KEEP ON TOPIC (by Phil L.):
Lets try and remember this topic isn't about the dollar amount to join! We all agree the fee is very fair!
This topic is about owners paying to run their ad for rent or sales then money hungry Redweek charges anyone wanting to see if they have listings of interest have to pay to become a member first!
It is about the fact Redweek makes money from members trying to rent or sell and then anyone just looking for something finds they have to become member just to check the ad's out. Yes they get refunded if they found nothing they want but what a hassle just to see what others have paid to showcase on here!
There has been many including myself that left the site and bought from another site just because of this waste of time fee! I came back later and became a member but it cost a seller my business and when I did join I wasn't forced to.
Just to update I stop being a member in Dec 2009 because of the nickel and dime operation of Redweek. Also two years of running rental ads and no clue if anyone even spotted my ad as Redweek refuses to have a counter. Because of this it was a waste of my time and money and last dollar Redweek gets from me! I rented our unit in one week for more than asking on Redweek ad and used the unit the next year for my family. Also many of our friendly members left this forum for some of the same reasons. Can read post on Tug all the time of old members that just became bored with the cost and always watching one person on here take Redweeks side against every person that disagreed with something on Redweek.People just have better things to do than argue with this person every posting and left this site. Talk to many on other forums all the time or in e-mails.
