andy beckernot at all, richard. that's why i think that mastro should request referrences.
i'm just saying that for someone who is just getting started....a major auction newbie....that a bidder registration fee might not be the best business desicion.
i think it would alienate some potential customers....and that is verified in josh's original thread....at least a couple chimmed in that they wouldn't pay the $75 and therefore they won't participate.
chris,
a toll at mobil wouldn't stop me from buying gas, but it would stop me from being a mobil customer.
edited to add, i certainly understand that mastro has opperating expenses....no question.
i just think that trying to recover a very small portion of those expenses by turning off a potential new participant is penny wise and dollar foolish.
