I assume thats on a shared host server? If it gets to a stage where you need a dedicated server then costs can rocket £1000+ per year, if not a lot more.

Can't see anything wrong with the £25 and don't think people are put of by it!

The reason there are only a few adverts is more likely to be the time of year!

A lot have already sorted there pairs and have paired up so surplus birds have already been sold and its to early to be selling youngsters.

I agree, when you consider that Newspapers make a fortune out of selling them, BHW/RPRA makes a fortune out of its membership, but they still all charge for advertising, and a lot more than PB does. I think it's a very fair price to pay.

i think that the wanted section will get more posts and replys by PM  :-/

have not got a clue my mate did that side of things lol i am rubbish on a pc i just paid my 1/2 to the costs the is a number of forums having a good do out of it i know that lol

[showman]

As usual, it's all very simple. If you don't like the price, don't pay it !! Sell your belongings somewhere else, where the rate is better.

Personally, I think it's really good value for money. Go to the BHW, and you won't get half a column for £25.00, and that's a one off advert.

it would be better i the was a charge per advert the person who sells loads of birds they are getting it for next to nowt the person who just sells say once its still cheap but you would be better putting a advert in the bhw because its the same price and more would see it in the bhw while the people who sell a number of times are better of on here buy a long way

Hear Hear, and some are, that they only ever sold / sell. One actually answered on one topic.... Otherwise just advertised and sold.

Another did the same... But this one then had the audacity to report me to the 'Mod' when I question his bird  :-/ .  He still only advertsies and sells. Mind he does now get picked up on some of the claims and also asking prices... Thethe big  sulks lol.

You can,t ask the seller questions, via an add in the BHW

and the next day they are keeping fish and chips warm  ;D ;D

[Guest joshdonlan]

I personally feel advertising in the BHW is better value if your selling quality proven birds which are going to get more money, as it has a wider audience. If you dont have 'trend' birds or less popular breeds which dont sell for the same as proven racers you arnt getting your value either way. You may aswell give your birds away.

its 25 a year to be a gold member unless i am wrong if i was just selling birds say once a year i would soon use the bhw i had some pups for sale if i wanted to put them on here i would have to become a gold member i dont sell pigeons so its not werth it to me were i might not even sell one on here so i paid 30 to put them in the paper

 

[catchthepigeon]

i thought you could pay a one off fee to advertise single items if your not a big time seller so it would only cost you £2.50 to advertise your pups on here

i did not know that lol sorry

 

 

[Guest lenwadebob]

I can't recall birds ever not being sold on here, and certainly birds on here are not of an inferior quality to those in the BHW. I know many fanciers who have advertised in the BHW and not sold, hence the reason you often see them being re-advertised a couple of weeks later, and so paying double bubble to sell the same thing.

[fletch]

have read all the post on here and feel that pjc has hit the nail on the head why sales are quite at the mo, i feel that this may stop the once a year sellers who sell the odd bird cheaply, but in the past my dad has sold birds in the BHW and last year i sold some on here for him, we paid the 10% fee on here, but i feel that the £25 is fair as in both circumstances the £25 would of been a lot cheaper, so if i have to sell some more for my dad they will be sold on here,

also as each sale works out at around £2 each its a bargain if you use all your 12 sales,

as it will be going to help out this super site it has to be done,

1 question i would like to ask is that if the website asked a contribution towards the site surely most people would put £20ish pounds or more  towards the upkeep of the site so probley a good deal to the up keep of the site

[dwh]

25 pound isnt much if you sell a few birds over the year,i havent paid yet but will in the new year,it helps the forum so a good idea.i think its a small price to pay for advertising your surplus birds.

 

wish our birds and our rep  were good enough to sell on PB.com I'd willingly pay the £25 and the best thing is it gives the lads on the site1st chance at some decent pigeons from genuine fanciers

[Guest bakes]

i think its a bargain ive bought birds from members off here everyone has been a good bird in its own way but if i ever dissided to sell any of my young i would happily put them up on here and pay the prize they ask as thats nothink compare to what it would cost me if i put them in bhw or other press

 

all the best

[ALF]

Personally i think it's quite comical to see all the people who are now complaining as they dont get FREE and yes i said free advertising to sell all they stuff they wish to sell come on people get a grip and get into the real world..you cant sell them for free in the BHW so why should you do it for free on here????

 

Answers on a postcard please :P ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

And i know that some people send in donations after a sale but not all do it so i think this is a good move and very cheap at the price ;) 8) 8) 8) 8)
