Hi Leon- while you and I have already talked about this, and I see nothing wrong with you making some money on a project that you have put many man hours into, I probably still have a few reservations about it. I might like to see just what the page will look like before I gave it my full endorsement. How many ads will be visible at one time? Will they in any way be a distraction? I also probably would find "we are accepting consignments" ads a bit off putting. One of the things that I like about the board is I feel we are all on equal footing. Whether one is a beginner or an advanced collector, everyone has the same freedom and rights. Now, all the biggest companies, the one's who will be able to afford these ads, will be staring us in the face every time someone wants to post. Again, there is nothing necessarily wrong with this, but maybe in the same way that a billboard every hundred yards on a highway doesn't add to the pleasure of a Sunday drive.
