to another forum member without "Me" advertising it anywhere else.

    Dave, why not have a $10 charge on listing the vehicles on here that can go towards the upkeep of the website?

    I'm gonna donate $10 for the service but it would be good if other members followed suit once their vehicle sells.

    Nice one Dawg,,

    It would be nice to think that anyone that gets a great deal, or is substantially helped by the sites resources (members or vendors) would kick the tin,,

    Top idea. Seems fair to me!

    Good idea.

    I like the idea of a freebies section with a donation to the forum from the receiver.

    Cheers

    I think it is a good idea but I think a donation rather then be charged for the service. So it comes down to the user deciding on if to donate or not.

    I would of thought most of us would be happy to give without any quarms anyway.

    Sounds very fair...

    We could even expand if a little further.. on sale of the vehicle a small donation doesn't sound unreasonable to me - say $25 or $50..

    After all as a percentage of any vehicle sale that's bugger all..

    Maybe even just through a voluntary honor system - I think most people here recognize what a fantastic job Inc does running the site.

    Just need to wrangle the extra $$ out of the buyer
