Subscription Changes for Members and Vendors

[Josh]

Due to a growing increase in members that are selling a volume of parts, the forum is now offering new vendor pricing to accommodate those needs. This will give members several different subscription levels based on the quantity or frequency that you sell items. These new tiers of membership will allow you to make a short term upgrade when you have the need, or take advantage of the savings that a longer term has to offer.


As always a basic membership on the forum comes with no charge. You may post a reply in any of the Classified Forums. You will not have the ability to offer items "For Sale", "For Trade", or make a "Wanted to Buy" or "What's it Worth" post.

For our members that like to buy and sell frequently, we have added a new membership level that will fit your needs. This will allow you to take advantage of the growing demand for selling used parts on here as well as Craigslist, eBay or other off site sources.

This is designed specifically for individuals that want to offer primarily used parts, manufacturer small parts, or offer services at an affordable price. It is not to be used for location or internet based businesses that offer parts or services as a primary source of income. The Forum Staff will be available to help determine if you meet the guidelines.
