For all those that use the Marketplace, and for those considering:
First, let me say that I've received numerous responses from people
telling me that it has worked for them and they are grateful for its
existence. Thanks, it makes the effort worthwhile. And a note, I've not
received ONE complaint. Not a peep.
The Marketplace on audifans.com has been a pretty resounding success.
All said, since I started "archiving" old ads, we've seen roughly 3300
ads, with about 200-300 active at any given moment. I'd say we've served
about 5000-6000 ads already, which warms the corners of my heart. The
Marketplace is easily the most visited place on the audifans.com
website, contrary to popular opnion that it is "never viewed".
For those considering using the Marketplace, please read the guidelines
on the opening page before posting your ad. The most common violation is
referer ads to ebay auctions. It clearly states there that pointing to
auctions is a nono. Please observe this and you won't get an email from
me telling you the same.
Second, the picture posting is stupid for now. I've got new code ready
to go, but haven't had time to get it in place. So, please, when you
upload a picture, simply give it a short, no-spaces name, like "a4.jpg".
Give it a useful extension, too. I promise to get things in order as
soon as I can, 'cause I know it's annoying.
So, for now, thanks for using the Marketplace.
Mark
