So it now costs $30/year to post WTS knives?

I didn't pay for my gold but when time comes to renew I probably will and I have yet to use the exchange. I think that shows what value I place on this forum and the gold membership.

I just moved from Gold to Plat and I haven't sold a single knife here (though I have bought dozens of knives here). I did it because this place allows me to be part a knowledgeable and enthusiastic knife-oriented community and provides almost daily entertainment for me.

I don't expect every member to be be a paid member. Not everyone has the same amount of money nor does everyone get the same level of enjoyment out of the site BUT I will say that if you are the kind of member who is only supporting here based on some kind of cost - benefit analysis of your knife sales, I personally don't care what you think. Pony up or go sell your knives somewhere else, as far as I'm concerned.
 
I hardly ever sell. But I re-up my Gold every year. It is the price of going to a movie and getting popcorn with my wife.....once....but I get a whole years worth if reading, entertainment and enjoyment.... plus the ability to easily sell a knife to someone with feedback, and a solid reputation.

The gold also gets me add free enjoyment.
 
Part of my reasoning why I would/will pay for a membership when it comes to renewal is that I frequently use ad-blocking which if I am not paying for membership means I am hurting the needed revenues used to maintain this site.
 
Personally I think the membership levels are very fair for the value of this site. I'm on my third year of gold membership and in that time I've bought a few knives and various other items from the exchange (which I could have done as a registered user), traded zero knives, sold zero knives, listed zero knives for sale or trade and asked one question about value that I can recall. Gold membership has still been worth every penny to me.

....this....I am an avowed knife buyer.... ;) I have not sold a single thing here that I can recall but the $$s are easy enough to pony up because of the the entertainment value alone. Hell I spend $4.50 on coffee EVERY day (to be specific everyday between 0730 and 0740hrs).
 
I'm just happy that you guys support the community. Without paying members, the site would have closed down a long time ago. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Well not every one of you. Looking at you, ppl who like Nickelback.
 
And as a comparison measure, be aware that eBay now charges a fee of 10% for any sale.

ANY SALE = TEN PERCENT!

One $300 knife and you're even.

Thank you for paying.
