There's nothing wrong with wanting a bargain but some people just take the piss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weeman Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 I get them up on there then! I remember the old forum went sideways cause he wanted to charge people didnt it? Its not the fact of the £2 I dont mind paying it but! I thought a forum was a free place for like minded individuals to interact and share knowledge and parts not a money earner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The club needs to keep running some how i suppose and dont think theres enough events through out the year to pay for the club to keep going. And tbh TGTT might be free but who has the most flow of traffic? and even when ive put items up for sale on TGTT it hardly ever gets approved even though i have described the item the best i can Another thing you could do is put your ebay link in here http://www.ukstarletowners.com/forum/8-ebay-bidjdm-yahoo-auction-finds/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 If you sell it all on ebay you'll get pumped in fees etc. Pay 2 quid on here and sell the lot to forum members who'll put it to good use.The 2 quid charge is to keep the club running, no one person is keeping your money lol, it all goes back into the club so we can have great stands at Japfest etc.Some forums charge 20 odd quid just to sign up haha.

Its not the fact of the £2 I dont mind paying it but! I thought a forum was a free place for like minded individuals to interact and share knowledge and parts not a money earner Money earner?? running this site costs several hundred quid a year in terms of the software and the server requirements. not a single member of the admin or mod team take a penny, nor have we ever, not on this site or the other one. the memberships and traders fees all go into a club paypal account, and are used to pay the forum's bills and to purchase items for shows etc. every last penny is accounted for and the staff are quite happy to share any info relating to what money is taken in / being handled at any given time upon request. it is certainly not a money earner for any of us.

Socks Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 its free to sell on TGTT as far as i know. and really 2quid a year on here isnt very steep either. Phil I tried to post my turbo kit thread up for sale days ago and its still not been approved :/ Despite the fact the advert was over-described! As Phil Said... Non of us profit from anything... If you think you'd sell things quicker, cheaper and easier on ebay. I feel you my be wrong mate... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I know this is irrelevant but why is toyotagtturbo so quite? People hardly ever post on there and I've tried making an account a while back but it's still not been approved :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil. I can understand charging for special privaliges but is there really any need on this part of the forum! There on ebay now anyway and already getting interest so it seems this is not the only place for the traffic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 From what I can see you have one advert on eBay with no bids Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Point is i hate ebay, you sell something on ebay you pay your lisitng fees, 10% fees, then 10% on postage, then your 4% paypal. You sell things for slightly less on here and still be quids in, if the right person wants it, it will sell and £1.95 come on it doesnt exactly break the bank for a years worth of selling which pretty much covers about 4 listing fees on ebay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There on ebay now anyway and already getting interest so it seems this is not the only place for the traffic There were a few reasons for introducing it... Was another hope to try and keep some scammers at bay too. To protect members.
