In a typical 'marketplace' advertising situation, adspace can be taken out
by just about anyone, but bigger operations are encouraged to take out more
prestegious and higher quality advertising space (more expensive) throughout
editorial the content.
In our case, I'd want to sell this Marketplace adspace by a fairly long
subscription (6 mos?) With any changes to the ad itself being expensive.
This discourages someone from having like 20 ads and changing them
everyother day. Those folks would be better off with something more like a
classified ad.

Sticking with magazine methodology, I'd imagine BrickLink's advertising
appearing elsewhere on the site, and/or BrickLink taking out a bulk sum of
marketplace ads on behalf of its users and reselling it (privately) to them
at a discount (in comparison with LUGNET's regular marketplace rates). This
sometimes happens when a site like BrickLink wants its 'product' to speak
for itself. All these simple, similar-looking, small ads would appear ganged
together with/as a BrickLink ad. This situation has the obvious advantage
(for me) of leaving determinations up to the other party.

me too.
But do you think there's any danger in the visitor seeing your 2 stores on
equal footing? that is, they can't tell that your ad for a BL store is at
BL, and your other isn't? As a visitor, would you want to know?
