I like the idea of keeping the bad guys out and make buying and selling experience somewhat nicer. But.. I also have to watch this 30$ and that $25 more these days as we are living off our retirement checks. Now I tend to spend on what I really need more than what I like to have. I  will most likely pay the money but when I am ready to sell.
What keeps me from  the classifieds or even using them whether it is here or wherever is my fear of having the buyer not be satisfied. I know you can send pics but up close and personal someone may be disappointed. That bothers me.

I'd pay it just to support the site.  The ability to buy or sell is a great option here.  But the real benefit is the people who frequent this site that  you get to meet.
 My only wish would be that the renewal time would not fall during my hunting season.  But even that is no big deal.
Thanks to all who make this site happen.

To me, if someone contributes to the site, that about says it all. You are someone that I can trust and is trustworthy.
My last two deals, I sent the bow out as soon as the buyer said I'll take it. It's a longer wait I find between our countries, postal wise and most buyers are antsy for their "new" bow. I know I am!
Not been a problem, each buyer has sent the money off as expected.
Seems to be a bit of a buyers market, some great deals on there. $30.00 isn't even a 24 of beer up here, so I have no problem with the "expense".

I just bought some Grizzly Stiks a few weeks ago at a very good price.  Add the $30 to be a Tradgang Contributor to what I paid for these arrows, and I'm still about $125 under retail; way ahead after only one deal.  I think the $30 fee keeps a few miscreants out of the bin.  I've had nothing but positive experiences with quality people.

I got more than that in 3 free broadheads from someone in the classifieds about a month ago. Posted about wanting to buy one to try out, someone sent me 3 different heads all for free.

Two years ago someone sent me a dozen free arrows as well. You easily get your money back 10 times over just from dealing with generous people.

Your contribution isn't a classifieds fee.

It's money paid to help support Tradgang's web site.

I can't remember the last time I visited the classifieds(staying strong)but if I were looking for something this would be the 1st place I'd look.

If I didn't see it right off I'd post up an "ISO"(in search of) ad then sit back and see if it turned up anything that met my need(s).

Back on the right rabbit trail- the classifieds are awesome but they are only for contributors.

I can't say enough good things about how Tradgang is managed and patrolled for our benefit.

This is my only recreational site; I visit it every day, and learn something almost as often, and for that alone, the $30 is worth it for me, even if that is not the reason the fee became mandatory for accessing the classifieds.  I buy occasionally, and sell even more occasionally (i.e. once) and my experiences have been good.  I HAVE wondered whether those who sell (or trade) more frequently have seen longer wait times without casual browsers seeing their offerings.

Such great deals, great people who are willing to work together with no issues. No hidden fee's, it simply is what it is.
I've bought and sold hundreds of bows, quivers, arrows, etc elsewhere and nothing compares to our Tradgang group of people. Extra stuff thrown in, good conversations, just great stuff.
Thanks to the Mods, and thanks to all our people.
Fun stuff, I love it.     :thumbsup:  
THANK YOU ! THANK YOU ! THANK YOU !

You just posted what I hear all the time via phone calls, email, and texts.  Its not the same if I say it....so thanks again!

I have sold a few big items on Craigslist and am now over 20 known scam attempts.
The 30 bucks to have some security and peace of mind is really priceless.
I really thank and support Terry and Rob in this decision.

I usually contibute several years in advance not just for buy/sell although I do that but to keep the integrity of this site going the direction it is headed. Well worth it.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

The classifieds are fantastic because you are buying from members.  Many are names we recognize which is good.  

I had to wait late this last fall too to contribute my share for the site, but will always be willing to to do so. Lots of talent with the members on all aspects of traditional archery and bowhunting and some good thought provoking questions too.  Hope to be a member till they plant me on the 44.

I don't buy or sell very much in a year, but it is well worth the $30.00 just to be able to look and to support the site.

The knowledge you gain form this sight is worth 100 times the fee. The classifieds is just the icing on the cake!
