What is the point of the dealer classifieds.

the point is that a dealer pays $100 a year to post on this website it helps defray the costs deal with it

I'd pay an extra $5 a year as a member to stop them from posting in the non-dealer section. Thankfully, I don't need much anymore so I don't do much wading. Although at some point, I have to start SELLING guns - and I could get lost in the sea of posts.

Maybe dealers should be forced to only have ONE post on the FS shortguns, long guns, etc at a time. Put all your silly overpriced crap in ONE post instead of 50.

well get everyone to "go green" , meaning make the website subscription only, and that would make enough money to replace the funds the dealers are chipping in.

There are 42 dealers listed, at $125 a whack that is just over $5000 in income to defray the cost of the server, tech support, software, and put a couple of bucks in the site owners pocket for their work

If the people that are obviously dealers also that are selling a ton of stuff would actually pay the membership fee it would help. If all your posts as a green member are for new gun sales you probably should have a dealer account.
 
3. The views on dealer listings pale in comparison to those of the classified ads. 100% of all my customers form NES have come from the standard classified ads section, even when items were cross posted.
Didn't know that.
When I peruse the classifieds, I give equal time to the dealer section as the others.
 
Blocking is a feature that should only be available to paying members like yourself.

If you aren’t a paying member, you should not have the ability to block them. Just sayin’
So you want to paywall NES? [laugh]

Certain days/ times the ads are off the hook. Go to the offending forum and click "Mark Read". Poof all the ads by all the dealers are gone. No paywall required.
 
The regular classified used to have interesting shit


Dealer section not so much and look at the classifieds ….same old boring shit

Dude, if you start selling and people don't buy your stuff, it won't be because of a page or 2 of dealer ads.
 
I have an email from Derek(main admin) saying he was going to to do something to block dealers from posting in the regular classifieds in April of 2024. Said it would take a little time to implement. Well…that didn’t happen. 😝

..edit. It was not an email is was a direct message from
When I got a warning for re-listing an item for sale. Was the time when dealers where really spamming the board and you would put something for sale and within 4 hours you were already on page 3
The workaround is trivial. A personal account that is green and you can post to the non dealer section. And for $100 more why do I want to lose the ability to post to all the classifieds?

The whine has gotten out of control here
 
NES ranks highest in return customer rate 3X more compared to any other lead. (I think its because they are the only user group that not just puts up with my nonsense and piss poor attitude but are either gluttons for punishment or actually appreciate it)
I am both a glutton for punishment and appreciate it! Now share the super secret cool guns :cool:
