| | | This thread is a month old, but I've had a few thoughts on the subject and believe its a good time to toss them up for discussion. I will start off by saying that the current fee of 2% of sales is a legitimate and valid fee and should not be (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| | | | | (...) Good idea, I hope many fellow sellers/buyers join this discussion (...) Agreed, 2% seems fair (...) I think a shop opening fee is reasonable. It should not prevent a serious seller that has something to offer to join Brickbay, but it may deter (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| | | | | | (...) I don't think you CAN filter out the bogus buyers.... there will always be some idiot trying to mess things up for other people, unfortunately. We, IMHO, just need to deal with them case-by-case. (23 years ago, 1-Jul-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| | | | | (...) I'm going to send out an e-mail survey to the top ~30 Brickbay sellers how it would affect them if the fee was raised from 2% to 3%. The proceeds from that would go to fund a relocation to a better more reliable server which would have better (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jul-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

If a seller had some very rare parts, priced "fair" he might still (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jul-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Those resources might be bandwidth, disk space, etc. If someone has two 'Yellow 1 x 2 Brick's listed, the odds are small that those would be desirable parts. They have an intrinsic value that is (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jul-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| | | | (...) I've commented on this before, but want to bring it up in the context of the point raised above. Suppose you have 800 yellow 1x2 bricks listed, and a buyer buys all but a few, lets say 798, (this stuff does happen, and often) then you only (...)
