TX End of the line for good deals on parts

[WIDESIDE72]

I have been a premium member here for four or five years, bought sold and helped other members with questions.

My dad recently got in over his head with a pay as you go body shop and they took him for close to $10k to get his 72 SWB painted. He lost interest after that and I took to finish. I have been listing a lot of parts trying to offset the cost of finishing the truck. I have sold a little, not a lot, IMO.

Yesterday I get a message from a staff member saying that due to the volume of "sales", (not listings), I was being "upgraded" to high octane status on a pro rated basis. Coincidentally, this means my membership goes from $25 per year to $130.

I responded and explained my situation and got a response that said that they sympathized but I was going to be upgraded none the less.*

I don't have the funds to upgrade so it will just be a matter of time. I am just curious to see whether they leave this up so all can see that it really is all about the all mighty dollar.*I am on eBay as "steveshow", but always listed here first to give members first shot and in an effort to save us both some money. Oh well!*I invite your responses and opinions on the whole situation.
