[Texxxx]

He paid just to put up the post. I bet he want pay again until he needs to post again. I say don't let it get that far.
Life's to short to have to put up with those type of people.

Hey Troy
Hope all is well for you today. I left a message with your secretary too. I am writing concerning your banner ad on Net54baseball. I seem to be not getting a response from the email invoices I have sent. I am easy. If there is an issue let me know. If you prefer not to advertise anymore, no worries, just let me know. I hope you will continue and think it’s a great value but if it isn’t helping I understand. I won’t even charge you for what is owed but just let me know and I will help any way I can.
Thanks
leon


Then I saw the thread Troy started, this evening. Nothing in between....

Guy should have paid, and not avoided you I agree. However just a thought....playing devils advocate.

How about taking down his ad, locking his log in until he pays quietly behind the scenes. The public tar and feather seems over the top Leon.

Cheers,

John

I don't think it's over the top John. I think it took some audacity for him to post the thread after all of my repeated attempts at contacting him for payment. I actually think it was kind of a douchy thing for him to do, but that is just me. I have been wrong before, maybe I am this time too? But I respect your opinion.

thanks

Leon--are you saying that the only way an auction can post a thread is if they pay? I thought the pay was for the banner ad, not for the right to post. Can't anyone post anything, as long as it relates to vintage cards?

Jay- Advertising threads on the front page are one of the things that are charged for in some cases. If you are interested I can send you an advertising fact sheet. I doubt anyone would want to have unlimited posting of advertisements on the front page. There is a BST page for posting auction announcements and sales. I think you and I have been over this before.

I should add that any company or person can post anything they want to on the front page, that is about vintage cards. This issue pertains to ads and sales only.

Fair enough--thanks!
