At first blush I agree, $25-50 dollars is not a big ask for the value most of us get from the site.
But there are businesses benefiting here, one of them we all call our host, many of us try to buy everything we need from them or the other businesses. I spent a ton at Butler and quite a bit at Ames and I’m not done.
I wonder how much Cold Case, Legendary, Ames , Butler or any other businesses here would miss this site and how much their businesses would suffer?
Some members here also benefit financially as they participate and do business at the same time. I know they have paid memberships.

Still I honestly feel that is where the financing of this site should come from. I know I’m in the minority and expect to get flamed. But I’d like some clarity on why the businesses benefiting the most can’t solve this.
