    i think dp should control the market in buy/sell/trade folder. some guys are providing sites and services for penny cash there. this is a bad news for other genuine sellers and hard working programmers. maybe we should have a minimum price range there.

    eg :- minimum price $100 + for websites
    $10 an hour for services

    Why is this? If they want to do so, then there is nothing wrong with such. Anything that costs less than $5.00 already has to be posted in the Freebies section... :p

    no point of moving it to freebies folder!

    freebies = free stuffs ;) that means we don't have to pay for it.

    You cannot force someone to offer certain services at higher rates. If the seller is happy with the price the buyer does not mind it then who are we to interfere. If you work at a higher price and offer better quality as well more people will go your way in the long run.

    My advice is anyone offering web design or directory submission services need not rely solely on dp. There are places where you can get better prices.

    $5 and below is a sensible move, but I think to do things like

    minimum price $100 + for websites
    $10 an hour for services

    Seems to be the work of Congress to set the minimum wages. To do that on such a big forum would be lots of extra work for the mods.

    It's a free market man, anyone can sell for whatever price he/she wants...

    It might be a good idea to open a "flea market" area where cheap services & goods are provided.

    I was giving away free cash yesterday, Monday and Saturday. ;)

    It is basically free, but if you were to give $5.00 out to every Tom, Dick and Harry that requested, you'd be broke. Simple. :eek:

    I disagree with this.
    Maybe make subfolder for lower priced items. It's nice to get a turnkey site for 50$ - 75$ every now and then. ;)
    This is what sitepoint did shortly after I started visiting their site, and that's what drove me over to here.

    Actually, if I'm looking to buy a nice site for 500-1000$, I'll do to sitepoint.

    It can be a good idea but, I don't see any point in charging from members. If you go back to history you will realize that B/S/T has played a vital role in the growth of this forum. I know B/S/T is by far the most active forum here. I have been around here for a quiet long time now and based on my own experience I know not many members will support the idea of charging to post in B/S/T. Alternatively I would suggest to limit the number of posts to 100 - 500 in order to be able to post in that section.

    haalu kihineh mr maldives! kaley konthaka ulhene.

    you got me wrong there! i'm not asking dp to charge our fellow members. i'm saying that should be set as the minimum price for a trade.

    I never called is a freebie. I said that it was basically free, and that it is classified as a freebie (refer to the sticky in the Freebies section).

    If you had knocked on my door yesterday, yes, you would have received some free cash.

    The name is clookid... ;)
