As much as I hate to admit it, Being the tightwad and scrounger that I am, I have to agree with the PTB's at MAK.In our system, if there isn't a profit to be made, there isn't an incentive to continue. Altruism is wonderful, but it doesn't buy groceries or shoes or goodies for the coach.Personally I haven't subscribed to Coach Conversions Magazine for a few reasons, one of which is that I'm not in one spot long enough usually to justify subscribing to a lot of stuff that will get lost in the mail when forwarded. Now that I have a 2 year commitment to be where I am, while my wife has an upwardly mobile job, insurance and benefits, and I have my job repairing RV's, working on buses and collecting tools and stuff, I'll be subscribing.I think it's only fair that I give back to the people that have helped me get where I am with my bus.I've made a mistake once or twice and posted on this and the old board with something for sale, but,I did it without thinking.For that I apologize.I don't think that a small charge for an advertizement is too much to ask and as soon as I can afford it, I'll be adding my own ads to the MAK group.No matter how little is charged, or what is not allowed on the board, people, being what they are, will find a way around it to do what they want. It's the nature of the beast. The ONLY way to administer this and any other board is the honor system, or, in other words, trusting in people.If all you cheap a**ed S*B's want to keep a great place to congregate and freely exchange thought's and information, support the MAK systyem.I'm crawling down off my soapbox now,Thank you for your time.Mike, Keep up the Great Work!DallasPD-4103-1085
You guys are killing me. Less than $1,000 free, $10 for items more than $1,000... come on, help me buy a tank of fuel for the bus. I'm thinking under $50 free, $50 to $200 charge $5 then maybe $10 up to a $1,000. Keep in mind that the ad will also be placed in the magazine, but hopeful the item will sell before the mag hits the street. Shoot, a gallon of Diesel is $3 now, a cup of coffee at Starbucks is $4 (I get mine at 7-11 for 75 cents). Anyway, sleep on it, and tell me what it's worth to get that crap out of the belly of your bus.
