Well first of all, you are not required to be a contributor or pay anything at all to post classifieds here, so your entire argument to that effect is irrelevant.
That being the case it's obvious that it's not just "good business practice" as you say, or else you would have just posted for free since that's an even better business practice.
For that matter if the $25 you paid for those coins is so critical to your "business" that you feel you must recoup it then you might need to start thinking about another business to get into. Oh wait, you've sold 38 animals this year apparently, yeah.... business may be stretching it.

Why pay for what I can have for free,like so many other members. If you remember the coins were to offset the cost of keeping the BOI alive. I say let it go and as such will not renew my coins to support it!

This is why your motives behind this thread are transparent. It has nothing to do with a "logical business point" as you put it, since the coins are not required to conduct business here in the first place. It has nothing to do with advertising dollars when ads are free to post.
You obviously don't like the BOI, nor some of the members here, and you would like to see it gone.
That is the reason for this thread.
What it boils down to is if you don't like it here, leave. You won't be missed, neither will your $25. No one will even notice you're gone.
But rather than take that route, you decide to post this thread with the thinly veiled bashing of the site while claiming lack of sales is the motive.
Did you actually think anyone would swallow your complaint of paying for something that's free? People with the coins on this site have them because they appreciate the site and believe in what it's here for. You apparently do not share that opinion.
