Frank - The banner ad is not a bad idea. You guys have an interesting forum. I am open to it, but there is no advertising information on the site.
Yes, I mentioned that we were breaking a set. It was part of the reason for writing the article. The cards are not online yet, thus they can not be bought yet. If the objective was to sell cards, I think that we probably have them posted online.
We break anywhere from a few to a dozen sets each and every week. That is what we do. It is very routine to us. I do not even know all the cards went up this week and did not think twice about the comment.
As far as trying to get sales from net54, that does not really make sense. If we were selling cards, we would do it in the correct section and not catch all this grief. Besides, according to
Compete.com , DeansCards.com had over 16 times the unique visitors as net54 in October. (32,772 vs. 2046) Even if everyone of you visited our site, it would only increase our traffic 5%. Again, it just does not make sense.
Again, net 54 is a great site. No insult intended.
I write articles and blogs about cards because it is fun! Our customers enjoy reading them and one reccomended the forum as a resource. You guys seem to have vast hobby knowledge. Most people do not mind sharing it. It makes for better articles. I will not ask again. It is not worth the hassle. This is baseball cards. It is supposed to be fun!
I assumed that if someone did not want contribute, then they would just ignore the post. (as most of you have.) That said, I sincerely apologize for any hurt and harm my request for information has inflicted your persons.
Take Care & Happy Holidays,
Dean
