For the record, I want to pay $x once and pay $y as a cut of what I sell
using your auction software. Maybe even a fairly hefty cut. I would
think that this would on (or near) the top of your priority list from
the perspective of making LUGNET pay for itself.
So what is x likely to be? How much is too small? You say "very
economical" but for whom? As an undergraduate student, I could have
ponyed up $20 without it hurting too much, and now I could come up with
$100 if I had to, but those are very different amounts, and when I was
12 I would have had to save up for quite a while to get $20 out of my allowance.
I'll set aside $100 in July or August if there is going to be some kind
of official membership shortly - because I think that the service you're
offering is worth it, but I hope that generating extra income will allow
you to progress down your timeline faster. Is it feasible that you
could generate enough from us to make that happen?
