    Oh you mean you will never sell it for $200.00 but you can sell it for $10 Per month :) Let me know if you want to :p

    Avatar gets good exposure and I'm sure it gets good traffic as well (just a guess, but it really works)

    My avatar is something I could never sell..it's like my online identity...if I didn't have it, I wouldn't be me.

    This whole idea started last December, when some one got a LOT of people to change to a holiday avatar!!!

    :eek: next time you do that, PM me so I can join in da auction!!! Would you like to have one of your head transplant images as your avatar!!! :D:D:D

    But It's so much easier to click someone's link in a sig. No typing involved. :D

    no seo value! but it's a type of visual advertisement, that helps a lot! also the post count dosenot matters too much for avatars. it's all about your current rate of posting!

    Avatars are good for making your sites a brand! an image of your website that stays in others memory! webtalkforum's example was good though:)

    Exactly,

    Post per day will effect your sign link space, avatar & location space rates.

    B.T.W Avatar is also the source of earing some extra cash thats why people offer his/her avatar ;)

    Thanks kind of way it isn't the best idea for everyone to sell their avatar/signature links.

    Posting will become work and that's what you are trying to avoid by posting on the dp.

    It will be up for sale again on the 9th... Maybe I should start a new auction thread now... Yes, Nino, I would use a head transplant image, if you paid me enough! ;)
