    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

This post is against the TOS, sorry. That's why it was closed the first time you posted. And actually, I answered you before it was closed, so you have an idea of what you might be looking at, as I breed leos myself.

But...this one is going to be closed too. Just an FYI. :shrug01:

Moo...the thread was deleted, due to the fact that it wasn't in classifieds.
 
well how about if i say some one is willing to pay the right amount and make a good offer for the both of us they might take them....
 
See. that makes it an ad. Which means this is an inappropriate place for this. You would need to make an ad in the Leopard gecko's for sale part of the site.
 
The last thread WAS in the classifieds...and it was closed because he specifically said the animals were not for sale. That's why it's here.
Granted, discussions about the value of animals which aren't for sale are a bit unusual... BUT, if they aren't for sale, and he wants several opinions (ongoing topic), it doesn't belong in the classifieds.

Wade, you need to make up your mind what your intent is. You can't negotiate deals in the discussion forums, and you can't hold discussion in the classifieds.

(btw - the OP is the one that deleted the other thread, not me)
 
Have you tried doing a little research by checking current classifieds on what you have?
I'm not into geckos, either, but before I buy something, the first thing I do is compare pricing on the classifieds.
The second thing I do is CHECK THE BOI for the seller's reputation!
 
yea i have but it all depend on the genetics and color and trying to find both of those is VERY hard and i konw they are all around 50-100
 
Well, there ya go. Seems like the only thing you have to do is make up your mind what to sell them for! Good luck.
