Perhaps a more accurate and relevant statement would be "the vast majority of VCP users do not spend $10,000 per year on cards." |

the avg. or mean is of limited relevance here--the median or mode is a more valuable measure. If nine collectors spend $3000/yr and the 10th spends $73,000, the avg will meet Bruce's 10K hypothetical yet I would imagine the 9 smaller guys could easily walk away from their memberships. In that event, since memberships are fixed in price, revenue drops dramatically. |

I have an idea... Lets all pick some arbitrary number out of a hat and base a point off that number like Bruce. |

Bruce's use of the "royal we" is to my mind no worse an idiosyncracy than "signing" every post "regards" or "be well" or whatever. |

There's been more hand wringing here over a $100 yearly increase than there is discussion about auction fraud which costs collectors exponentially more money. |

I use the site and will pay the increase. I pay that much for the privilege to submit and it cost me about that much to get a tank of premium gas each week. |

Bobby, This may have already been answered but how long do we have to decide if we want to take advantage of the 1-5 Yr. special. |

Brian, unlike in Sudan, with VCP if you don't like what is going on you can just press a button on your computer to cancel your membership. I wonder if there is as much discussion in the Save Darfur board as there is here over $100. |

I for one do not use 90% of the new features on your site - like others I am only interested in pre-war baseball. I doubt very seriously that I will pay 17.99 to keep the level of service I have or even 12.99 to get even less. |

Price increases are what they are.....however, prices without scans are kind of dicey as seen when I posted the M116 Matty's recently. Also, I sold a green T206 Cobby recently for more than the last 5 sales as it was much nicer.....had there been no scans I wouldn't have been able to know the information I needed.....the lower the grade the more relativity there is with the cards....Good luck |

As I see it Bobby is only providing data, not vouching that it should control any given transaction. |

$9.99 to $17.99...an 80% increase...wow. I used to say folks were feeling poorer but what with stocks in a bear market, the real estate debacle and a hundy to fill up my gas tank when I didn't even have enough time to bitch about it going up to fify, and its spillover effect on the price of food - and, well, everything else - has left familys with less money to spend. That's why over half of Americans are reconsidering taking vacation this summer to save money. Well, now I am now saying folks ARE poorer. |

A very painfully obvious and astute observation you have made (insert smiley). Of course Bobby doesn't control a transaction price BUT those listed transactions give an idea of where the market is AND is what is used to base a sales price on many times. Without scans it will be difficult to know what kind of deal I am getting or giving.....that's all I was saying. I too don't really care about all of the other stuff...Giving me pre-war card prices and scans and skipping the rest, would be great for a lot of us.... regards |

Bobby- did you just feel the earthquake? I was talking to my sister-in-law and she suddenly said "oh my god, we're having an earthquake." She was a mess. It was a 5.8. |
