Small vendor advertising arrangements

We are aware that some members may wish to advertise products that they
make to the wider AUSRC community with a view to making a small return
for their time and effort. Typically these ventures can vary by
product and scale but examples we have seen include; LED lighting kits,
shock socks, Savage TVP's and decal sets.







However we must be continually mindful of the potential for these small
member vendors to be able to hinder the advertising appeal of this
forum to bigger sponsors who are in a better position to help
contribute toward paying the ongoing costs of running this forum.
Typically these costs have been paid for by member donations and

directly from the site owners pocket. Costs like ongoing development
and expenses of leasing the server, bandwidth, domain name
registrations, tax accounting are all things that must be met or we
simply go 'off the air'.







So to try and tread the fine line between both sides of the hobby world
we have developed the following advertisers structure/fees:







Thread (single topic/item only) $20 - valid for three months only, then removed from public view.






Multiple threads - up to 5 (each single topic/item) $80 - valid for three months only, then removed from public view.






Own Board - Unlimited threads, includes shared banner - $100 - valid for one month only, then locked.






Banner included in 'own board' price but can also be purchased seperately- $30 per month.








So if you have a small something to sell, then for $20 you can have
your own thread that we will moderate for you (keep it on track), it
will last for three months and you can sell all the single type product
you like within that single thread.







Got more than one item to sell, then you can purchase multiple threads or even a whole board if you see the value in it.







Obviously with these rules now in place the moderator team will be
monitoring for inappropriate selling outside the above, this will help
ensure that everyone is playing by the same rules.






The above only applies to people who have multiples of same item in
new condition to sell. We would define these people as "vendors" who are selling their
goods for profit. It doesn't apply to people selling their second hand items in the For
Sale area or to people arranging Group Buys to obtain a discount for larger quantity purchases.







If you have any questions, please PM one of the forum moderators.
