I look at it this way.....all of the other "perks" of contributor membership aside, I can place ads on so-called "free" sites, which seem to have rather limited traffic, (other than those Nigerian scammers that seem to somewhat favor those sites) and perhaps sell an animal from those ads. Transaction done.
Or, I can spend the $25 here, and reach a much more specialized shopper and a good amount of traffic, and sell an animal. Once I sell an animal here, I can leave feedback for that buyer, get feedback from that buyer, and if they leave me a "Good Guy" note on the BOI, hey, that's just more advertising (at no extra expense or use of my time), and helps me to get my name out there and noticed, as well as speaking for the quality of my animals. If there is a problem with the animal or transaction, there are folks here to help myself, as well as the buyer, whether it be a health or husbandry issue with the animal, or if that buyer tries to rip me off in some way, I have the backup here to get things righted. Of course, that works both ways, I had better make sure I'm doing MY job as the seller as well, or the word WILL get around here.
$25 a year, $2.08 a month, however you want to divide it up, it's money very well spent IMO, even if you are only selling a few animals.
