Bobby-
Yes, your correct...sort of. I did have a period where my monthly membership expired and I believe there was a 2-3 week period in between where I was going to pay up for a yearly subcription. I told you then I appreicated the couple free weeks. That, was good customer relations, this that your doing now...is not. Amazing though that you as a business man would bring that up where as I would think that would be more customer privied information.
I also agree, if things were tight you should have raised the price at some point instead of waiting until now to do an 80% increase. I know there are many on this board that disagree and say "hey its just a few bucks". I can go buy milk at the store for $4, doesn't mean I want to pay $7.65 though just because it's only an additional $3.65. As someone else said, it's the principle of it. I like VCP, I think it has some good info (although its not perfect and it does miss auctions). But, I can't foresee myself personally agreeing to such a deal. My current deal runs out at the end of the year. Why in the world would ANY company require a customer under a current subcription to have to pay for another supscription 5+ months ahead of time? And, with two days to do so?
