Please "unlimited free classifieds" should be replaced with "limited free classifieds" every place that it appears (including TUG advertisements in other publications and websites) because that is exactly what it is "limited".
Advertising "unlimited free classifieds" and then charging TUG members who exceed a "limit" on the number of ads and then justifying it by labeling them "brokers" is bush league.
If Ford advertised unlimited free gas for as long as you owned a car purchased from Ford and provided you with a "free gas card" for your fill ups. Wouldn't you feel mislead when the gas card no longer worked when you attempted your 26th fill-up and got the message please insert cash. When you called to complain they told you that people that need more than 25 fill-ups are considered commercial drivers and not regular customers.
"limited free classifieds" is still a nice member benefit.
There is NO need for an intentionally misleading advertisement.
in most cases its changed to simply "free"
and also in most cases, by that I mean 99.9999999% of TUG members posting ads...they never hit the limit anyway.
less than 25 TOTAL members posting ads, have eclipsed the 25 count.
when the marketplace first went live, it was unlimited for anyone (brokers too)...hence the term.
ive edited the pages, but obviously missed some since we began charging those posting more than 25 back in october.
there is nothing intentionally misleading about it. If you are an individual member posting your timeshare for sale or for rent, you wont ever get charged for it while you have an active TUG membership.
This site exists for individual owners, and the items I develop for them to use are intended to enhance their already cheap membership at no additional cost to them.
For those that wish to take advantage of said free items and use "more than their fair share" they can help support the development and maint of the site.
you can also achieve more free ads by referring members, or writing reviews...thus making the number of free ads you can have completely unlimited given you put back into the site by donating your time to write reviews or tell others about TUG.
Heck you can have your membership for free FOREVER if you post enough reviews or refer enough people.
I am running out of ways to continue to give things away for free. Every time I do there is always a small amount of people who feel its unfair in some way.
