I think the fee idea is a good one. If you want a possibly easier sale, sacrificing a few % of moolah makes sense. If not, sell like you do now.
Id hate to see this site go. I use it daily. So anything additional to donations to keep the site running is a good thing to me.

If anyone buys something from my current FS thread, ill donate 10% of it happily. 1-2% is drymount all no matter the value of the print.

Let's just charge the commish groups 98% and be done with it.

People still commish...don't they?

New cook here
A few bucks extra is money well spent in my opinion.
We've already lost GP and I still miss that site dearly.

How handy would it be though that if you want to sell a poster and you go to the wanted section that you can see all trade items from all the people that have said poster as an ISO instead of having to click on every single member and then go through their trade list, right?

Fantastic site that fueled my addiction over the years....I haven't been around much partly due to other priorities, but also due to the instability of the site. I sincerely hope the goal is met to ensure long-term viability. Just donated a G to help push this a bit closer to the goal :pint:

Thanks for the reminder! I'm not around as much as I used to be, but would be real sad to see the site go down or to get any features stripped away. Didn't need another print so I donated the old way. Hope that's fine as well :pint:
