Re: Fred Miranda's Big Decision (now the evolution of Dgrin)
Fred Miranda Compromise Fred Miranda has compromised and added a "Buy and Sell Subscription" as a stand alone offering outside the photo hosting option for $45. The buy and sell subscription is $24.90 and allows you to post items for sale at FM, but not use the FM photo host. The $45 dollars per year allows you to do both.… -

Fred Miranda's Big Decision (now the evolution of Dgrin)
Fred Miranda has decided to turn his buy and sell board into a money making venture......you now have to be a photo upload subscriber on his site to post items for sale. $45 per year. You can still view the board and PM sellers - but you cannot sell anything. I could see buy and sell boards on other forums, such as this… -
Re: Fred Miranda's Big Decision (now the evolution of Dgrin)
I think I'm with the mob on this one - I've spent a lot of time and money with the B&S board on FM, but there's no way in god's green earth I'm going to pay $45 just to be able to list. I foresee a LOT less deals popping up on FM, and a LOT more "Mint, Sharp, Magic, Perfect" L glass being sold for approximately 99.7% of… -
Re: Fred Miranda's Big Decision (now the evolution of Dgrin)
Andy beat me to my next point - he want's $45 dollars per year to author for sale posts in his B/S forum and his forum overall is at a snails pace right now. I have rarely seen a site that responds so slowly. I am on a broadband connection (1.5 Mps) and it is like I'm back in my old Hayes compatible 300 baud days on there… -
Re: Fred Miranda's Big Decision (now the evolution of Dgrin)
I have bought and sold my last three cameras over there, but no more. I'm not going to pay $45 for another photo host (when I already have one, as I would assume most people do) just to sell cameras. There are many other B/S boards out there (including this one) that will now get my traffic. Sounds like the "paying… -
Re: Fred Miranda's Big Decision (now the evolution of Dgrin)
dont get me wrong...i wouldnt pay 45 bucks just to see the forum...but if they are already subscribed, then why would they care? esp. if they have had a ton of problems with scammers and whatnot. i mean, if docIT were to "retire" because of problems with posters and he just got fed up with it, wouldn't you other mod types… -
Re: Fred Miranda's Big Decision (now the evolution of Dgrin)
Regardless of your feelings about FM, everything changes over time. FM is at a stage where something need to be done. There is no doubt that many people like FM not only because of the B&S forum but the other forums as well. I know I for one learned a lot from many good people. The integrity and class of many on FM is… -
Re: Fred Miranda's Big Decision (now the evolution of Dgrin)
I made my point at the FM thread already. But ill reiterate here. I think they're going to lose a lot of viewers once they start charging sellers. Not all, but a good amount. Not everyone sells lg amounts of gear and those people will probably rather head over to diff board such as this one to sell to dodge the sellers…
